**2021 Iowa Basketball Offseason Thread**

[Hawkstrat]

I Kind of hope he does transfer, I would feel less like an ass for not liking him. He really did make some big shots and completely out performed his recruiting profile.

 

[MikeyJoe]

One of the hallmarks of Frans tenure is guys having strong Jr/Sr year performances. Hope Joe can be one of those guys too.

Can he coach qbs?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

He’s going to grad transfer somewhere because he realizes it’s the only way he’s staying relevant

i hope he goes to iowa state or Wisconsin

I think Dom Uhl missed this part of Freshmen orientation.

I think Dom Uhl missed this part of Freshmen orientation.

Dom got a lot better his last two years. He just crammed it all into Dec-Jan his junior year.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Dom Uhl became a nihilist like a lot of Germans do a couple of years into college.

A Tipping Point for Paying College Athletes? - The Journal.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association faces mounting pressure to let its athletes get paid. WSJ's Rachel Bachman traces the changes in public opinion on the issue and outlines what's at stake in an upcoming Supreme Court case. Plus, a University of Iowa star Jordan bohannon shares why he...

Liberal use of star.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Hey guys, it’s Williams. I am looking to put together a focus group in order to find ways to improve the lives of young people throughout the country. Gen Z struggles with addiction to tech, self image and anxiety issues, and has trouble coping with social and financial reality, including the burden of student debt. College athletes are no different. I think we can encourage our public leaders to put forth legislation to ease this burden.

Wait- I’ve got it! Let’s PASS LAWS THAT ALLOW THEM TO GET PAID BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS THEY HAVE!! ITS SO SIMPLE!!

 

[Stu Beagle]

I do agree that these players have a very small window to make money off likeness and should be allowed to do it.

they have a small window to make a small amount of money. Sounds like a good reason to blow up a system.

Lol. Your not going ok with them making a few bucks so we can move on from this argument ?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

hey, remember when we gave them a few bucks a couple years ago and no one moved on?

You think it sucks now when they don't think its fair that they aren't making theoretical dollars. Imagine, the whining that is going to happen when a couple guys make a little money and others who think they should be making a little money dont.

 

[bigazzturkeylegs]

Watching the tournament and getting real depressed about the future of the backcourt. Toussaint ain't it. Perkins is an undersized SG that can't shoot. Ulis better be the truth.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Jesus Christ. Perkins played important minutes as a freshman on a top 5 team, which had 7 players returning with starting experience coming into the season.

i get people being upset how this year ended but jesus christ. Iowa's roster is prepared well for the next few years. Even better if they can find an impact post. Who says perkins cant improve his deep shooting? If only iowa had some long, 3 point shooting players waiting in the wings to play alongside Perkins...

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Lol. The future of the backcourt.

 

[TJones3312]

Joe T is the key.

 

[Lee Beevers]

I can’t understand being down on Perkins at all. He forced his way into the rotation (with a little help) as a freshman. He’s allowed to get better.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Despite a lot of guys returning, there are a lot of question marks. You don't need to be a pessimist to see next season being rough, but it's not that hard to see next year's team being pretty good.

If Ulis and Toussaint can be serviceable, I'm going to choose to be optimistic.

 

[bigazzturkeylegs]

Perkins has a pretty low ceiling offensively.

 

[MikeyJoe]

He’s not the same player necessarily, but my guess is that Perkins has an Anthony Clemmons like ceiling.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

He’s not the same player necessarily, but my guess is that Perkins has an Anthony Clemmons like ceiling.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

He’s not the same player necessarily, but my guess is that Perkins has an Anthony Clemmons like ceiling.

I don’t follow this at all with regards to ceiling. If he can become a 35% 3 point shooter, he has a very high ceiling. He’s strong, bouncy, pretty quick and potential to be a very good defender. Put a decent shot with that and you could have a really good player. I don’t know if he gets there but I also don’t know if I’ve seen reason he won’t become a decent shooter.

 

[MikeyJoe]

That wasn’t supposed to be an insult. Clemmons was a good player. Just not a star.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I don’t see the upside with Perkins either.

 

[Lee Beevers]

You guys don’t like bouncy kids who compete? I don’t think he’s destined for a several year NBA career or anything, but I haven’t seen a thing that tells me Tony can’t be a very good college player.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Every team playing today ain’t bad at defense

 

[HiawathaHawk]

That wasn’t supposed to be an insult. Clemmons was a good player. Just not a star.

Clemmons might be a likely outcome. I just think the ceiling part is wrong. He’s more athletic and rebounded his ass off. He wasn’t asked to do much but wasn’t a mistake guy. If he becomes a serviceable shooter, that’s a good player who is better than Clemmons. Too soon to have any idea on his shot I think.

Villanova’s D was comparable to Iowa’s statistically.

I think you got both sides covered there Doug Jr

 

[Hawkstrat]

That would be a great comment if I was making predictions rather than pointing out next year is wide open.

 

[KitKatApples]

Yea fuck you AZ

 

[CamelTones]

I assume the concern with Perkins outside shooting is based entirely on his free throw shooting? The fact that he didn’t hesitate on that corner 3 against Oregon tells me he’s a confident shooter. It looks like he took a bunch of 3s in high school. He looks like the exact type of player everyone on this board has been talking about Iowa needing since they lost. He was a true freshman that wasn’t expected to contribute but Fran trusted to play second half minutes in Big Ten games.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

You guys don’t like bouncy kids who compete? I don’t think he’s destined for a several year NBA career or anything, but I haven’t seen a thing that tells me Tony can’t be a very good college player.

I never said I don’t like him, nor do I want him to leave or think he will suck. I just think his combination of ball handling, size, and shooting limit his upside.

I mean every other high major coach evidently agreed with me.

 

[Geese]

I don't get the hate on Perkins. I thought he looked good in what little time he got to play this year.

 

[MikeyJoe]

I don’t know if that’s directed at me but I don’t hate or have concern about Perkins.

 

[Fletch]

It’s about time Mikey got called out for all of his bullshit.
