If the Hawks don't sign Coco, which imo is a no brainerfor next season, I don't see them signing anyone else for 2010. as there no quality players out there that are all that interested in coming to Iowa.

Strange he would visit when supposedly Fran was not around today....gone for Big 10 mtgs?

Agree on Sir Jamalot but don't forget the Hawk....Connie Hawkins. He was a very high flyer also.

I believe John Streif is DBO for the Hawkeyes. There was a lot of talk about reassigning John so that Fran would have another position he could fill. Haven't seen anything more lately on this....has anyone else?

Reminds me of Fry and his "scratch where it itches" theory. Do whatever it takes to get the job done and leave no corners unturned. I love it!!!!

What about the DBO position? Great to have Ryan on board.

Having Dre on the team and playing some might also help energize the students to come to the games to support him and the team.

Imo Penn State and Rutgers will be in the Ford and Wisky and Minny in the Motorola. It makes no sense to do otherwise as the travel distance for those teams increases dramatically to do otherwise.

Neari leaving sure has an impact tho, if Fran doesn't get another guard for next fall, imo. It will be one less guard on the team for next season and we don't know how good Neari would have been, given a chance, versus all the other non-ball handlers that are on the team. It very well could end...

Also, what gives the faculty reps the authority to ignore the stated intent of a Big 10 rule and effectively override and rewrite the rule. And where does this stop? Apparently they can change any Big 10 rule brought before them with impunity.

Lute was at Iowa longer than Ralph........both were great coaches. The top 3 are in a class by themselves in Iowa bball history, imo. Who was coach when Murray Weir played?

1. Bucky O'Connor 2. Lute 3. Ralph Miller 4. Mr. Davis

I surely hope Fran has moved on and is not wasing anymore of his precious time on him. And there is absolutely no basis for the faculty reps to overrule the Big 10 rule in this situation. This case is an exactl example of why the rule was implemented and if it needs changing, then do it thru the...

I'm with you 100% Thawki.......hopefully the 3rd coach is a dynamite recruiter with very strong connections to basketball hotbeds.

I agree with Hawkincal........or Thomas out of Detroit Mercy. Fran should look to give the Illini and anyone else a run for their money in Chicago or anywhere else with the guys he has on staff.......recruiting will determine how successful he will be at Iowa and ex-Hawkeyes, other than Rodell...
