Play in games don’t count? Sorry but they do and that’s 3 NCAA tournament appearances, not 2. What a stupid comment
Not a sweet 16 or better, just an appearance. See how your expectations have been lowered?Next year will be big for Fran. We all expected more this year but Fran has done enough in his tenure and recruiting seems ok enough that that I certainly can’t see a coaching change.
We know next year will be the same group of guys with the addition of Weiskamp. How much better can they get and how much of an impact can Joe make as a freshman.
If next year we aren’t dancing, I’ll be ready to question if Fran is the right guy.

So, we should only expect a decent season when we have upper classmen. Got it.Following year should definitely have sweet sixteen expectations.
JBo, Cook, Pemsl, Moss, Dailey, Wagner all Srs
Nunge, Garza, Connor juniors
Weiskamp as a soph

Which would be 9 of the last 12 seasons. 5 of 8 during Fran's tenure.That’s like me taking you comments and saying so every year we don’t make the tourney, we should switch coaches?? Got it.

I too consider Fran's tenure to be a success overall. The problem is, the program seems to be backsliding again. After losing a big senior class from two years ago, last year was supposed to be the rebuilding year, not this year. With nearly the whole team coming back from last year, minus Jok, and this year's team being decidedly worse than a year ago, is what concerns me.
Honest question: Did Fran just get kinda lucky with players like Marble (an inherited, legacy player), a fortuitous transfer from Uthoff (why did he leave a good Wisconsin program, anyway?) and did he catch lightning in a bottle with Aaron White? It's not often 2-3 star recruits become your number 2 all-time scorer in program history. Jok was a good player too, but unless there is a steady stream of hot recruits that end up flying under the radar due to injury, I don't count on us consistently landing that type of player.
Yes, those players and the results DO count. Not arguing that. Just seems Fran has had his share of luck with recruits.. But he's had his fair share of misses, too. Can he sustain the good fortune?

We finished 5th in the B1G last year and didn't make the NCAAs, so I'm not sure that's a good barometer. That being said, if we don't finish 1st in the B1G, you can take it to the bank that we won't make the NCAAs this season.Where has Iowa placed in the BT for the last 5 seasons? No, I do not know the answer.
