Fran McCaffery and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Transfer Portal

[RagingCloner]

Frans approach is like the garage sale shopper who shows up every day of a 3 -dayer with 5 bucks and keeps trying to negotiate 20 dollar items down. Then Shows up with 30 minutes left and grabs what he considers the best deal for his $5.

So hes Gary V essentially

According to Iowa fans, he doesn't even have $5 to spend, so he must be promising unlimited free pizza (failing to tell them it will be leftover from their games since not enough fans showed up to eat all of the pizza the AD had delivered to entice the non-existent fans). Somethings are just a bridge too far.

Tells him he can save money by sleeping in Patrick’s room since he will be at Butler.

Really no evidence that next years hoks will be any better, and if sandlot doesn’t return they are likely looking at bottom 2 or 3 in a bad tiny ten BB conference

The bottom half of the B1G will be bad though. There will still be a lot of winnable games for Fran and Friends.

Evergreen statement.

I think you are giving Fran too much credit...

So, less talented Ben Krikke?

I would take this kid over Krikke.

Is Big Jelly still available?

 

[Cyinthenorth]

It's just more of the same.

Thelwell < Perkins
Cross = Krikke

This is classic reading on pages 7 and 8. Franisdaman is a weird dude and even the mods called him out. Typical hawkhomer thinks he is right all the time, but the 54,000+ posts being online 24/7 is called "obsessed".

Amarion Nimmers Practice Highlights are IMPRESSIVE. On Aug 3, enters Transfer Portal

interesting; this is the first time I have heard that Nimmers played zero defense in high school. granted they were just the highlights and we didn't see the lowlights, but weren't you at least a little impressed in what you saw in his highlights posted in the original post? Yes, certainly see...

Cross is much better than Krikke. A10 >> MVC.

Valpo was absolutely awful so there was definitely an empty stats element to Krikke's numbers. Adding another defensive sieve was also a poor roster construction decision.

Cross was a good player this year on a top 100 team. He also seems to be an adequate defender and good rebounder. Would be a nice pickup for Iowa.

I agree completely. Which is why he'll probably end up somewhere else

I don’t get why everyone is so down on Fran’s ability to get talent - I mean according to the Big 10 Media, Iowa had 5 of the top 30 players in the Big Ten as they were the only team to get 5 on the all- conference teams A’s selected by the media. 1 more than Purdue and 2 more than Illinois. And yes, that is a true story about how ridiculously bad the media is. By comparison, Iowa State only had 2 on the All-Conference teams (voted by coaches) and then Milan made All-Freshman but not all conference so Fran is much better at recruiting than TJ (insert pirate emoji here).

If Cross is an adequate defender, he is a bad fit for McCaffery. Fran doesn't like guys that can defend.
