**2021 Iowa Basketball Offseason Thread**

[Stomper15]

Huh. Apparently it's "Rebracha".

Rebra-mo

 

[CleteyColgate]

Looks like that guy from ND that committed to us....but only head, the body is of Joe W.

Great now Wieskamp definitely won't come back after this.

 

[chaneccooms]

Not sure where this person is getting the info, but they claim Rebraca will likely only be at Iowa for one year.

ANOTHER transfer out? Fuck.

 

[Hawkstrat]

He's guessing

Thats a fan account that is likely a 247 subscriber. I think Eikholt predicted he’d only be at Iowa one year. With that said Rebraca appears to be pretty academically driven so I could see him wanting to complete his masters under scholarship before going overseas.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

ANOTHER transfer out? Fuck.

The transfer portal needs a transfer portal

 

[CurdMan]

Honestly this is a pretty damn good team if Wieskamp returns. I don’t believe he will but I think it could be one of Frans better teams if he does. I know “built for March” is kinda dumb but I think we are all ready for a different kind of team makeup after last year and this team will have that with or without JW.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Joe W is the key

 

[CurdMan]

EJ Onu should be priority number one. I highly doubt it matriculates because he’s going to have so many options. But he’d be a perfect complement to the guys on this team.

 

[Harbinger]

Not sure where this person is getting the info, but they claim Rebraca will likely only be at Iowa for one year.

They just interviewed Rebraca on KCJJ here in Iowa City. He said he plans to be here two years, and wants to get an MBA. He did mention the possibility of turning pro if he had some unexpectedly incredible season, but it definitely didn't seem like Plan A.

 

[douglasbader]

@MikeyJoe or @HiawathaHawk or @eclone would have to check the stats, but this feels like it will be the closest team in style to what Fran became well known for at Sienna.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Omg

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Our fanbase is so fucking overreactionary. I honestly see very little reason to look at next year‘s roster and not be excited. Are there a shitload of unknowns? Sure. But Fran can fucking coach and he will change his style to fit his roster. I am also personally excited to see Sandfort likely stepping into a more important role that he probably expected when he signed. He can seriously fucking shoot. It would not surprise me to see him have a surprise freshman your impact similar to CJ.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I don't think being skeptical of a team losing Garza, bohannon, Nunge, Fredrick and likely(?) Joe W is all that much of an over reaction.

Sure, wanting to can Fran because of it is stupid, but this was always a probable down year.

All true. I think most look through the lens of “how will we replace what was lost?” Which isn’t the right way to evaluate it.

Iowa was bad because they didn’t have enough returning experience like, three years ago.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

the last time iowa lost a big senior class that you knew was coming they missed the tournament by one game.

Iowa was bad the following year because they had zero athletic guards or depth

 

[chaneccooms]

The biggest overreaction was the fans who were complaining about Fran not landing anyone in the transfer portal. Like he’s supposed to go around offering players willy-nilly like these programs with 3-4 players on their entire roster.

 

[Saul Berkley]

Iowa's guards next year will be the most athletic and quick group we have had in quite a while. Shooting will be a bit of a question mark but honestly most of Fran's early teams scored by driving to the hoop. I think we see more of that.

 

[kenos]

They'll be entertaining. Probably pretty frustrating, especially on defense, but they won't be dull.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Joe T

I actually think they will be better on defense, other than against teams that have a monster post. Certainly have to be better on the perimeter and help side D/blocks should be alright

The perimeter defense will absolutely be better. bohannon and CJ were awful.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Joe W is the key

Can Keegan be a big guard?

Iowa got rid of the full time MBA program. Is someone in the part-time program eligible to play NCAA sports?

[Squat Cobbler]

Sounds like bohannon decision coming

 

[TJones3312]

Fine. Al needs a new assistant video coordinator.

If he's already received his undergrad degree, then I believe he would be.

 

[BngHawk]

That’s some sir yacht shit there

 

[Will McCoy]

Joe W is the key

Doesn’t roll off the tongue.






unlike your wife.
Hnnnnnn. Fkkn burnt

Just needs to be enrolled in 9 credits I think for grad program.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

If he’s coming back, I hope the official announcement is like the CJ leaving announcement.

Roster update: Jordan bohannon has NOT entered the transfer portal.

 

[BVHawk95]

Eickholt saying bohannon leaning towards coming back after the CJF debacle.

Fuck me right in the ass.

 

[cloudhawk]

Kentucky already recruited over CJ so he wants to come back?

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Eickholt saying bohannon leaning towards coming back after the CJF debacle.

Fuck me right in the ass.

Those two are basically butt buddies so that info is probably pretty solid.

Good job of following directions

 

[hawkeyealum]

I really fucking hope not. Time to move on to Joe T, Ulis and perkins

 

[Verbal]

Eickholt saying bohannon leaning towards coming back after the CJF debacle.

Fuck me right in the ass.

I don't understand why C.J.'s decision to transfer would have anything to do with Jordan bohannon's decision to play a sixth season of college basketball.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’d assume Ulis is gone if true.

 

[TJones3312]

Good job of following directions

Quit sharing premium info!

 

[6deuce]

Which two? #askingforafriend

 

[Hawkstrat]

Iowa isn't going to find a better shooter, but I would be disappointed if he comes back. I'd rather grab some lower level stand in a corner guy and see what happens with Toussaint and Ulis at the point.

 

[douglasbader]

Iowa was bad because they didn’t have enough returning experience like, three years ago.

It was already pointed out, but this isn't really true. They were bad in 2014 because they had to run a fat banged up bohannon out there as the only guy that could dribble with Brady Ellingson and Maishe Daily as the backup.

The second Fran had 2 guys that could dribble they were a point away from going to the Sweet 16.

 

[douglasbader]

I fucking despise bohannon coming back, but IF he does then might as well talk about how it can/would work.

It wasn't like both Toussaint or Ulis were going to start, so that isn't a big issue. CJ was of course going to start at SG, so if you put bohannon there with Perkins playing a lot of minutes at SG, then it could work. The thing you don't want is bohannon playing PG.

It’s hard hitting analysis like this that makes me continue paying my premium subscription fee.

I don’t like the idea of bohannon coming back, but if he does I hope it’s as a shooting guard who can dribble, rather than a slow point guard who can shoot.
