**DePaul vs. Iowa - 11/11/19 - 7pm - FS1**

[L. Wade Childress]

Well, I guess that settles it. Fran and a BYUesque roster is the most we can realistically hope for.

not what I am saying at all. I’m saying that new coach would have brought in a lot of the same kids.

 

[douglasbader]

People have lost their minds. We are talking about a program that averages 21 wins per season an consistently finishes in the top half of the conference as if it were the worst team in the Big Ten and can't compete against anyone.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Chris Jans, Craig Smith, or Ben McCollum show up at Iowa tomorrow. You don’t think they would recruit and sign:

2016 local Rivals150 3* with offers from Creighton, UNI, and Wichita as a HS freshman

2016 Rivals 3* Iowa Mr Basketball

2017 Rivals150 4* DC POY big man with offers from most everywhere

2017 Rivals150 4* Iowa Mr Basketball/Gatorade POY runner up combo guard

2018 Rivals Top 50 4* Two time Iowa POY

2018 Rivals 3* Kentucky POY with offers from Xavier, Cincy, others who will accept a 4 for 5

2018 Rivals150 3* Indiana Runner Up Mr Basketball

2019 Rivals Top 100 4* Mr Basketball runner up

I would argue that he would possibly, or even likely, not recruit bohannon or Nunge but I would bet everyone else is on the roster.

And fuck you for making me sound like Kilroy!!!!

If anyone has some time on their hands I recommend a visit to the DME web site, we may have been really fortunate re signing the Murray twins.

fwiw clemson was high on nunge's potential and wanted him for a visit to close on their offer.

Not sure we have the same understanding of the word fortunate.

 

[J1973s]

Really hoping to be RATT.

 

[Berzerkenpas]

Really hoping to be RATT.

if nothing else, they may get some good life advice from what appears to be their 30-year-old pg from ohio.

 

[J1973s]

He may be Granville Waiters grandson.

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

Depaul has a lot of talent and shot out of their minds early. A couple of good Iowa teams lost unbelievable games early in the year (Augustana and Campbell). Hawks will be fine.

why, are they a package deal with a 5* PG?

Link? My search did not fulfill the expectations you just dropped on me.

Man, I wish the state of Iowa produced fewer D1 players so our team wasn’t so white!!!

Nope, a different coach would have recruited the exact same players...not any of the hundreds of other players with the same or better credentials with a different skill package resulting in a different roster makeup and strengths.

 

[eclone]

Somehow, Dr Tom was able to avoid signing Iowa Mr Basketballs like Adam Spanich, Justin Wessel, David Newman, and Eric Pothoven despite them being what would have been 3* or even fringe 4* recruits with other D1 offers.

 

[Berzerkenpas]

spanich was top 100

wesell went to arizona

as hs seniors, they would have been good gets, and davis recruited them both

this comment would make sense if Fran offered Mike Jacobson, Brady Ernst, Luke McDonnell, or David DiLeo.

 

[Grandma]

I'm 35 and I've never watched an Iowa team win a conference title, we've gone 3 coaches without a Sweet 16, there is no such thing as a huge risk when it comes to Iowa basketball.

This is bullshit. Iowa won the 1996-1997 Big Ten Championship and it's about time that we and everyone else start recognizing it.

Hang the banner, Barta.

They won that title with the help of Big Ten Player of the Year Andre Woolridge.

 

[Fletch]

They won that title with the help of Big Ten Player of the Year Andre Woolridge.

How he didn’t win it was a crime. Only player to lead league in scoring and assists. That Iowa team was terrible and he damn near took them to the sweet 16.

First Big Ten player to lead the conference in those categories since Magic fuckin Johnson.

 

[6deuce]

It’s too bad he couldn’t go left.

 

[Herbie2]

Magic Johnson never even led MSU in scoring.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Magic Johnson never even led MSU in scoring.

I’m guessing the other players were embellishing their sexual encounters.

 

[Fletch]

Nope. Magic never did it. Woolridge was the first, and I think, still the only.

 

[CamelTones]

Thanks to you guys I fell down an old Iowa basketball rabbit hole. Forgot about the 17 point comeback against George Washington and Shawta Rodgers. This guy has a ton of old full Iowa games on YouTube.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I specifically remember a settles baseline 3 in that game.

 

[CamelTones]

I specifically remember a settles baseline 3 in that game.

GW missed a lot of free throws. Iowa got a friendly whistle. Settled hit the only 3 of the comeback. Teams backed off everyone daring guys to shoot.

 

[KitKatApples]

My god the rebounding

 

[ISUFan98]

Nope. Magic never did it. Woolridge was the first, and I think, still the only.

I thought I had remembered them saying Magic did it back then. Maybe it was a Mandela effect thing.

 

[ISUFan98]

They showed a graphic where GW was 6-17 from the line at one point. Yikes.

 

[Uli Kunkel]

Ugh, the olden days when only one channel carried the games and they'd constantly leave yours.

 

[Silky Johnson]

That’s the first Iowa game I remember watching. Suck one Alexander Kuhl.

 

[kenos]

Always thought Koch was frail in those days. He'd have tougher than most of Fran's forwards the last few years.

Settles and Millard and Bowen. Good God, give us rebounders like that again.
