Here is my prediction, obvious the first one is too easy.
Transfers:definite
Nunge
Toussaint
Probable transfers
Ulis
Perkins
Absolutely not returning
Weiskamp
Jbo
Garza
The players do not live in a vacuum. They like us know that this was one of Iowa's most talented teams and fell short. If we had developed some of the younger players throughout the year rather than rely on injured players, I think we would have gone much farther. If I am JT, Ulis and Perkins sitting on the bench watching as injured players play subpar and watch us loose particularly with the coach's injured son stealing my playing time, I would be looking to transfer. Obviously Conner and Patrick are going to stay. CJ will stay he is a great player but has had foot issues two years in a row , I am concerned about his durability. Murray will stay as it is too ideal having his brother in the same program. Josh is an unknown. It doesn't seem he was using this valuable time to get in shape. That says something, on the surface he doesn't seem to have the drive that is present in Luka. JBO was definitely not himself this year he never returned to the level he was playing at before the surgery. I would be surprised if he came back . Weiskamp to me will go pro. Also another interesting aside during Luka's post game interview after Oregon he talked about the future. he did say something like " coach Mccaffery is the coach to take Iowa to the next level in the tournament. In my mind that makes me wonder if the players are questioning that very thought in their own minds. We speak what we are thinking about. I guarantee that there is not a player on Gonzaga or a student at that school who ever has the thought is Mark few the coach that can take us deep in the tournament. If Gonzaga looses next year in the first round nobody will question Mark Few's abilities. All this is speculation, maybe Fran is the best coach in the country but just has not been able to get the right player mix at the right time i do not know that as I am just a fan. What do you peeps think. How would we have done this year with the same players and Mark Few as our coach?
