1. Fuller was set on leaving prior to Fran trying to win him over, it was an uphill battle. 2. How many seniors to be transfer? Not many because they only have one year left and not many programs like putting a player on scholarship for two years so they can get one out of him. Key...

So you don't think that returning 7 seniors (your top 7 players) and 9 of your top 10 from a 17 win team is vastly different than what Fran is inheriting. How can Fran do the same thing with the right assistants and players? Long-term it's fine to make the comparison but for next year it's...

Let's not because it's a terrible comparison. St. John's was 2 games better in conference and 7 games better overall. But much more importantly, St. John's started 5 juniors this year and their top 2 reserves were juniors. That means Lavin inherits a situation where his top 7 all return (9...

It's just so nit-picky. Anyone with any understanding of college basketball should know that 90% of the time, the de-commit doesn't end up with the new coach after opening things up. It's basically just a statement to show that things ended amicably and there are no hard feelings, and...

What? You just answered it with your first sentence.

Every thread I open I see CAARHawk getting crazier and crazier. I think "wow he's really overreacting and freaking out here" and then I open the next thread and his last post is even more knee-jerk. Step away from the computer, take a break and see how things play out.

? He's right. It happens virtually every time there's a coaching change. If you thought all of the recruits and current players would stay you were setting yourself up for disappointment. If you thought only the bottom of the rotation guys would leave, you were just being hopeful. Of...

People really need to get over this hand wringing about next year. We weren't going to be good next year regardless. The ceiling was likely 18 wins if everything broke perfectly. Of course I wish Fuller and Larson were staying, but this gives Fran a chance to find the guys he wants right away...

Brommer to Long Beach has been out there for a while. Dan Monson is out there now and he offered Brommer while at Minnesota. It would be a good fit for him. I can't see Fuller leaving here to go to Long Beach but if he's really good friends with Brommer and wants to go to Cali I guess it's...

You serious? Yes Wainwright beat powerhouses like Columbia, St. Joe's, Detroit, Alabama State, Texas State and UIC. He did get a win over UNI but Webster got a win over Marquette. Webster isn't to blame for anything related to DePaul last year. And no Wainwright never recruited Chicago well...

He didn't go to DePaul until last summer so the roster had nothing to do with him. He was at Purdue, Kentucky and Illinois before that.

He would be outstanding but it sounded yesterday like Purnell was hoping to keep him and Webster wants to stay.

Yep, they've got 1 first-rounder and probably 3 guys who will play in the NBA at some point. They've been a top 25 program for 5 years and they'll be a top 5 team preseason next year. That said, they're still definitely underdogs tomorrow night.

This is one of the stranger rants I've ever heard. It's not "fouling to win" nor is it a loophole. It's been happening for years and analysts/coaches have been saying teams should do it more often for the last 15+ years. They earned the lead, they earned the right to defend it however...

I think that's an overreaction. I think he'll end up bringing someone in but if he doesn't use it it could very well mean that he knows we look limited for scholarships next year and would rather save it.

Re: Horner, Recker, Gamble, Settles, Bowen candidates for assistant job; All Players Horner would be a great GA. If Rodell isn't interested I think Gamble would be the obvious top choice.

After reading his posts I've yet to figure out how he got the label he has around here. The tweets about how overrated Scheyer and Singler are just cement that as if comparing Tucker to Arenas didn't. I like how he said the fact that Iowa fans had to google McCaffery was an example of how bad...

My guess is that everyone in the country outside of delusional Iowa fans knew there was no reason for those guys to come to Iowa. They were right.

1977, please look at the records of the teams he inherited prior to him taking over. Also, Seton Hall and St. John's were apparently very interested in hiring him this year.

Translation= "I said he would be exactly the same as Lick even though they have very different backgrounds, coaching history and evidence of recruiting abilities. I'm completely opposed to all mid-major coaches even though the vast majority of top head coaches in the tournament came to their...
