With 2 Full rides to give, Iowa should

Bohannon is no Dickerson, and Dickerson isn't even a quality B1G guard. If we want to keep going to the NCAA's we need players like Fran is bringing in......not kids that only UNI offers.

There's just a slight problem with your logic, errrr screed.........

Seth Tuttle, who WAS offered by UNI, but NOT by IOWA is now
contending for NCAA NATIONAL PLAYER of the YEAR.

Hmmmmm.......................

Doh

He's also not Trey Dickerson.

Yeah...........he's certainly NOT the guy that the IOWA Kool-Aid drinking media
& quite a few fans swallowed as some kind of future STAAAAAAAR and that was just last summer.

Good grief........

On another note, a couple of QUALITY IOWA kids, Bohannon and DiLeo just qualified for State tourney.
Both of them could shoot better than Troy Dickinson with BOTH hands tied behind their backs.

Haha give it up already. UNI has 11 Iowa kids and only 2 of them are B!G quality. Take Waspun out of the equation as he signed with Tenn and had An Iowa offer. So basically you are saying Iowa has a 1 in 10 shot of getting the next Tuttle, and a 9 in 10 shot of getting a MVC caliber player......so we should just start bringing them in left and right.....LOL

And neither of them could play the PG position even in HS in Iowa.....so what is your point, Fran should start bringing in SG who cant dribble to play the point???

Um, Linn Mar lost to Kennedy last night. So, Bohannon did not qualify for State.

Yeah, wow. let's hope there's someone over at Carver with a better plan.

Let's hope we don't wait too long, AGAIN........then reach for a JUCO pg that wasn't
ready, or the 98th best shooting guard in NW Wisconsin.

Especially, when there are PLENTY of solid, solid IOWA kids available.

First off, I said the biggest priority was getting a big. Preferably a 5th year guy or a solid JUCO prospect. Ever heard of Doug Thomas or Erek Hansen? They were both JUCOs and provided great post depth for arguably the best Iowa team this century. But yeah you are right, Fran should just ignore JUCO players all together.:rolleyes:

Secondly, why hate on Trey? He got beat out by 2 upperclassmen, both of which have elevated their games the last month. Trey has the athletic ability to become a pretty good player. He has never had stability in where he plays and hasn't been able to develop an under control game yet. I wish him the best of luck as he has nothing but love for the Hawkeyes. He just wants a change of scenery with a chance to play meaningful minutes for 2 years somewhere else instead of just 1 at Iowa. Can't blame a kid for that.

Lastly, I said the 2nd priority was to get a PG via JUCO "or" HS. Just because the Dickerson signing didn't work out doesn't mean giving another kid a chance is a bad idea. Fran doesn't need to get a program changer with this scholarship. It's doubtful to find one at this point in the recruiting class anyways. What he needs though is to find somebody that is serviceable to help a 2016 PG recruit during their freshman season. You can't rely solely on a freshman PG to handle the ball for 40 minutes. The guy doesn't have to be ready to play next season as Gesell and Clemmons will still be around.

Need I say more?

Well, since EVERY high school team is in the tournament, technically he's correct. However, they don't call it "State Tournament" until you reach the final eight teams in your class.

And both aren't good enough to play for Iowa.

I'm sure they're both better than Troy Dickerson, is he an usher somewhere or is this a UNI recruit.
 
For the love of God, could one of you young go-getters please create a message board for the Teachers' College Panthers?

Tuttle also wasn't offered by Iowa State, or Kansas, or Nebraska, or Illinois, or Kansas State, or Wisconsin, or Kentucky, or Louisville, or Wichita State, or Drake, or 200 other schools not named UNI, Colorado State and Northern Colorado.

Guess how many Iowa kids Ben Jacobson has signed and haven't turned out to be anything at all? I see Max Martino (Cedar Rapids), Matt Morrison (Solon), Austin Pehl (Cedar Falls), Brent Barz (Johnston). So Jacobson found a diamond in the rough within the state of Iowa and suddenly is a genius? What about all these other Iowa kids who didn't pan out but Jacobson offered a scholly to?

Hell Frank Kaminsky had really bad offers except for Wisconsin and he didnt do sh*t for the Badgers until his Junior year. he just developed into a stud. It happens

Looking forward to you not replying
