**2025 Iowa Offseason & Coaching Search Thread***

Was not thinking Kael Combs would be BBK approved.

 

[MikeyJoe]

The last few years, effort isn't even the problem. They can try all they want, but they had no fucking clue what they were supposed to be doing on defense.

This has been brought up every single time this stupid argument was attempted.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Ad nausuem if you will.

 

[Fletch]

AZ nausuem if you will.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

If you sit back and really analyze it, toughness was actually a real trademark of Iowa basketball over the last several years.

 

[tallperson54]

I actually really like the Falbo video. It's weird in the best possible way.

 

[Gushawk]

Hard to argue they didn’t wildly exceed any realistic toughness expectation any reasonable person could have had for players prone to crying in closed bathroom
stalls or port-a-potties following disappointing performances.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

One thing that will certainly change the trajectory of the program is players who care less.

 

[KitKatApples]

Ad nausuem if you will.

Goes great with any recipe

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I actually want players that are so talented that they only come here for money and give poor effort and are still good enough to win.

 

[BillyBob]

The soft pussy culture that came to define Iowa basketball will not improve until the rot (such as fartbros et al) has been cleared.

 

[Geese]

If he wasn't a pussy I wouldn't mind the video either

 

[Gushawk]

crying = / = caring, at least about the things that matter, imo

I too would like to have Auburn’s roster instead of Fran’s.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I just can’t with LWade today

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

The Enright kid committed to Indiana. He fits the Indiana pepper-pot mold, but with skills closer to Harding.

 

[Brad Wesley]

Washington offered Pryce $3 million over two years.

This is beyond dumb.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Washington offered Pryce $3 million over two years.

 

[BillyBob]

Imagine paying price fart money to play basketball

This is a really retarded hill you are defending, my man

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I like peppers and pot.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

There’s no fucking way this is accurate. Is there?

 

[Gushawk]

go cry about it with Peyton

 

[WestMifflin]

This is beyond dumb.

I don't believe this lol

 

[L. Wade Childress]

go cry about it with Peyton

If I’m going to share a stall, it will be with Lois

 

[Mysterio]

he seemed like a weird person for iowa to recruit if they already had a point guard

 

[BuffettHawk]

This is a really retarded hill you are defending, my man

 

[Squat Cobbler]

There are probably 35 schools at least with a bigger NIL than Iowa. Washington gave their best player last year a $2 million deal before all this revenue sharing.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Dix is likely clearing $2.5M, maybe getting $3M for one year so that tracks. Shooting is expensive. If you have $7-$10 million for your roster….

 

[Verbal]

And he made 28 out of 44 free throws. You can’t put a price tag on that kind of reliability.

 

[rodg12]

You could say the Sadfarts were reason for the downfall of Fran. Thanks to the Sadfarts for your weak efforts!

I would argue that it was Patrick. Playing him over both Murrays at different points only became more and more laughable as time has progressed.

 

[brantshawks]

And he made 28 out of 44 free throws. You can’t put a price tag on that kind of reliability.

Jordan bohannon is rolling in his grave.

 

[Mysterio]

hes just brutal at free throws

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

This is what did it for me.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

One thing that will certainly change the trajectory of the program is players who care less.

Amen. I am so sick and tired of people arguing that having players that don’t care doesn’t matter. I applaud you for having the insight to recognize that and it totally validates your previous “not soft” arguments.

Thank you.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Pryce might not be great, but the hypothetical player from the portal who is over 6-5 and can shoot 40% from three-and has the kind of biceps to make guys like NLP and Gus get bricked, is going to be just as expensive if not more.

Goshawkeyton’s crying :: Me:X’s softness

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Goshawkeyton’s crying :: Me:X’s softness

You ok?

[MikeyJoe]

I understand that he needs to fill out the roster but hopefully at some point we'll add someone who didn't play for Drake last year.

 

[Mysterio]

that would suck if stirtz does goes to the draft

 

[Fair and Balanced]

I understand that he needs to fill out the roster but hopefully at some point we'll add someone who didn't play for Drake last year.

At least this guy is black.

@tcondon

 

[CamelTones]

I posed this question on TOS and everyone there asked me if I even watched Drake this year like the schedules were at all comparable.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

We were all sad two weeks ago at not getting the guy bringing the guy that played at Drake two years ago

 

[MikeyJoe]

I posed this question on TOS and everyone there asked me if I even watched Drake this year like the schedules were at all comparable.

Right - I also acknowledge Iowa isn't pulling 5 Big Ten caliber starters out of the portal at this point, so next year is going to be tough regardless. But Drake with 31 wins was #56 in Kenpom vs. Iowa's #63, and Iowa's "best" players are leaving. It's not a big upgrade.

 

[Mysterio]

they did beat more ncaa tournament teams than iowa. low bar tho

 

[Hawkstrat]

Showing concern with the current roster, isn't an argument in favor of last year's.
