Nope. When YOU started singing it.

Oh

#NBAAcademyGames - Highlight Play - Chris Tadjo

Steal and slam for #NBAAcademyLatinAmerica Chris Tadjo!!

It will be interesting to see why Fran took basically another Pryce Sandfort. Can you even play them together?

Already out of leches

 

[BBK]

Rutgers signing the #2 and #3 croots for 2024 is pretty wild.

Of course they'll be one and dones, but with most of the upper division teams regrouping next year they could be a frontrunner.

I think it's good for the conference. Make the Douche a top end recruiting destination again

Who is the other top recruit besides bailey?

Dylan Harper

Dylan Harper

I see that now, thanks. When i went to 247 and rivals he wasn’t listed.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I know he’s skinny, white, and we don’t see highlights of misses….but Koch appears to be a very clutch shooter over the years.

[L. Wade Childress]

Whoa- I hadn’t seen him since last year. He’s definitely put on good weight.

 

[Creed]

I didn’t realize he was white.

 

[KitKatApples]

Then you’re stupid

 

[kenos]

Tadjo now top 150, one spot above Caden Diggs

Fuckin Fran

[CleteyColgate]

Fran will want to stick around to coach this group for another 2-3 seasons at minimum

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Tadjo now top 150, one spot above Caden Diggs

Fuckin Fran

On3 has him top 50.

He just played in some all star game I watched for a second. His first shot was a 3pointer that hit the backboard and nothing else. It looked like it was shot out of a tshirt cannon.

But...he can do other things that will thicken your noodle.

Anyone can be taught to shoot (except Josh Oglesby). You cannot teach 6'8'', athletic and black as shit. You are born with that, and Iowa needs more of it.

 

[Dolomitey]

Jok seemed to throw up that same first shot brick every game his freshman year until Tennessee.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

9:53 is kind of nice. Reminds me of seeing the highlights of Pryce Sandfort when he was at Waukee.

Also, I don't see the horrid 3 point shot. May have been someone else.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Rutgers has a nice class coming in. This also make me feel really old:

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Holy fuck

So I assume he'll be on the Tyler Cook progression. By year 3 he'll be firing up midrange jumpers that have very little chance of going in

Tyler Cook's first basket as an Iowa Hawkeye was a 3-pointer.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Tyler Cook's first basket as an Iowa Hawkeye was a 3-pointer.

Which was 1/3 of his career 3 pointers

 

[Verbal]

According to the box score from Cook's first game on November 11, 2016, he scored 6 points, but was 0-1 on 3-point attempts. I am tired of the lies!

 

[Verbal]

It could have been an exhibition, I guess.

I refuse to believe that. Was there an exhibition?

 

[Verbal]

I refuse to believe that. Was there an exhibition?

There was, against Regis University. Cook was 0-2 on 3-pointers.

It appears he finally connected on his first 3 in the third game of the regular season against Seton Hall.

[L. Wade Childress]

Tyler Cook's first basket as an Iowa Hawkeye was a 3-pointer.

I was there. I was like, oh shit we have an NBA small forward now.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I guarantee fucking tee Cook made a three-pointer. It was from the left wing.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Well, that may have been the first game I viewed or on TV, so I have been vindicated as RATT.

It was on the L side.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

It was either Friday or Saturday because I attended with a bunch of friends from Georgia. I think we were playing some team from down there.

It was Kennesaw State, and it was a Friday. But according to the box scores on both ESPN.com and hawkeyesports.com, Cook was 0-1 from 3.

[Verbal]

In fact, he was 1-7 from the field, and the 1 was a dunk.

 

[CamelTones]

I believe Cook was injured at the start of his freshman season and missed a couple games.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

I also remember Cook hitting a 3 in his first game. Then I went home and watched my favorite Sinbad movie Shazam! before tucking my kids into bed with a Berenstein Bears story.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Did that really happen?

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

Did that really happen?

Not sure.

 

[tallperson54]

I think that 3 got waved off because of a foul or turnover. That make would have raised his career 3P% from 14% to 19%.

I wish there was a way to easily find his midrange %. It feels like it was about the same.

It's not exactly the same, but hoop-math.com keeps track of non rim 2's. TC made 109/352 in his 3 years, 31.0%.

 

[CamelTones]

Every Tyler Cook jump shot and free throw damaged my mental health.

 

[Lee Beevers]

There appears to be several liars and scumbags on this bb regarding Iowa basketball history!

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Loss of Tadjo would be one likely downside of Fran retiring/moving on.

 

[LifelongHawk]

Fran is not retiring/moving on, time for y'all to accept that fact.

His frosh + recruits are too good.

 

[hawkeyealum]

I really don’t see him not watching Jack play college basketball in person

 

[L. Wade Childress]

God forbid we have to suck it up and watch another 4* McCaffery play ball.

The nice thing about Jack is that he seems to be a prototypical stretch 4, where his brothers did not really have a position in terms of the attributes you like to see in college. Connor was too slow and could not really shoot, while Patrick, well, doesn’t do anything.
