**2020-2021 Iowa Basketball Season Thread**

[bigazzturkeylegs]

Did he develop that work ethic after his sophomore season?

Nah, but no one saw anything like this coming after two years.

I’m just glad someone is finally calling @The Dad out for his bullshit. It’s long overdue.

I only wish Luka worked hard his freshman and sophomore seasons so he could have been a 20 and 9 guy.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

How can you say this on the heels of Luka fucking Garza?

Think of scale. Luka was a 4-star with good offers.

 

[Kamala]

This is so stupid

 

[The Dad]

This is so stupid

Good point.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

The Dad also thinks the jump hook is the hardest shot in basketball so ....

 

[Mo T]

There aren't many coaches receiving extensions because their players didn't work hard and sucked.

It’s not my fault you make it look so easy.

Who is making this argument?

 

[BngHawk]

Still going, huh?

 

[CurdMan]

Fran has had quite a few hits and also some misses. But his hits have been really, really good. Most importantly, he plays to their strengths and puts guys in a system that works for them. He has vastly outperformed recruiting class rankings. It’s pretty similar to Kirk but without the breakthrough seasons once every 5 or so years. This has been one and my guess is we will get more before Frans time is up here. Overall, he’s been an excellent fit for a program like Iowa.

And that’s unfair to coach Prohm

 

[douglasbader]

How much of this does Fran specifically owe to Garza’s once in a generation work ethic?

Here is your original question.

The answer is none. Zero. Fran gets the same extension with or without Luka.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Iowa v. Wis was highest watched game on BTN ever. Fuck them mustelids.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Think of scale. Luka was a 4-star with good offers.

Will Luka be a better NBA player than Shaq?

Shaq was a zero star recruit.

 

[BuffettHawk]

 

[TJones3312]

Sam Vecenie of the Athletic put out his 3.9 mock today. Has Garza going 46 and 48. FYI fwiw

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

unanimous pick.

He's so good he is going to be drafted twice!

 

[TJones3312]

Lol fml. Weiskamp 48.

 

[CurdMan]

Feels like a big tournament for Wieskamp. Everyone knows Garza and nationally it has overshadowed JW’s fantastic season. Obviously NBA guys are already aware of him, but this will be a big stage for him to show the things he has improved this year

I was told he wasn't on their radar at all.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Against his will?

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Love seeing accountants get a comeuppance

and tax season has reached ludicrous proportions - basically January through October 31st these days.

Indiana State transfer Jake LaRavia committed to Wake Forest.

Flat tax got him.

How much additional money would Jordan actually make?

 

[hawkeyealum]

He’s so annoying. I wish his tweets would stop being shared

 

[MikeyJoe]

How much additional money would Jordan actually make?

Maybe an Iowa City car dealer would give him $10k to appear in an ad or something like that. IDK.

I do think he (and all NCAA athletes) should be able to benefit from his likeness, but I think he and I would probably differ in opinion on the amount to which he would benefit.

I don’t think it will be advertising like we normally think about it. I think the online stuff will provide some income. People pay to watch others play video games. I’m not going to pretend to understand it but maybe there is money to be made there.

I think a lot of college athletes will be able to make some ok money running camps in the summers. Go back to your home town and run a basketball camp, soccer camp or whatever it might be. That’s the most likely scenario for most of these kids. Actual business’ are going to be leery counting on 18-22 years not to do something stupid.

kids like Jordan think that they will make the same amount of money running a camp regardless of the school they play for. what would his likeness be worth if he had gone to Depaul? Zero.

I do think he overinflates what he could make, but that's irrelevant to the point. The opportunity to do it shouldn't be illegal according to the NCAA. It's so ridiculous.

 

[Verbal]

Jordan bohannon drives a Kia Sorrento?! I gotta get to my local McGrath dealer for the lowest prices of the season!

So if it’s the jersey that is actually creating the demand, the players should get to keep it all?

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

He could make some insta money.

 

[gohawkeyes811]

So if it’s the jersey that is actually creating the demand, the players should get to keep it all?

If his name is on the jersey? Sure, I didn't say he should keep it all but it's insane that he couldn't get paid for that.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

bohannon does not really bother me though. Like most kids his age he has absolutely no idea what the fuck he is talking about.

 

[gohawkeyes811]

He's absolutely going to end up being on the right side of history on this. There's no question.

You’re right. The school matters. But that doesn’t mean the player doesn’t have value as well.There’s an easy way to do this. Just go to the Olympic model. If a car dealership wants to pay Jordan 500 bucks to sign autographs for a while who cares?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

If his name is on the jersey? Sure, I didn't say he should keep it all but it's insane that he couldn't get paid for that.

Yes. Proceeds from a #3 jersey with his name on it would have to be split between the school and the player if we are being fair.

Scheels isn’t selling a Jordan bohannon Grand View jersey

Ok?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Ok?

ok. My point is that Jordan thinks there is this large pool of money that he should be able to tap into when it isn’t the case. Actually he probably doesn’t really think that he just likes to talk about it.

That's what he thinks? Listen I'm not the biggest fan of what he's doing, but how could you posit that is what he thinks?

It seems as though he's trying to push for the ability for players to be able to make money. What pool of money did he mention?

Well, I cannot read his mind, but the fact that he bitches about not being able to make money on his likeness every single day was my first hint.

He has and could have a ton of followers on social media. He could absolutely get paid for that.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Jordan is going to be insufferable when he's done playing.

 

[gohawkeyes811]

Huh? The "large pool of money" would just be the world at large. Some would be good at capitalizing on it, some wouldn't.

 

[Debit One]

He would be an absolutely horrible employee.

My Ts and Ps to his future employer.
