Clearly you don't expect ISU to win this game but care to wager a prediction? To your Super Bowl comments: Serious question, you state that there is more importance to this game being that it is a rivalry game and all but does ISU even have another rivalry game? I know they used to somewhat...

I am still of the belief that the staff may have asked him to move on and his final decommitment from Iowa was not 100% his choice. I'm not sure exactly what the straw was that broke the camel's back (perhaps wanting to camp at Illinois or his spat with AJ and Eno) but I think KF was growing...

I'm not a fan of the deal either but Stropy is much better suited as a set-up man than a closer. He hasn't been good lately and I don't necessarily trust him in a high pressure 1 run game. My biggest gripe with the trade is the fact that they gave up their top prospect for a 3 month rental. I...

I also wish nothing but the best for the kid but I have a feeling the ship has sailed for him ever ending up in an Iowa uniform. I get that it's a tough decision and kids change their minds every day but they still need to honor their commitment to an extent. I can understand waivering once or...

These are all big questions for Niang, particularly the effort thing. Defense and rebounding are all about effort and those are things that he really struggles with. It will be interesting to see what happens with him. I'd like to see him stick on the roster but I have a feeling he is...

He lives in a very black and white world. He doesn't really understand how Iowa could've offered more than one guy at a time for a single scholly. Fran basically took the top 500 HS kids in the nation and went down the list asking if they had any interest in being a Hawkeye. Once he got down...

Kevin Kasper and Sean Considine come to mind for me.

That doesn't mean that he completely ignores the position altogether. God you are dense.

Fran has even said himself that he doesn't necessarily focus on the PG position. He prefers a bigger guard or even a point-forward position (something you would think ISU fans could understand). There really isn't any way to determine how hard Iowa went after those kids they offered. At least...

I may have lower expectations but I have realistic ones. I absolutely would have loved for Iowa to land one of the 6 recruits that were ranked higher than Bohannon but there's no shame in missing out on them given the teams they committed to. Are there other kids in the country that were...

Different competition. He played up in the NW part of the state where there are very few big schools. Gatens and Bohannon played at the same level in the same conference.

The person I quoted, genius. We've been over the Jackson commit over and over. You can take ISU off the list. The kids that committed to PSU and Oregon stayed in their home state and turned down schools with a much better pedigree than Iowa. The others are very good basketball programs. As...

FYI Jordan Bohannon averaged more PPG his senior year than Matt Gatens. Same competition.

So you think that Iowa should be regularly beating Kansas, Nova and MSU regularly on the recruiting trail? There are several schools out there with a lot more sustained success than Iowa out there who can't even do that. Also, that's a far cry from what Marshall is doing at Wichita State. He...

You're right, he didn't get beat by them on the recruiting trail but they were beat along with Fran so it's not to say that Fran should have easily been able to pull in some of these recruits. I disagree that you are the only objective one on here because you are calling Bohannon a...

So you are saying that Fran failed because he wasn't able to beat these guys out for Pritchard. Got it. Listen, I think Iowa needed a better player than Seth Gourney a few years back but sometimes it's just not in the cards. I'd love for Iowa to be able to out recruit MSU, Nova or Kansas...

Hahahahahahahaha! This kid cracks me up.

All 3 of them offered Pritchard. Do you really think Fran should have beaten all of those guys out (including Altman in his home state) just because he can sell playing time? As I already stated earlier, sometimes kids don't look at playing time as the end all be all when it comes to choosing...

This whole post is way off. There are 12 pages of posts (I'm guessing you didn't take the time to read) and nobody said he was better than Moore or Simpson. What your boy 5656 did say though is that Iowa should be able to pull in any of those blue chips out of their home state or from a blue...

That doesn't surprise me. I'll take a halfway decent HS recruit coming out of a much improved senior season over a halfway decent JUCO recruit with only 2 years left to play. I think the potential upside is much higher with the HS kid.
