Yes, all these transfers/de-committs is hard to take right now with our recent track record and results but let's think about this...we want TRUE HAWKEYES and talent!!!! Matt Gatens is the prime example of this. Weed out the babies and get those that WANT to be here for IOWA and not just because of some assistant coach. Yes I realize this is part of the recruiting process but McCabe is also an example of a talented player that wants to be at Iowa, not based solely on a coach.
It is apparent that many of Alford's and Lick's guys lacked true integrity and played for the name on the back of their jersey rather than the name on the front. The sooner they leave this program the sooner Fran gets kids into the program for a quicker turnaround. We lack Big Ten talent to begin with and next season was going to be bad regardless, so now we can get the worst over with RIGHT NOW and get Fran's guys on board in 1-2 years rather than 3-4 years.
Freeman, Kelly and Smith transferred and how that work out??? Tony Freeman ends his college career averaging less points/game and MINUTES/game at SIU than he did at Iowa. Jake Kelly tears his ACL (yes could have happened at Iowa but then again it didn't happen at Iowa), less publicity and lower stats. Tyler Smith was an All-American but Iowa has had those too and how did Smith's season go this year?...kicked off team and currently playing in Europe (had NBA potential). Tyler was involved with some shady friends at Tennessee and perhaps at Iowa his clique would have had a better influence on him.
I WANT TRUE HAWKEYES and INTEGRITY!!! If you don't want to be an Iowa Hawkeye...please move on!!!
