[Stu Beagle]

My bad, google pulled up his pro stats not college

Don’t put the blame on Google here Stu.

 

[thrawn]

 

[Geese]

Who cares if stu is wrong? Fuck Patrick

 

[snips]

butler fans are in for a rude awakening

 

[WCFHawkeye]

If Large Marge moves to Indianapolis to be with her 3 kids, and Fran stays in Iowa, Fran will be a very lucky guy.

 

[JD720]

Lucky for them they have a coach who can sit him on his ass if needed and not hear about it at home.

 

[6deuce]

Fuckin A

At least Connor gave a fuck.

I gave a fuck too, but got substantially less minutes.

 

[BillyBob]

I can’t believe the SpenceDawg and Sad Pat transferred for another year of sportsball. Like, haven’t they had enough? Just fucking quit, you losers.

Sadly, they were both likely paid some amount of money to do so.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Total? As in 5 years?

Fuuuuuccccckkkkk

lol no that’s just this year but he had a pathetic 95 fouls in 123 career games. Just a no challenging puss

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

What’s the market for Pat? A box of fruit by the foot?

 

[Herbie2]

6'9"
123 Career Games
2,569 minutes played
83 offensive rebounds = 1 every 31 MP
95 personal fouls = 1 every 27 MP

 

[hawkeyealum]

For comparison Connor, who actually gave a fuck, had 366 fouls in 166 games.

Keegan 123 in 66 games

and Kris, who Patrick played over managed to get 151 in 77 games.

Patrick is so far off the norm is just pathetic.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Yes, fouling the other team as often as possible is fucking sound logic for winning games.

One could argue Patrick cared too much considering his mental health struggles.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Connors are skewed because of alot of late game intention shit but a fucking a guy who plays 2500 minutes should end up with more than 95 fouls if he gave a shit at all on defense.

averaged less than one foul a game.

[KitKatApples]

JFC

 

[Saul Berkley]

For the son of a coach he had amazingly little awareness on the court.

I've never seen someone so lost playing a zone defense as Patrick was.

 

[Brad Wesley]

lol no that’s just this year but he had a pathetic 95 fouls in 123 career games. Just a no challenging puss

But the fans were unfair to Patrick.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Likely as lost as Fran.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

it’s time to end this project.

 

[brantshawks]

It's amazing that every single take on sports is more retarded than the last.

 

[KitKatApples]

And the fucking confidence to go with it is astounding

 

[ABeardedDragon]

I bet the lack of fouls was because his defense was spot on.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

For comparison Connor, who actually gave a fuck, had 366 fouls in 166 games.

Keegan 123 in 66 games

and Kris, who Patrick played over managed to get 151 in 77 games.

Patrick is so far off the norm is just pathetic.

He has an X-like ability to avoid contact.

 

[Silky Johnson]

I’d love to know what percentage of those fouls allowed a chance at a three point play. It definitely felt like a bunch.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Tony P is headed to Mizzou.

 

[JD720]

Good pickup for them. Maybe they'll win a conference game this year.

 

[douglasbader]

The last few days are exactly why I laughed at someone recently that said "oh, after a few years of NIL this will all slow down and the money will reduce when people see the players aren't that good that they paid for".

Lol. Programs are paying for $300k for Tony Perkins and Patrick McCaffery was able to get money and what sounds like a starting role at a good school like Butler.

Every single offseason everyone will forget and just think they are a player like these away from totally contending for a conference championship and making a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

and Patrick McCaffery was able to get money -

 

[brantshawks]

I know there's a lot of dick sucking in the state of Missouri. Maybe that was a part of the package deal.

 

[douglasbader]

Also, players including the two above, are signing all over the country. Iowa seems to not be close on anyone.

Everything sucks.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Iowa seems to not be close on anyone.

They have guys visiting this week?

 

[douglasbader]

They have guys visiting this week?

I'm sure it will work out well.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

That's the problem. Iowa is never going to get the guys that make them marginally better. It's always going to be mid-major guys that fill holes.

 

[douglasbader]

I'm going to laugh when Iowa's big pick up from the transfer portal is Dasonte Bowen.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Good pickup for them. Maybe they'll win a conference game this year.

For the love of the game. Would play for free if he had to.

 

[TurdBurgler]

Mid major Canadians you mean. 5 million a year doesn't seem that crazy for a high major college basketball roster.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

guys that fill holes.

 

[Verbal]

Mid major Canadians you mean. 5 million a year doesn't seem that crazy for a high major college basketball roster.

It's an insanely high number since it has to be continuously fundraised and can't come from tv money or whatever.

fran will acquire him for a bargain -- 50k and a player to be named later

A starting role?

The source of the money is the weird part for sure.

 

[MikeyJoe]

And also the comparison to the NBA that was made a few pages back is absurd. The NBA generates substantially more revenue and pays it out to fewer players.

And they're not having to pay for an entire football team at the same time
