Here’s an idea, don’t collapse at the end of seasons and end up playing a top seed. ‍ Also, fucking recruit athletes! Holy hell, that is a huge difference. Cook, Dailey, and Moss leaving would be fine. Bring in some damn transfers with athleticism.

My understanding is Iowa State would have never lost a game ever if it weren’t for the refs! Have they ever admitted they played poorly and were outplayed as reason for a loss? I’ve never seen it. The biggest local media ISU fans are even douches about refs.

Iowa State was to roll right into the Sweet 16 in Kansas City and into the Elite 8 per their fans and central Iowa media. Most predicted a blow out. Considering the NBA talent on ISU’s team, winning the Big 12 (in a down year), and being a 6 seed this would be a gigantic failure. If they don’t...

J-BO!

Or Weiskamp!! Goodness! He is not your average Joe

Damn tough comeback from the Hawks here. Got to close it out now! Bohannan gonna come up clutch. Would be disappointing if they lose given how they've been this half.

"Business trip" they were quoted on camera here in central Iowa news.

I am hoping for mass transfers. And Fran goes after experienced athletic guards.

Bryce Drew got let go at Vandy. He recruited an NBA lotto pick who got injured this year. I'd take him.

Oh look, the 10 seeds today “upset” the 7 seeds. And relatively easy too. Be nice if Iowa followed suit was well but it wouldn’t be Iowa without them drawing the toughest underseeded 10 seed time most likely. Cause Iowa can’t have nice things of course.

Murray State has a lotto pick in Ja Morant. Murray State. Fran can’t get a single guard. This is the most baffling and frustrating thing with Fran. How these mid-majors have better talent than Iowa.

Now Nebraska has a better head coach than Iowa. But "If you fire Fran, who is Iowa going to get better?" I don't know but Nebraska doesn't think that way obviously.

https://www.weareiowa.com/news/local-news/west-des-moines-man-killed-in-tuesday-morning-crash-on-i-80/1860611111 This sucks. Wolfgang was a huge Iowa basketball fan and often contributed on HN with podcasts and articles. The guy was a great interaction on Twitter as well. Always friendly and...

I’d say Iowa has a poorly viewed reputation and perception that people outside of Iowa poorly think of them. I’m sure Fran’s behavior plays a small part as well.

Exactly Rob. Instead of using it on a fallback, fallback project recruit like Dailey who will never pan out.

Ugh. But Iowa does themselves no favors with their end of the year collapses. The committee takes that into consideration. If Iowa would actually win in February they would avoid these situations. You reap what you sow.

Lunardi knows more than us, I’m going with him. Cincy wins big, 74-53

I would assume their will be transfers. It’s really frustrating that Fran doesn’t go after transfers however. Instead he gets inexperienced projects as opposed to a experienced impact guy. Think that has really hurt some of his opportunities at wins and his “win now” mentality.

Good post Rob! Completely agree. I can’t help but think that given the in-state rivals post season success over the period of 9 years does not help Fran’s cause either. They’ve even had a coaching change too.

Exactly. Not like have to cheat to recruit either. Iowa State has a lot of success utilizing transfer market. Something Fran despises. He’d rather develop projects like Christian Williams, CJ Frederick, Maishe Dailey, etc. over going after someone like Mariayl Shayok, Royce White, etc. It’s been...
