Are you talking about madness, which is short for March Madness? I've got more of the July Madness right now.

Or overestimating the hype of another mid-major coach.

Good point. Probably a last minute JUCO signing of a diamond in the rough. It'll be a like a bad movie.

Well get ready for a major loss when Bryce graduates this year with a first year player coming in to replace him.

You couldn't have said it better. What happened to McCaffrey's ties out east? Shoot, I go over on CF and all I read about is Fred killing it on the east coast. Why can't Fran do the same? The same personal agenda could be said for Fran making no effort at all to keep a serviceable point...

Might want to check your math on that one.

Yes it's all bad. There already was an open scholarship that Fran tried to hand out and couldn't find any takers. The starting 5 now includes 4 returners from a 20 loss team and a worse center. This reflects terribly on the program and another bad season does nothing to help recruiting.

What do you honestly think "forced to leave" means?

Beginning to sound like it was grades. Though if you don't want to believe that, him leaving on his own accord makes it an even more impressive story.

Sounds like the decision to leave was not his own, so really how much worse could this look for Iowa basketball? A convicted felon is given a scholarship, paraded around on a redemption tour, and then forced out out the door before he even puts on an Iowa uniform. I supposed compared to...

Tough to say there's no commit. Fran's such a gamer that it wouldn't surprise me to see him ink a very serviceable point guard in July or even as late as August. He's got such an ability to identify under-the-radar talent.

Anyone heard a timeline for this decision?

This was funny before they signed two we showed serious interest in.

Georges Niang had a Hawkeye offer and Percy Gibson was getting looks from the staff I believe.

So we could be sitting on two open scholarships instead of one? It's not like we were turning away talent because he's here.

Only other two schools to offer are Drake and Ohio? Color me unimpressed both with this offer and Fran's recruiting so far.

Just going by what you said originally. And it seemed people gave more than two sh*ts when the low-income housing story broke, but don't let me make your whole argument for you.

You have been to a Hawkeye football game haven't you?

Really? You're that quick to forget Tom Davis who went to the tournament 9 out of 13 years? Fran has yet to post a record at Iowa better than 11-20 and while he has shown an ability to evaluate, find, and sign under-the-radar talent, he still hasn't come close to sniffing the elite type...

Why haven't you told the coaches!?
