You are forgetting about Payton Pritchard, Xavier Simpson and Cassius Winston.
Also, please update me on all the statistics of the following 4* and 5* non PG we offered last year:
Rapolas Ivanauskas
TJ Leaf
Nick Ward
Barret Benson
Joey Brunk
Zach Collins
Derek Funderburk
Sedee Keita
Omari Spellman
Kyle Guy
Kevin Huerter
Matthew Moyer
Lamar Stevens
*NOTE: I have no idea if these kids even made it to the schools they committed to, but I assume since you like to know what all the kids do who Iowa doesn't land, I'm sure this will be quick for you to update us on their stats 56.
Winston has looked really good for Michigan State, not sure on Pritchard or Simpson. I'm guessing both those guys will blow up next year when the PG's ahead of them leave. They'd all be starting here though that's for sure

Want news on other players, need to know desperately how players that Fran failed to get to Iowa are doing. Please expand past PG's, this is very important.

Nevermind, I'll do your job. Looks like Zach Collins would be starting for us 14 PPG/6 RPG
TJ Leaf would probably start as well 20 PPG/10 RPG (who needs Cook when we could have had this guy!!!)
I've only been mentioning the PG position because that's what we whiffed on. We got Cook and he's a stud

Looks to me like we Whiffed on TJ Leaf, that dude is a stud, way better than Charlie Moore could ever dream of being.
I didn't know that Iowa didn't get all the top talent every year. I like the guys they do have. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out after they get some experience. I really didn't enjoy seeing Seton Hall score fifty points against Iowa on layups. They should be fun to watch this year.
TJ Leaf is a stud but our weak spot isn't in the post

If you think Charlie Moore would be better at Iowa than TJ Leaf, I'd have to say that I disagree.
I think our team would be better with Charlie Moore this year than TJ Leaf. I do agree Leaf is much better though but I'm just basing that on what we currently have and what we currently don't have.
Moore has 44 points through 2 games. Our starting PG has 11 points through 4 games.

Nice! I see what you did there. Hopefully others can catch on.

Then you don't know as much as you think you do about BB. A lineup of Cook, TJ and Williams/JoBo is 100000X >>>>>>>> than a lineup of Cook, Moore and Uhl/Pemsl/Kreiner
This year I'd rather have Moore, Jok, Baer, Cook and Uhl/Pemsl/Kriener than Williams/Bohannon, Jok, Baer, Cook and Leaf. Plus Leaf is a one and done and Moore would be back next year with Connor playing off the ball

I hate to keep this thread going but what about D'mitrik Trice at UW? He went to IMG academy last year and was fairly lightly recruited, although ended up getting some decent looks later in the year. It sounds like UW was having trouble finding a PG to replace Koenig and then finally found this kid. He's already broken into there rotation even though UW returned both their starter and backup from last year.
I don't think Iowa ever recruited this kid, but it just goes to show you it's not all about the kids that show up with Iowa offers on recruiting sites. Sometimes it's about locating the more under the radar talent, which is obviously one of Fran's strengths.
This kids was Ahmad Wagner's QB and PG in HS, so at least we woulda had a conversation starter.

Trice blew up late, even got an Ohio State offer and chose Wisconsin

That wasn't the option. I think I have MOORE than proven my point here. If you wanna keep updating us on Moore, I'll do the same with Leaf and we will see who has a better year.
Leaf never visited here, Moore did twice. We all talked about Ulis too because he was an actual possibility to come here. If you want to keep tabs on Leaf be my guest

While this whole thread seems to be a bunch of sour grapes, 56 has a point that Fran struggles to recuit top end point guards. He does a great job at recognizing talent before most other schools and gets in the mix early. However, he hasn't found that one player yet. It's unfortunate because PG IMO is the most important position on the court. Hopefully Fran grabs one or CW/JB develop into some players.
As far as Moore goes, once "outside" factors started getting into the mix, Fran jumped ship. And quite frankly, I agree with him
