I've always been a Fran supporter, but 20 losses this year is a real possibility. That just shouldn't ever happen.

It's very early.. but this year is shouldn't be this bad.
People all around, coaches to players are failing at their jobs.

Complete whiffs in the all important 14 and 15 classes along with not valuing the basic fundamentals that can carry over regardless of talent level(defensive positioning, blocking out,etc...)

He recruits better than he coaches defense.
He's coached defense well in the past, we just really lack talented players
His future recruiting seems to be better at least.
Good but not great. Much better than the last few years though

Seems like every thread that's started lately is negative. Is there anything good going on in Hawkeye land?
Maybe the bowl game will be entertaining (albeit meaningless)?
Yeah, that's pretty much it until August. Iowa sports is pretty dire.
Cook is top 100, Garza and Nunge are high ranked too. That's 3 pretty good out of state recruits in the last 2 classes. Add in the in state recruits and his recruiting looks good enough to compete for titles. Who knows about the other aspects of his coaching right now. I know last year Ohio State was in our position as far as young roster and they looked about just as bad as wee do. Having two upperclassmen is extremely abnormal.
We had one top 100 recruit in 2014, 2015 and 2016 correct?
Because it has been. Cook, Pemsl, Bohannon, Garza, Nunge, Connor, Partrick, and Weiscamp all seem like players you can put a good team together with.

We've lost Cook who is worth 15-20 points a night. The freshman class is solid with Cook, Pemsl and Bohannen. I think they should be playing Kreiner and Dailey much more to see what we've got and we need a big man in the worst way (Kreiner).
The sophomore class is a bust so far with the best 2 players at the moment being Baer (former walk-on) and Moss. I like what Moss is doing but Fran keeps pulling him for freaking Ellingson who is not good enough.
I'd stop messing around with playing Ellingson, Uhl, Wagner & Williams and play Jok, all the freshman along with Moss & Baer. Cut those other guys loose at semester or end of year.

Correct. But it was in his last class. I would be more concerned if he hadn't had one in 3 years.
