Cook is a great dunker, and adds not much else. He shouldn't have gone to Iowa, Fran has done him a big disservice IMO. Hasn't expanded his game at all.

Not really. That what makes the look at what Fran has done side look silly. He has taken a bunch of kids raised as Iowa fans and a few legacy players and made the team average.
And when he happens to recruit a decent player outside that pool (Basabe, Cook), that player seems to digress the longer they are in the program.

Were you not happy when Iowa lost to TCU last year?

Iowa fans were crowning themselves at the end of last season. Remember JorBo's tweet about the Final Four? Hawks like Jon Miller and Hassel fell for that hook line and sinker. The Hawks were back! The Clones were done!

Sorry, lil bro still sucks.

Looks like Purdue offered him. I bet he regrets his choice so much.

I'm catching up on DVR, it's almost halftime. Purdue looks way better than they were last year....but maybe it's just because they're playing Iowa.

Ha, a bronx cheer when Purdue finally missed from distance.

Everyone keeps saying how safe Frans job is, but home losses like this really accelerate the discussion. Another couple of these no-shows and the mob may officially turn on Fran.

Iowa is playing better this half. Purdue has only taken it from a 31 pt halftime lead to a 36 pt lead now. I figured it would be 40+ lead by now. Good job Hawks!
