**2021 Iowa Basketball Offseason Thread**

[Brownzy]

Ricky Bobby: Wait, Dad. Don’t you remember the time you told me “If you ain’t first, you’re last”?
Reese Bobby: Huh? What are you talking about, Son?
Ricky Bobby: That day at school.
Reese Bobby: Oh hell, Son, I was high that day. That doesn’t make any sense at all, you can be second, third, fourth… hell you can even be fifth.
Ricky Bobby: What? I’ve lived my whole life by that!

Do I have to like women’s sports now? I don’t, and never will.

 

[CleteyColgate]

I always like telling young kids that second place is really first loser.

Don't worry @Shawneemicks you are a loser regardless of place

 

[CleteyColgate]

Do I have to like women’s sports now? I don’t, and never will.

Yes. You are forced to.

[hawkeyealum]

Women’s sand volleyball should be featured more on espn

like every match

 

[Greg Obrecht]

You make a valid point.

 

[BngHawk]

I mean fuck. Why are they not just naked?

 

[kenos]

I mean fuck. Why are they not just naked?

That would mean naked men's archery as well. Nude olympics start to sound good, until you consider the full implications.

I wouldn’t mind. The human body is wonderful.

including some hairy bowling-ball looking dude who's grunting like he's pinching the world's biggest loaf as he does a clean and jerk?

 

[Shawneemicks]

Especially then

 

[kenos]

I forgot. That would be most of Halo.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

[BngHawk]

I’m sure there would be enough naked Olympian candy for the ladies to enjoy as well.

 

[cloudhawk]

I'd like that without the volleyball

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

I’d let her volley my balls, if you know what I’m saying.

 

[Fletch]

I’d let her volley my balls, if you know what I’m saying.

You into pain, Keggy?

Scrawny once finished 4th in a three man race.

 

[CleteyColgate]

You are into castration?

 

[HerkyHopeful]

bohannon officially back next season. Fran better be with ulis 24/7

 

[BngHawk]

Back for sure now

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Here we go

More info from chad

 

[Greg Obrecht]

At least this is a thing

McCaffery’s pitch this time? That bohannon — who has spent almost all of his five years at the “1” (point guard) position — would fit well as a “2” (shooting guard) to complement a young group of guards that includes Joe Toussaint, Ahron Ulis and Tony Perkins.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

I know it's way cooler to say how much we don't want Jordan on the team next year, but I think this is a good thing for the Hawks.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Let's be honest, if Fran picked up a player in the portal with bohannon's numbers we would be beating our dicks raw. Him coming back could be huge if he is in a different role, an off ball shooter who plays D alongside Joe T, Ulis, and Perkins. Not CJ. Easier to hide one shitty defender than two

Fran was listening

 

[Lee Beevers]

 

[Alan Lomax]

He's 100% correct for wanting to come back. And if it is to play the 2, that's pretty much perfect.

 

[BluesHawk]

I mean, I hate that he's coming back. But if he is for sure, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he does great things in his final year.

 

[Stu Beagle]

So Connor at the 1?

 

[Brad Wesley]

 

[Silky Johnson]

I hope it goes well and it should help the team next year, but I still hate it.

 

[BuffettHawk]

Back for sure now

In the replies:

 

[fossilhawk]

Seems relevant again today.

 

[Hawkstrat]

What a turd.

 

[ivan_drago]

In this role, he’s a great addition to a team that desperately needs bodies.

Are you going to get a better guy in the portal at this point?

 

[bigazzturkeylegs]

“My original plans were not to come back. I was going to end it there and start playing professionally,” bohannon told the Register. “I was so sure I wasn’t coming back that I hadn’t opened up a single class until (Tuesday) night.”
.....
Academically, bohannon must finish the semester strong to be eligible next season. He feels good about that after working hard to catch up on assignments this past week.

I hope he's ineligible.

 

[Hawkstrat]

What does "in this role" mean?

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Swapped Fredrick for bohannon at the 2 and Nunge for Rebraca. I don't know how anyone isn't excited for next year's team. They were always going to have to replace the POY, but besides the loss of Garza the team is still full of talent. I do think Wieskamp stays in the draft though

 

[ivan_drago]

What does "in this role" mean?

A spot up shooter who likely isn’t going to start, isn’t going to play the 1, and get 15-20 minutes tops?

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I hope he's ineligible.

JBo didn’t come here to play school

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Hes gonna to get a nice reception in Ames.

 

[Silky Johnson]

No, Fran probably can’t find someone better. This *can* work and the initial statement seems encouraging. But if he becomes a huge distraction or causes any young guys to transfer it quickly becomes not worth it. Plus to me there’s the whole thing about already having had his shot, but with college basketball being a free for all anyway I guess it’s whatever.

 

[Verbal]

A spot up shooter who likely isn’t going to start, isn’t going to play the 1, and get 15-20 minutes tops?

If he's on the team and he's not hurt, he's going to start.

 

[ivan_drago]

If he's on the team and he's not hurt, he's going to start.

I don’t know about that, but even if he’s a starter, that’s in name only - Fran will probably be running line changes.

 

[Brad Wesley]

A spot up shooter who likely isn’t going to start, isn’t going to play the 1, and get 15-20 minutes tops?

Which PG is best suited to drive and kick to JBo?

 

[ivan_drago]

Which PG is best suited to drive and kick to JBo?

Jack McCaffery.

 

[Hawkstrat]

A spot up shooter who likely isn’t going to start, isn’t going to play the 1, and get 15-20 minutes tops?

I couldn't get the video to load, so maybe I'm missing something, but why assume any of that?

 

[HerkyHopeful]

My biggest concern with him returning will be team rebounding. We know what his defense is, which is the same as CJ, but without garza rebounding might be even more of a battle

 

[Billy Butters]

The different role stuff is pure wishcasting.

Not so fast my friend.
