Owen Freeman OUT for remainder of the season!!!!

[Westernhawk]

Well, at least the woman’s team was brilliant yesterday. We got that anyway. I am not ready to rule out the NIT for the men just yet, although rooting for an NIT bid is a bit depressing on the best of days.

Based on the women's current team with the freshmen, the incoming recruits, and the potential to be a legit player long term, one could argue Iowa's NIL money should all go to WBB. They are the only ones (except maybe rasslin) that have a chance at a National Championship.

There is a thread about it in site feedback so they know about it. It's been a couple weeks tho so not sure what's up.

Not a big social media person, so take it FWIW. Lot of rumors floating out there about Freeman and the men’s basketball program in general. Hard to get a grasp on what to think.

Fran says "relatively recently"? That's all you can say about when the finger injury happened? against who? how?

Some random thoughts. TRJ: what rumors? Don’t post crap like that. Thank you.

AJ 87: Finger Injury: Surgical repair. Unless you are a surgeon, how about not claiming that this should not keep Owen from playing this season. And, Owen decides what will be released on his injury. None of our business.

Idea that Owen might leave: Nope. Only 2 years of eligibility with a starting position guaranteed at Iowa. Transfer risky. Has some limitations. Is he physically a 5 in someone else’s’ system? Not ready to play 3 or 4 by a long shot. So no flexibility.

And, Owen and Brock are close.

Next, Iowa’s incoming class is getting some serious positive attention. Josh will finish his senior year at Iowa. Pryce is going nowhere. Duh. Coop will return if health allows. Tadjo: He will return. So will Traori. Neither one is remotely in Fran’s doghouse. (Tadjo was injured, so don’t make shit up.) Those two guys look to me like a change in Fran’s book, as do the newcomers. Defense/rebounding/physical.

And, Fran will not leave, just yet. I think he has begun the rebuild for 2025-26 and beyond.

Last shot: What if Fran leaves and the plan already in place is to hand the head job to Eldridge, keep Dillard and Gatens, and consider the other “coaches” on staff who are not officially coaches? Some interesting guys. That would be fun, and maybe really smart. After all, many HN posters are wary of going out on the market…for good reason.

Didn’t post anything specific just stated that there are a lot of rumors…WHICH THERE ARE.

Are these kids banking on back up careers as concert pianists? When I broke an index finger as a sophomore, my coach taped it to my middle finger and I played the 2nd half.

confirm your sources or don't post "rumors" your credibility is 0. All caps mean nothing

Read the facts or be quiet

Don’t wag your finger at me, man. I didn’t post anything specific so I don’t need to confirm anything. We are all grownups here and can choose what to believe and what not to believe.

This website has been a cancer for a while now. It crashes my mobile browser more often than not. I'm starting to wonder why I even try to use it anymore.
