God I forgot those names and how excited we collectively were to be in the hunt.
We were basically coming off watching a 10 win Todd The Criminal team with a recruiting class of the below.
Cully Payne
Andrew Brommer
Brennan Cougill
Devon Archie
Eric May
Fucking kill me before Iowa basketball stoops that low again.
Jeeeeeeezus.
It's easy to forget just how vast the smoking crater that Fuckface and the Criminal left behind was. Like, the only one of those recruits that was worth a shit was May, and even he was, objectively speaking, only good in comparison to the dumpster fire he came in with. I mean, my God,
Cully Payne was getting a goddamn basketball scholarship. Cully fucking Payne. (I can already hear IowaFan starting to shriek about how May was one of Fran's foundation guys and high character and high motor, and I won't argue that he had a substantial impact in the early Fran years, but he'd be Austin Ash in terms of playing time on last year's team regardless of what he meant to the early Fran teams.)
(And now I'm mad again, and not even at The Criminal. The dolt may have been a shitty coach and recruiter but what he was handed was basically set into place by that greasy sniveling Indiana fuck we fired Tom Davis to hire in 1999. Fuck him and what he did to this program, and my dearest wish is for Fran to get just one chance at a team that piece of shit coaches one day (preferably at Carver, where the shitbag can get the welcoming-back he so richly deserves as a side to the violent non-consensual sodomy he'll get from the home team.))
