***2024-2025 Iowa Men’s Basketball Season Thread***

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

I just looked at the wikipedia and Fran has been coaching at Iowa for 15 years now, and I'm kind of reeling with that number.

Where does it go?

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Seems longer. I would have bet a pickle spear that it had been 20.

 

[CamelTones]

They play MSU at home on Thursday. Rumor is it will start leaking out today. I’m guessing they would like to do something to honor him during the last home game.

The guy posting this shit will randomly pop in and post what he’s hearing and he’s usually spot on. Had the Lester hire before anyone even knew Lester was an option as well as the Gronowski commitment. He’s claiming they have secured the buyout money for DeVries and the CHA renovation. The administration wants to fix the men’s basketball issue. I’m not sure how that happens unless they improve their NIL position but here we are.

He is very Baseballa-ish....talks in generalities until other people bring actual names up...then makes sure all bases are covered.



Also talks about being heavily involved in the baseball NIL, but wouldn't share contact info w/ Brad.

Correct, but he wasn’t that far off on Pribula. Iowa thought they had him.

Sir Yacht, is that you ?

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Going from Francis to Darian. Ghey.

 

[Stu Beagle]

I don’t know much about Devries. But I knew nothing at all about Fran or Lick when they were hired

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

He's not Fran and that's good enough for me.

 

[ivan_drago]

Devries is great coach and it would be the biggest home run they could hit.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

He was the main recruiter for a great program for 17 years

Drake passed on him twice before bringing him in. He proceeded to make the tourney 3 times with one of the worst programs in the valley.

Rebuilt an entire 7-win WVU roster in a few months and may make the tournament this year

Connects well with fans and donors but has an edge to him

Wants the job if the NIL money is there

it’s a no brainer

 

[Kamala]

Maybe y’all should tap the brakes. These things tend to not go how we expect. I’d hate to see you disappointed

 

[Stu Beagle]

Fuck you. This is the most excited I’ve been all season

 

[KitKatApples]

Fuck you. This is the most excited I’ve been all season

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I’d be very happy with him or Ben.

 

[Herbie2]

9 NCAA trips in 17 years is not a "great program", CID.

 

[KitKatApples]

Ok a program noticeably better than Iowa

 

[L. Wade Childress]

They’ve had postseason success, hall of fame players, jumped to a bigger and better league, and have a defined basketball culture. I would call that great.

 

[douglasbader]

Maybe y’all should tap the brakes. These things tend to not go how we expect. I’d hate to see you disappointed

Maybe you should shut the fuck up

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Those are my EXPECTATIONS!!!!

 

[Verbal]

I assume we will have to wait until WVU is eliminated from the postseason, but let's do this. 15 years is a long time.

 

[Herbie2]

What post-season success?

 

[26.2]

I don't get the full blown throbber that people are getting with DeVries, But Fran's apathy this season has finally pushed me to the "get rid of him" team.

 

[Herbie2]

I think Bluder should get the first call.

 

[douglasbader]

I think Bluder should get the first call.

For the gangbang?

 

[kenos]

For the gangbang?

bukake

 

[The Dad]

If we don’t hire a black HC we’ll continue to be the Waukee all-stars. Hire the modern day equivalent of George Raveling, whoever that is.

Break the wheel!

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Darian's (what a freaking gay name) first order of business will be to run off every player with even a loose association to the current team.

Current players, commits, recruits...sorry, we'll play with just Tucker if need be.

He should spend every dollar of whatever NIL we have to sign a BBK approved PG and I will be content.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

What post-season success?

They’ve never missed the Big Ten tournament

Break the wheel!

All cash spends the same, homey.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

The days of needing some excellent recruiter that can relate to young black men is over. You need a bag and teammates that get along somewhat.

 

[CurdMan]

Devries checks all the boxes for what we could realistically hope for. Strong Iowa and midwestern ties (still want to recruit the state and region well), history of turning programs around quickly, speaks well and is recognizable around the state (NIL), and seems to recruit well. He’s either going to get the Iowa job or the Creighton job when it opens. Get him while you can.

 

[TurdBurgler]

We seem set with Darian, hope it works out. Indiana coaching search will be interesting to watch.

Not when you need a 180 culture shift. Break the wheel!

 

[Fletch]

Those are my EXPECTATIONS!!!!

Hi. I’m Nick, and I’m about to exceed your expectations.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

@The Dad hates himself some western suburbs.

he was I am a giant douche 6th man of the year. Recruit better and he could have stayed in that role.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

@The Dad hates himself some western suburbs.

I do, too!!! We all do.

I hate all the suburbs. Give me kids from the urbs.

I shit on Iowa football when their WR corps had 3 Ankeny kids. This isn’t directional hate.

 

[Kamala]

I do, too!!! We all do.

You go to a WDM suburb if you’re looking for a bar that can make a nice Paper Airplane. You go somewhere else if you’re looking for a high school that can make a Big Ten point guard

we are not in a position to be turning away all conference players.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Just some conference players?

Which came first, the Aiden or the egg?

Aidyn*

No one has ever covered all the bases so well.

 

[Fletch]

Covfefe appears to be a bit of a cunt.

Not familiar with RATT?

 

[BVHawk95]

VS



I don't think recruiting should be too big of an issue.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Especially if you are recruiting for a far right cult

 

[ISUFan98]

I don’t know much about Devries. But I knew nothing at all about Fran or Lick when they were hired

He took what was an atrocious WV team last year and got them on the bubble without the help of his son.

 

[ISUFan98]

Is there any danger of the university trying to put their paws all over this with a stupid hiring committee, or will Beth tell them to eat shit?
