Lol thinking Fran is going to keep coaching at Iowa after his older sons are done and younger son is off playing basketball somewhere else.

Lol thinking Fran is going to keep coaching at Iowa after his older sons are done and younger son is off playing basketball somewhere else.

I'd be surprised if Fran sticks around after this year.

The new coach better be able to play the portal and inspire shit tons of NIL money, or Iowa basketball will nose dive.

The new coach should recruit a different type of player

that's gonna take dinero, compadre.

pre-NIL, Fran went after lots of explosive kids and couldn't land them (except for Tyler Cook) for reasons that were most likely due to program culture and perhaps money. Post-NIL, Fran doesn't have the pockets, even if the kid might buy into his program culture.

The next coach needs to be the kind of guy Iowa would have passed on twenty or thirty years ago.

I don't fully agree. Watching the NCAA/conference tournaments every year there are loads of teams from all of the country full of athletic kids who play hard and tough.

The latter is coaching, and Fran just doesn't do hard and tough.

He does go after lots of athletic kids, though.

At any rate, his time is most likely up. Next.

 

[hawkeyealum]

fair point

 

[MikeyJoe]

Where is this coming from? Sure Fran's recruiting is underwhelming but Jack looks to be light-years better than his brothers.

if I had to guess, it would probably be from you being a huge bitch about everything constantly.

 

[Squat Cobbler]

You could say Jack is performing his unique version of a hit and run.

Is this Jack getting punched in the mouth?

Slapped, maybe.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

I'm sure he did nothing to bring that on

Fuck off. That's a bitch move.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

It was me, I was the kid that slapped him

Those Instagram comments, woof

 

[KitKatApples]

Total bitch move

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Cheap, but for a punch that was pretty pedestrian. You would think dudes would know by now not to cross Jack McCaffery.

 

[KitKatApples]

Oh shit

 

[rodg12]

That's Jake Sullivan's kid wearing #1.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

That was a good old fashioned finger whip.

In an upset, his link says he attends Roosevelt. I would have guessed GrandView Christian.

 

[kenos]

too bulky for fran

If he’s actually good his days at Roosevelt are numbered. Especially if John Lamb is involved.

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

He dribbles like a girl.

So are 8 other guys who also won't come to Iowa

that’s good because there’s only one HM player there.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Well when you put it that way, maybe one will end up at Iowa.

Goddammit

 

[eclone]

now that looks like a Fran recruit that will end up averaging 18 ppg his junior year and test the nba process.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

"Ryder Frost" sounds like he was created in a lab to play for Fran.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

He's a goofy looking fucker, but he's more physically developed as a high school junior than Patrick as a college super senior.

Middle Sex Magic

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Would this be Frans first non-binary player?

Patrick.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Middle Sex Magic

I believe that’s the name of an RHCP album.

[Dr. Zaius]

Upper Iowa?

 

[HerkyHopeful]

A couple of these schools don't fit the list.

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

Lol

 

[cloudhawk]

Bring him home Fran!

 

[Wanderer]

Must have seen the work and success Frank Garza had in developing Luka Garza.

That's pretty retarded.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Sounds like a bond girl

Looks like Frans kid bleached his hair lol

 

[L. Wade Childress]

A lot of high level club teams let a 36 ppg scorer leave mid season.
