***2023-2024 Iowa Men’s Basketball Season Thread***

[douglasbader]

In addition to the Hawkeyes I am a fan of:
Las Vegas Raiders
Chicago White Sox
Chelsea FC
New York Rangers (actually good!!!)

I hate sports

You're a loser, so being a fan of those teams is not a shock.

Have another drink and cry more, retard.

 

[Kamala]

Lol

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Two sweet 16s with an elite 8 appearance is light years better than Francis.

I'd take his past 14 years over Fran no problem

that is fucking stupid

 

[BBK]

Good luck against LSU

 

[KitKatApples]

Lol that Charlie rose interview

 

[ISUFan98]

It wasn’t that great four fucking years ago when they were 2-22

The transfer portal allowed ISU to take a program that lost 42 games in two seasons and go to three consecutive tournaments with two SS appearances.

The hangup of Iowa basketball towards using the portal more extensively might be the biggest issue with the program. And then there's the flagrant nepotism.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Iowaa biggest portal hang up is not having a billionaire sugar daddy

 

[Herbie2]

Iowaa biggest portal hang up is not having a billionaire sugar daddy

Then Fran needs to get one.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Oh

 

[BillyBob]

There doesn’t seem to be much interest in serving as a sugar daddy for Iowa bball NIL.

Fran’s grotesque nepotism doesn’t seem to help either.

 

[Stu Beagle]

From what I can tell Iowa is getting the same exact type of players they got pre NIL

 

[snips]

yah
we were 'near misses' with good recruits PRE NIL days
pretty much staying at that coveted 'near miss' level with consistency even without the sugar daddy

 

[ivan_drago]

They play in a better arena with a much better atmosphere. ISU is a better job.

better arena lmfao Hilton is a fucking DUMP

 

[hawkeyealum]

better arena lmfao Hilton is a fucking DUMP

But because of magic you don’t even notice

 

[CleteyColgate]

Have another drink and cry more, retard.

Fran is still here. Wrong again, loser @douglasbader

 

[Uff Da]

Giving money to Iowa BB via NIL seems like a waste. A different coach might increase NIL for BB.

 

[Czarcasm]

Albaugh does not support the program like you guys are insinuating. If the NIL numbers are true, the base/guarantee from the collective is higher for mbb at Iowa than Iowa State.

 

[Herbie2]

While the rumors of Albaugh's support are greatly overstated, his support has nothing to do with the collective, so, as usual, your point is not at all germane to the conversation at hand.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

it’s not Albaugh, it’s Loutsch (and others) , and the NIL rules changed nothing they have been doing for 20+ years.

 

[Czarcasm]

LOL, like you two yokel fucking dorks have the inside scoop on Iowa State basketball.

 

[neshawk]

Barta and Fran embraced the BIG's four year scholarship guarantee. Any other coach would have ran Mulvey off by now. I'm hoping Beth will loosen it up and Fran can encourage his recruiting mistakes to move on.

I was told Mulvey is 7’8 now.

run*

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I actually forgot about that rule which makes the current system that much more absurd. You can leave whenever you want for more money, but we can’t cut you if you suck!!

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I was told Mulvey is 7’8 now.

You misheard, It was 7 to 8

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I would like to proactively go on record and say that we are going to be pretty good next year.

-Harding is going to take a huge jump with consistent minutes
-Freeman will be an all conference player
-Sandfort will be pretty similar but 1st team all conference.
-Dix will be healthy and consistent from the jump
-Pryce will play 15-20 mpg and have a jump similar from his brother’s freshman to soph year
-All those pasty fucks have a desire to guard and win
-Not worried about rebounding or blocking shots with Freeman, Dembele, and Tadjo.
-Koch will be similar to frosh Payton but physically ahead.

Overall, bad for DEI initiatives but good for fans.

 

[douglasbader]

Well, might have to put most of that on hold. Word out of Iowa City tonight is that Fran has an offer and is gone.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Lol

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Ok, cofftard

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I offered to help him pack

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Well, might have to put most of that on hold. Word out of Iowa City tonight is that Fran has an offer and is gone.

Culver’s stole another one, boyz.

 

[Harlan]

The group text has been notified.

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

Sure would’ve been nice to have Biliew and little Devries coming to Iowa instead of WV if that indeed is what is happening.

But fortunately there’s a lot to look forward to since Fran has simply had a run of bad luck. If we can just see it through it’s going to turn around.

I hope we can some day experience the success of Kevin Keatts, Ben Jacobson, or Wayne Tinkle.

[BillyBob]

Don’t forget about Patrick, he has a chance to improve next season.

[brantshawks]

Word got all the way to Austin that fast. Must be the Pony Express.

 

[KitKatApples]

More like phony express amirite!?!?!?!?!

 

[kenos]

Was hearing this two weeks ago.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

More like phony express amirite!?!?!?!?!

your mom's the conductor of the BoneMe Express

 

[Hawk&Balls]

CCMF

 

[KitKatApples]

Just happy she's keeping busy

 

[Hawkeye92]

Is Iowa at least getting transfers to campus or is Fran taking Pat on college visits?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I would be shocked if we get anyone of significance. The NIL money isn’t there and right or wrong Fran doesn’t like to recruit over guys.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

That would be hilarious if his mom goes with him though.

 

[6deuce]

I would be shocked if we get anyone of significance. The NIL money isn’t there and Fran is fucking retarded and doesn’t like to recruit over guys.

As much as I hate to give angry doug any credit, I have heard several others reporting the same thing. I hope it is true.
