Fran's teams could often play good d for stretches though, which makes me thinks it was a "want to" issue.

NW or NU offering a million? No one has a problem getting into NU academically. BTW, NU was worse that Iowa last year. I think McCollum will soon get a reputation for developing players.

She started the year injured so probably not in as good of condition as she would have been. Add to that most frosh hit a wall their first season with the demands of travel and improved competition.

Are contributions to NIL tax deductible? I'd assume not, but for rich folk they usually are.

I can't believe Midgets is still around.

Former Orab here, living in Michigan since late 2000.

I've read that the new coach is a great developer of point guards, however, he likes to play his PG nearly all 40 minutes. At best, Brock would get one year of playing time at PG under McCollum.

Please no

and Lickliter was coach of the year or something like that. At least Mc Collum has had success at more than one place. Hope he can get some guys to stay home.

Except Caitlin works in Indianapolis, and Des Moines blows.

So, you're a glass half-full guy. :)

I wonder how many are just keeping their options open and are willing to stay/come back? It'd be crazy if Fran got another job and they all went with him.

Is he unwilling to be a hype man or is the university just bad at marketing? He has a role in promoting the program but there are a lot of people being paid to do only that, how are they doing?

If they can build some excitement early, maybe attendance at conference games would pick up, worth a try.

The schedule is an issue not talked about enough when considering fan indifference. Just by adding games with UNI and Drake, and maybe some teams above the mid-200s in ranking, would give the program a lift. The current formula is doing the team no favors performance or ranking wise. I do like...

P People post things with no truth to them all the time, even the president.

Fry I respect what you post for the most part but your civility is often lacking. I "heard people saying this" isn't exactly proof of anything. Certainly not proof enough to go around attacking people who don't agree with you.

This is another issue that seems to be taken for granted with no evidence I've seen, that Iowa has no money to sign players. They just signed a top 40 player from Florida with no ties to Iowa that I've seen. I can't believe he couldn't get paid if so many schools are throwing money around.

I keep hearing that players are defecting but see no indication other than message boards. From all appearances, Fran's players love him. He's recruiting well and the main concern seems to be about attendance. While Fran plays a role in that I don't see the University doing a lot to get people...

Compare that to the Michigan players who tried to interfere with the MSU seniors trying to kiss the floor at the end of their final game at Breslin.
