Possibly because what lightning said about his son or possibly because he couldn't find one interested in Iowa. I'm not arguing that he is a great recruiter who will always find good players with every scholarship. I'm arguing he has equal recruiting ability at every position (which may not be that good). Sometimes ability pays off and sometimes it doesn't. With Cook it finally paid off. With Ulis and Moore it didn't.
1 turnover, 0 points and 4 fouls from our starting PG

I think he recruits the PG position worse than every other position, you don't. Maybe one of these days you'll agree with me, I mean I was right and you were wrong about the PG position this year

Fran loves the 6'5" swingman...it's 80% of what he recruits.
If he continues to go out and find all conference players at the other positions and can't come close at pg, I'll agree with you. Until then, I'm going to assume he got Marble because he was a legacy, White because no one wanted him, Uthoff because he was a Hawk fan who wanted to come home, and Jok because of an injury.
Maybe I'll end up being on it just like I was with Mike and CW
And it makes no sense and some people celebrate it like it's a good thing.
It's funny how 5656 thinks I'm arguing that Fran is good at recruiting point guard when I'm actually arguing there is no evidence yet that Fran is good at recruiting other positions when he doesn't have an "in". What's he going to do during years where Iowa talent is down or he doesn't have a legacy that is a future 1st team all conference player.
These players are young so the verdict isn't in yet, but if all these players end up sucking, we can forget about fran not being able to recruit point guard because it will mean Fran can't recruit period. I don't think we have to worry about that, but it's a definite possibility.
