The reason for the contract extension is that's what the athletic director at Iowa does. His contract was extended before the season was really under way.
My thoughts.
If Carton or Foster don’t commit to Iowa or elsewhere prior to the end of this year why would it matter? Fran was already signed for several years. For instance if Carton signs with Wisconsin is it because Gard is on a long term contract (I have no idea if he is, but think he’s going to be on the hot seat next year), or is it just because he wants to go to Wisconsin? Would Carton not commit to Iowa until they gave him this extension? I think Fran was already signed through 2022 anyways so that doesn’t even make sense.
Also Pmac hasn’t proven to be an asset in recruiting. Until he does that’s just speculation just like anything else.
To me that's the unexplainable part. They've yet to address it and probably won't. The rest they can at least 'justify' with their rationale of wanting to keep him. But the lack of transparency and then tryin to claim that they were is just peeing on us and telling us it's rainingAnd to be honest, I'm not nearly as offended by the extension as I am the buy out and the fact they didn't release the info. But, that's been beat to death - it's not good. But what if the above happened?
Is DJ Carton really going to say, you know what I don’t think I’m going to go to the school I like because their coach is only signed through my junior year?Honest question - how does being signed until 22 help with 19 and 20 recruits now? And having a kid that is ranked as high as Pat already committed and getting selected for the USA dealie certainly won't HURT recruiting right?

I've seen multiple interviews with him and he has never indicated that he is considering Iowa.
I stand by my comment, and I had read it before. There is little to be optimistic about in his comments, especially the; 'keeping my options open part'. As in "thanks for the dance, I find you interesting, but I'm really looking for my dream date."

What ifs and wait n see----- is all we have when it comes to Iowa basketball.Couple pretty big ifs there... I can't sit here as optimistic of a Hawk fan as I am and say I think Carton is goin to be a Hawk. Let alone that Foster kid too. I know the what if game is kinda what we talk about on here all day & night but I have a tough time thinking that that's where all the eggs are in regards to that contract being extended.
I see you must be a Franny kool-aid drinker, are you Barta's attorney?Maybe that's because you're a d-bag troll?
