You sound like a little bitch. Enjoy the moment, hope for the best.Make the selection today, that's 4 NCAA births in 8 years. Make it next year (which they should), 5 in 9. Davis made it 6 times in the 90s, so, I'd argue that Fran has the program back to its sustainable ceiling, given the shitty recruiting base, limited facilities, and idiot fan base.
I'm frustrated by Franball, but this is an acceptable level -- you'd need to find a cheating motherfucker or transfer artist to do much better at Iowa.
Agreed. One elite eight run and the entire complexion of this program changes. That chance has been in play, and it will continue to be.You sound like a little bitch.

Also very tired of ceiling talk. Fran has a decent amount of talent on this roster, with a couple more on the way next year.
Start making regular tourney appearances, and you have a chance to get better classes, especially with upcoming changes to NBA early entry rules.
A power five school isn't precluded from being successful just by virtue. Look at Virginia. Or Gonzaga, Wichita State. I'm not saying we're destined to be an elite or even good program. But it's not impossible and talk of "ceilings" is self defeating.nyuk nyuk nyuk.
We'll see how the new recruiting rules impact mid-level P5 programs like Iowa. People who measure Iowa against the Lute era (completely different recruiting landscape) or the Ravelling era (bag man!) need to make an honest assessment of where a school like Iowa really is in 2019.
Making the ncaa 4 years out of every 5, and an occasional once-a-decade sweet 16 is about where you're going to get. Internet tough guy talk and adamant insistence on Lute-level performance is pretty silly.
They got a decent shot at that when Garza's a senior/Weiskamp's a junior especially if they land Foster.Agreed. One elite eight run and the entire complexion of this program changes.

I think Toussaint will have a bigger impact on Iowa making a run that year. There is just so much skill on this roster but I wouldn't say any player makes the game easier for their teammates. I think Weiskamp will when he gets more touches and Toussaint has the potential to help on both ends of the floor.They got a decent shot at that when Garza's a senior/Weiskamp's a junior especially if they land Foster.Agreed.

Thanks for keeping me in czech. What role do you think he will have his sophomore year?A lot of wishful thinking about Toussaint with Iowa fans. Two unknowns. One, he's never played a college game and we are assuming he takes over the role we want him to.
It's a fair point though. I'm excited by what I've seen, but he doesn't have the kind of recruiting profile that screams can't miss.Thanks for keeping me in czech.

Right but no matter how good Foster is if Toussaint sucks that team isn't making the elite 8 IMO, which was the point of my initial post. Toussaint should have a big role his sophomore year. That's why I used the word potential. He has something no other Fran PG has ever had but I realize alot of quick guards don't pan out.It's a fair point though.

Sort of, but I would say he was better at changing speeds and more crafty than jet quick. Either way Toussaint is going to have alot more skill around him than Cartwright. I tend to think Toussaint is going to have a big role his sophomore year but it sounds like some here disagreeCartwright kinda did.
All of them?The fact is blue blood programs like Kansas are cheating.
4* nowI too am expecting the unheralded 3 star PG recruit to make a huge impact.
Earth, Wind, & Fire.EWF?

My bad. I remembered him as a 3 star on Rivals, and was too lazy to look it up.Gesell was a consensus 4* and made the tourney three times
Agree on the first two points but Iowa's fans have zero impact on anything. If we did, then the inverse would be true and fans should get credit for when Iowa succeeds which is also retarded. The only thing fans can control is attendance at games. Iowa can improve in that area but aren't terrible.Make the selection today, that's 4 NCAA births in 8 years.

He was a great get at the time, just didn't develop as much as we all hoped. He was a pretty good athlete, just couldn't finish a play or shoot the 3 to save his life.Gesell was a consensus 4* and made the tourney three times

I don't remember him being abused on defense like Iowa has the past three seasons, but maybe I'm losing my memory.
For anyone expecting a quick turnover with Joe T next season, he can't guard all the perimeter positions. It will be a lot of the same unless Fran can revamp the backcourt group.

Adding Wieskamp (and by some extent Connor) took this team from 14 wins to 22 wins and the NCAA Tournament. That was with Garza being way behind due to medical and injury, Cook getting banged up and other factors.
Give Iowa a real penetrating PG backup and another shooter with Nunge and inside player with Pemsl and this team is even deeper and stronger.
No prediction yet, have to see what Cook is going to do.If you were to boil all these words down to a point or a prediction, what would it be?Disagree to some extent.He was a great get at the time, just didn't develop as much as we all hoped.

My fear next year is Fran goes back to playing 13 guys.No prediction yet, have to see what Cook is going to do.If you were to boil all these words down to a point or a prediction, what would it be?Disagree to some extent.

The point is I think Iowa is going to continue to improve next year. They are adding more pieces and potentially not losing much.
It will work itself out. I think they will only have 11 scholarship players with Till getting an open one for a year.My fear next year is Fran goes back to playing 13 guys.No prediction yet, have to see what Cook is going to do.If you were to boil all these words down to a point or a prediction, what would it be?

Need to see him properly handle depth to count it as a strength at this point.
I've talked myself into that last year most of the rotation issues were because they didn't have a SF or backup PG on the roster and Fran was just throwing shit at a wall to fill those spots.It will work itself out.

2 guys are going to not be here that are currently on the team.
Absolutely. My dad tried to teach me that shot growing up. Not that I would’ve been able to perfect it, but I should’ve listened. It’s nearly unguardable when executed. I always felt like an idiot throwing up the running hook brick though.Simpson’s running hook is an incredible weapon. He deserves huge props for developing that because he probably took a ton of shit along the way.
What's your guess -- Dailey and Frederick?2 guys are going to not be here that are currently on the team.
No way is Fredrick transferring. That guy was willing to come to Iowa without even knowing if he’d have a scholarship. Best candidates are Cook, Dailey, Connor in that orderWhat's your guess -- Dailey and Frederick?2 guys are going to not be here that are currently on the team.
Why would Connor transfer? That's ridiculous. I could see Moss leavingNo way is Fredrick transferring. That guy was willing to come to Iowa without even knowing if he’d have a scholarship.

He wouldn't transfer, he would just play baseball. But, I don't think that happens.Why would Connor transfer? That's ridiculous. I could see Moss leavingNo way is Fredrick transferring.

Connor isn’t quitting basketball before he has a chance to play with Patrick in an Iowa uniform. It’s simply not happening.He wouldn't transfer, he would just play baseball.
