Minus the very early tenure of both coaches, they obviously inherited very different rosters, they are pretty similar.
Fran after his first season is basically Davis' 1990's in terms of win percentage, conference record and NCAA appearances. It's either your selective memory or those good wins were offset by other losses.
They need some milk
They just get pushed off their spots so easily.
I'm hoping Garza and Kriener add more strength/agility in the off-season and continue to improve. It sounds like Nunge has used the redshirt year to do that and Weiskamp is a pretty good rebounder in his own right, and he's only a freshman. I do agree we need a serious infusion of athleticism or toughness out there.
And yet he keeps leaving his feet on every pump fake and head fake he encounters right now.
I agree Fran has alot of faults especially with in game coaching that aren't changing but I'm a believer that a decent PG covers alot of that up.
He is what he is.
It almost makes you wonder if he inquired about getting the radio job when Dolph was suspended the first time.
Dr Tom made the NCAA tournament 9 out of 12 years. Fran is 3 for 8. So, no, he isn’t Tom Davis.
He earned an unfollow.
A month or so ago he looked like he was developing into one of the best, and now he's gone completely to shit.
He certainly isn't NBA material. He just isn't.
Dr Tom inherited a roster full of future NBA players. Not so much for Fran.
And they were gone by his second season. He then made the tournament, and had Sweet Sixteen runs, in seven other years at the helm.
I agree with your point but he had two first rounders for his first three years in BJ and Marble.
First of all, he was here 13 years. He made it 9 years out of 13.
What in the fuck are you talking about? His 3rd season he had Marble, Horton and Armstrong. He made the Sweet 16 with them in his second year. Didn't make it with them his 3rd year. Didn't make it until 10 years later in his final season.
Actually 6 for 10 after his first 3 seasons.
This has to be a joke

The thing is that Fran's starting to get above average talent finally to Iowa. Toussaint/McCaffery x2/Weiskamp/Cook/Garza are all four star players in the past 3 to 4 years. 5 out of the 7 commits are four star guys.
He looks like the Hulk compared to his brother
I don't think Connor is above average talent by Big 10 standards.
It's a fair point. Unfortunately our strongest player and two most athletic players were horrendous also. They had a really nice season going through 27 games and 16 Big Ten games. They didn't just get weaker or less athletic. They're a mess offensively lately, not hitting any open shots and defensive intensity/awareness has been inconsistent at best even when accounting for athleticism. The defense certainly wasn't the problem tonight.
This is his 1st year of actually playing. If he's still junk in the next 2 years, I'll agree with you.
he will be 21 in a couple months. He can't beat anyone off the dribble, shoot from the outside and is below average athletically. My hope is he kills it in baseball and is a high draft choice next year.
