Not really that ironic, because Basketball is a quite different sport than
Football. So, if you're thinking about an idea, perhaps gather a lot of info, too.
Keeping it Real, right here in REALville
You bring up a good point. Which is that Fran is not very good at evaluating talent, if all of the Iowa kids he recruited were the wrong Iowa kids.
Next year's class is troubling in that it doesn't address our immediate areas of need. We landed 4 wing players. We need Centers (especially if they are going to take 2 or 3 years to develop) and Power forwards. I'm assuming Fran thinks 1 or 2 of those wings could play the point, ala Marble.He was in early on Ulis... I'd say he evaluated that one pretty well. Uhl seems like like he has a high ceiling.
I guess I'm at the point where next years recruiting class will tell me what I need to know. If at least a couple I those guys
aren't logging some minutes next year, I'll be concerned as we need better talent and I think we should be able to see that fairly early in this class as to whether or not we got it.
He also thinks that if Tuttle were wearing black/gold he would save the Hawks (even though Iowa's problem is the Gs) and if UNI were wearing black/gold then the Hawks would be contending for a B1G Title.Man, you're a buzzkill.
Yep if Fran had brought in Lohaus, Morgan and Bohanon fans would be ****** because Fran was just getting mid major players. If Fran offered a no star guy like Tuttle from some real small town in Iowa people would be ******. The moral of this story is that most fans are stupid.
You may just be on to something. Gabe is the one who has improved his game IMO.Well, is it possible Fran isn't developing his players (especially the Iowa kids) as well as Jacobsen?

It's more likely that our Iowa kids are playing in the Big while Ben's Iowa kids are playing in the Valley.....
