**2021 Iowa Basketball Offseason Thread**

My friend texted me a rumor being floated on HR

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Yesefu to KU

Fran asleep at the wheel

Iowa was never going to be a factor for him.

Iowa was never going to be a factor for him.

The only way Iowa is going to land a pg that good is to get lucky on an under recruited guy out of high school or have some fortuitous connection.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Fran asleep at the wheel

Yeah with this list of immediate suitors not a whole lot Fran can do

Shawnee gotta Shawnee.

Fran won't recruit over two kids. The guy is loyal to a fault -- but that's also why his team loves him. No way he grabs a PG over Ahron and Joe.

We'll get some pasty bigs, maybe a wing if JoeW is committed to getting paid (in Europe).

Most important, Kansas is paying infinitely more.

well, that too.

Fran: you'll get some great shoes, and we just got these sweet t-shirts. Did I mention the training table?

KS: tell your uncle to pick up the dead drop.

LOL his major being business management is a big factor. So a major that 99.9% of colleges have is a big factor?

LOL @ picking a high major basketball player picking college based on their business management degree.

 

[SuperHans]

Sounds like something a mom would say, though.

Thanks Gus.

I have no idea how this works but the bidding already appears to be over $8,000.

I don’t know how these things work but now it’s at 7800

 

[Kamala]

I don’t know how these things work but now it’s at 7800

I loved watching Luka play for Iowa. I can not fathom wanting to go on a date with him. Especially for $8000

 

[hawkeyealum]

It was near 8200 last night. Not sure how it goes down but the bid numbers are the same I think

 

[The Tin Man]

It appears the bids are in ethereum, therefore the dollar exchange rate would change based on market conditions.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Not many Iowa fans into this I guess

 

[BngHawk]

This is correct. You a coin havin fuck? I don’t recall your participation in the coin thread

 

[JR Hawks]

And if he fucks on the first date?

 

[Fletch]

And if he fucks on the first date?

He’d be an expensive whore.

 

[Shawneemicks]

This would seem to suggest that these players won’t make shit.

 

[kenos]

Who would have thought that you actually have to prove something in the NBA to become a valuable commodity to anyone other than a rabid, cultish fan of a good but not great college basketball team?

 

[thrawn]

I don’t think most players would earn shit, but an auction after finishing eligibility doesn’t prove much. He’s exhausted his value to anyone who cares.

 

[ivan_drago]

I don’t think most players would earn shit, but an auction after finishing eligibility doesn’t prove much. He’s exhausted his value to anyone who cares.

Agreed here. Had he done this during the tourney and it got $10K, we’d have a marker.

 

[Revolver]

He should have just set up a GoFundMe or something like that. Then Sandy from Winterset could send him $25 and thank him for the memories.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Can you only bid in coin? If so that seems less likely to get Iowa fan to donate

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Even though they weren’t so great? Fran tastes like Tom, but saltier.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I am thinking about bidding. I’ve spend 10k on way dumber shit than this.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Even though they weren’t so great? Fran tastes like Tom, but saltier.

So not as good as Gary?

 

[hawkstud44]

I mean there's someone bidding 8k already for a digital picture and a movie with a Luka. He can make money off of other things if he can sell this for 8k.

 

[Shawneemicks]

The list of people will or able to buy shit from luka fucking Garza is a very short list. And those few aren’t repeatedly buying different stuff.

How is the 2021 Iowa off-season looking?

He could have made money in Iowa City off advertisements etc during his career.

 

[scottsdalehawk]

Miller claimed on his podcast last week that Caitlyn Clark could be making 6 figures to advertise. Seems off to me by about 95k.

You listen to that? What is wrong with you?

 

[hawkeyealum]

I can’t imagine listening to miller’s podcast. He’s awful

 

[Herky823]

Not even @Alan Lomax listens to Miller’s podcast

 

[Revolver]

Of all the Iowa Podcasts I have ever listened to, the only one that I would consider “not awful” is the LockedOn Hawkeyes.

 

[Revolver]

How can he really think Caitlyn Clark is going to pile together $100k/year starring in ads for Linder Tire Service and the like?

 

[Shawneemicks]

He thinks they’ll make a bunch from social media. I told him he’s crazy.

 

[HiG 2.0]

How is Jon Miller 1) still taken seriously by anyone? And 2) still in the business of covering Iowa sports?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I would imagine that caitlin could make quite a bit via IG or YT due to the number of views her content would get. Bueckers was well known since junior high due to her training regimen.

YT content is all my kids watch on TV. The guys producing it are loaded.

 

[hawkeyealum]

She’d make more money on onlyfans

 

[thrawn]

She’d make more money on onlyfans

you guys realize there are a lot of people on the internet who aren’t thirsty middle aged men, right? she has 45k insta followers which is pretty good for 19 yo who isn’t sexualized much if at all

 

[L. Wade Childress]

That said, do you think people realize one of the main reasons why female athletes have such big followings on social? No male is going to try to publicly explain it to them. Hint: it’s not because of untapped demand for women’s athletics.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Of course, but I just don’t buy the idea of her (or any college WBB player) making a bunch of money on her likeness from those 45k followers unless she gets something from a major company. Only one WNBA player makes over 220K this year. No idea what they make in endorsements but I suspect it’s not a huge market

I know some of the major stars make a few million but it’s a small number of athletes

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

The Cavinder twins have 2.8 million followers on Tik Tok. These athletes can make plenty on social media.

I love how this is thrown out as though the average HaLo poster would know who they are.

Never heard of them
