Carton was guarding him much of the game.
I don’t know where you heard this, but it’s not close to accurate. Carton started maybe 3-4 possessions on him and switched to him several more times during possessions. 5 and 25 were the primary guys guarding Joe.

I can’t refute this without admitting that I streamed audio of a high school game.

Today I’ve learned that:

Mousecatine has a radio station

They have an actual good crew doing the games. For iowa high school anyways.

They have extremely good video equipment.

They have another radio station.

Chopsy is surprisingly good on the radio.

I agree. It also made my night when I put two and two together.

I have no idea why Wieskamp isn't ranked higher. He should start immediately at Iowa, but will probably get 12 mpg due to stupid rotations.

I went and watched Carton play North Scott Tuesday night. I didn't some away overly impressed but Seals is an athletic kid who can guard pretty well. Thought was was pretty explosive but he is a big ole bitch on the court. Yelling at teammates and refs the whole game.

Wieskamp will start as a Freshman and nobody should worry about that.

Chopsy and CVH on the call. At least CVH isn’t down there yelling at the student section to settle down. Wonder if his sportsmanship award is still intact.
CVH would never talk to me until I picked up the mic before a game junior year and did the "testes, testes....1...2....3?" over the loud speaker and he screamed at me.

I don’t think anyone is worried wieskamp won’t start. I’m more concerned fran will forget he’s on the team once he subs out

Always thought it was pronounced “Wise-camp” not “Wees-camp”

Fuck me, right?!

Not a chance of that happening.
Lol alum is on a roll. Let him go.
I don't know how anyone can laugh off people second guessing how Fran will use his personnel. I still love the guy but to assume Fran is going to make the obvious decision is dumb. This is a man that continued to throw Ellingson out at PG and still can't completely get away from guys like Wagner and Uhl when he has a front court full of young guys with potential. Weiskamp will be far and away the best option at SG or SF but Fran has to make a decision to sit a player he really likes in Baer to get bohannon/Connor/Weiskamp the minutes that they need. I don't think it will be easy for him.

By now you should know there are a few true believers on here who will not abide certain criticisms of lord Fran and his soon-to-be 3-9 basketball team.

It's creepy.

It has nothing to do with being critical of Fran, and has everything to do with trying to find whatever the reverse of a silver lining is. Iowa has a great recruit locked in and signed, don't try to find a way to turn that into a negative. And I'm firmly in the pessimistic crowd.

Fran has done some really dumb things, but when he gets a highly rated recruit he doesn't fuck around. Has he ever for a second not gone to Tyler Cook over and over despite the team being stuck with about 25 forwards? If Garza isn't stuck in foul trouble, Fran has him on the court all the time as well.

The Ellingson part is dumb, he would have never played him at PG outside of a few minutes per season if Connor was healthy and the Dom Uhl part is even dumber.

He hasn't played Uhl in more than 2 minutes in a game the entire season that wasn't a blowout.

There are valid criticisms of Fran, but this post you made is flat out fucking dumb.

This. I’m not “all-in” on Fran because of the way they play defense. But I’m not going to be all “yeah great. We’ll find a way to fuck this up” either.

Lol, this isn't Iowa is going to beat Purdue dumb but it's still pretty fucking dumb for you douglas.

I disagree on the Cook statement. Cook is averaging too few minutes in my eyes. He's averaging 26 mpg and Pemsl is averaging 17. That split should be more like 31/12.

How do we know Fran isn't going to continue to play Nunge out of position at the 3 and take more minutes from Weiskamp. The 12 mpg comment was obviously an exaggeration but I have my doubts that Fran will give the most deserving guys their fair share of minutes.
