It's not, but would rather another year of BE and AW or move on with the ships to other places of need?

Enlighten me how this is a major success story by Fran. Please do.
Trying to follow the J Graham, A Gates and T. Gonzalez path to the NFL. A long shot but why not give it a try?
1. The scholarship has not been used on a better player yet, so that’s all just hearsay at this point.It's not, but would rather another year of BE and AW or move on with the ships to other places of need?
I’m okay with that what you say above. I’m sure Fran was involved in the conversation, that’s good. I don’t question that Fran cares about theses kids.
I’m just confused how a guy going into his 4th year of basketball at your school leaving to play a different sport is some sort of success for the basketball coach.
He could rationalize anything
Agreed. Hopefully at Iowa.It could be a success if Wagner ends up being good as a TE.

Another year of one scholarship senior on the roster-and it's a former walk on. Good golly miss Molly.
Moss is the only one still on the team from the six player recruiting class of 2015-16.
Grad transfers-now! Do not want to see another four or five player freshman class.

2. You can’t play 12 guys successfully at this level anyway which was part of our problem this year. Adding another guy to the mix doesn’t fix that problem. Wagner has experience at this level, is athletic and plays hard, which are all welcome things to me. Even if he’s not in the rotation he’s a good guy to have around.
I’m happy for him that he’s going the football route and wish him the best.
You are putting the cart before the horse here calling this a success by Fran. What if we give Brady’s scholarship to Connor and bank Ahmad’s? Is this still a major success. How about this, when Fran actually lands an impact guy, then you can come on here singing his praises?... I’ll be right there with you.
And Dom Uhl?haha - really? You think Fran was begging Ahmad to stay - or happily accepted this? Or in their out meetings said " you might be best served to do this?" - these guys are their mentors
I hope he brings in a BIG quality guard.Good point on #2. I was going to state something similar as well. There were 3 issues with this years team. Lack of quality PG depth, too large of a rotation which points to your #2 point, and bad team defense.
I can get getting crossed on player recruits and a positions once-in-awhile as that can happen, especially with injuries or players leaving.
Iowa had enough offense but the bad team defense is alarming and is on coaching. Also, the large rotation is as well. You can load up a roster with 12 great players, but giving most a handful of minutes a game doesn't bring consistency so that is on the coaches decision as well.
So, they can bring in 2 players to fill the void, but if the two coaching decisions above are not corrected it is not going to change.
I hope he brings in a BIG quality guard.
I think Dom knew exactly what to expect this season, and must have been ok with it. I don’t think Fran straight up kicks guys out, but I’m sure they give nudges and advice. Still don’t know of a major contributor that’s left Fran at IowaAnd Dom Uhl?
I see after responding 5 times to me in about 10 minutes you decided not to anymore after being stumped. And now you’re completely changing the argument.Good lord we just had 5 months of talking about how we wanted BE and AW to move on and now they do and now it’s a bad thing because Fran hasn’t replaced them yet
