With CJ leaving, I like bohannon staying as long as nobody leaves because he is staying.

If we lost Ulis or even Joe T (is the key), however, I would be quite annoyed.

And as you know, I love bohannon.

Jordan bohannon made his Iowa debut nine days after the Cubs won the 2016 World Series.

He’s already played during three different presidential administrations.

Tom Brady has won 3 non-consecutive Super Bowls since bohannon arrived on campus.

Which is amazing when you consider Brady started that run about 8 years after his career ended.

God he’s a faggot

Stop

so much no win here, unless fran manages personalities and minutes flawlessly. block the development of your top 150, out of state pg, frustrate your new yorker again, or have your proud veteran pout on the bench. as has been said, this only maybe possibly works if bo moves to the 2 -- and creates a huge defensive liability at the position where the opposing team usually has their most athletic, effective scorer, who would have an easy five or six inches of height on bo.

bohannon should have just gotten on with life after basketball.

This bohannon shit may end up being the worst legacy of the COVID pandemic.

Long haul JBo.

I take one for halo and get it a second time if it meant he didn’t come back

 

[CurdMan]

The concerns about bohannon returning are legit. He annoys me too and it could get worse if he sees this as his team. But there are also legit concerns about Tony Perkins being your starting 2 guard and not having sufficient 3 point shooting. I think Fran needs to get a guard if bohannon doesn’t return and to this point I have no reason to believe he is actively seeking one out in the portal.

 

[Shawneemicks]

What exactly is Fran doing?

 

[Geese]

What exactly is Fran doing?

U already know the answer to that

 

[TJones3312]

What exactly is Fran doing?

Vacationing

 

[WCFHawkeye]

As others have said, if he is coming back to not play defense, and occasionally go off from 3-point range, maybe i would be okay with it.

If he is coming back to be a distraction and attention whore and use Iowa as a bully pulpit for NIL, he can fuck off.

There is about a 99% chance it is the latter.

GTFO @Nobody

 

[Debit One]

If bohannon comes back there may
be a point where Fran feels the need to defend himself and Jordan against Iowa fan backlash.

This would not be pretty.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

GTFO @Nobody

Absolutely not. @Nobody stays!

I would take random guard out of the portal over Jordan the Twat.

 

[Debit One]

Can we please programmatically change “bohannon” to “the Twat?”

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I thought a bit further about this and it’s interesting. I do think Jordan would make us a better team next year. But yet I still don’t want him back. I would rather have his 25 minutes go to younger guys. I am willing to sacrifice some short term pain for the long term.

that said, roughly 95% of Jorbo’s decision making appears to be driven by getting attention so I doubt he’s really gonna come back anyways.

 

[BluesHawk]

There is no way this ends well.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

For entertainment purposes I hope bohannon, Connor and Patrick all start.

 

[Debit One]

This is truly upsetting.

The team will not be good next year, with or without Jordan the Twat. Therefore, my only possible joy in watching them would be liking the players and watching their development.

Jordan the Twat will diminish all of that.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

He may be smart enough to realize he's just another dumb haircut when he's not on the Iowa basketball team and will get no attention, which is why he wants to come back.

 

[thrawn]

He wants to be told he isn’t welcome back to prove a point on the NCAA stuff.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Nothing helps a young team more than having a 6th year player with a "too cool for school" attitude.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’m truly baffled by Fran & particularly bow tie’s inability to recruit. For a staff that clearly has stability it’s almost inconceivable.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Speraw doesn't seem to do a lot of recruiting outside of iowa, but he seems to be Fran's go to guy on true coaching aspects of the game. The other two coaches don't seem to do much recruiting. When Andrew Francis was an assistant it was consistently he and Fran as the main recruiters for most everyone. Now without Francis, I have no idea who the other "recruiter" would be.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

I’m truly baffled by Fran & particularly bow tie’s inability to recruit. For a staff that clearly has stability it’s almost inconceivable.

I think he might disguise laziness as being above the slimy recruiting fray.

Fran's not letting him cheat, anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

For every Fran, there's 40 TJ Oztelbergers who are cheating at every turn.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

He may be smart enough to realize he's just another dumb haircut when he's not on the Iowa basketball team and will get no attention, which is why he wants to come back.

I think he’s probably not coming back but wants to maximize the drama around all of this for as long as he can.

 

[MikeyJoe]

Christ what a douche.

 

[CleteyColgate]

I thought you said he was vacationing or napping?

link?

 

[cloudhawk]

Get him a parking spot and a TV spot selling pancheros and have him focus on shooting 45% from 3

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Keep in mind that jorbos soph year started off awful because he was pissy about playing off the ball more when Connor arrived.

he just seems like an annoying teammate regardless of what people say publicly.

between jorbos youngest brother attention whoring and CJ clearly having one foot out the door, I feel bad for Luka and Joe.

 

[Swingin' Dick Stanzi]

bohannon shot 43% from three in Big Ten play and was, for the most part, passable defensively the last month or so. If we can get that bohannon all season, sign me up.

 

[douglasbader]

Fuck all of this. It is like a Pet Symetary situation. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean that you should and you are inviting evil into your house by upsetting the natural progression of things.

bohannon had 4 full years plus part of a 5th year. To come back for a 6th year when all he is going to be doing is promoting himself is a shitty thing for the program.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Narrator: we won’t

 

[douglasbader]

Nice job @MikeyJoe

 

[thrawn]

Christ what a douche.

Chris’s best tweet?

I am rewatching the Oregon game for the first time.

fuck you if you arent excited about next year. This is going to be a roster that Fran excels at managing.

Were Bucky fans this mad when Davidson came back?

It's amazing how much better the perimeter defense is without bohannon in there. Seriously look at Iowa's defensive efficiency numbers when we had Mike and Sapp. Then look at the bohannon years.

 

[Saul Berkley]

No but they embrace douchiness.
