Is Fran building a regional powerhouse or just calling Iowa fans idiots and morons?

I personally find the cameramen and microphone holder at a personal workout session funnier than his slow lateral movement
My son goes to AI and is exponentially faster than this D1 athlete. He is much younger than(just became a teenage) this fully grown man. Kid seems to work hard but quickness is not his forte.
All I am saying is that with all the NBA talent of last year and the years before that, how did ISU not at least get to a elite 8?
Is Garza a 7 foot D1 recruit with a good looking shot and inside post game?
IMO the answer is no to both questions.
Based on what? his numbers are better than Jacobsen, and he was a 4 star recruit....
They are basically in the bottom of NBA rosters and get spot minutes at most. Minus 1 or 2 of them. But it is a nice recruiting pitch to have with guys that have recently been drafted. My point is that when your team underachieves, it is ok to admit that.
1.) It's incredibly hard to be on the top half of any NBA roster. That's the best of the best basketball players in the entire world, and even having two that are up there is awesome for Iowa State.
2.) Since Fred became our coach to where we are right now, one maybe two teams had a great capability of making the elite 8. The first was when Georges broke his foot in the NCAA tournament. If he had not done that there was a really good shot we could've gone all the way. The second was probably the year after and we played like garbage against UAB and they beat us.
If I'm being honest, I don't see us beating Houston in the 2nd round and then beating Kentucky the round after that this past season. And us losing to Purdue 3 years ago in the second round in a dog fight was probably right around our ceiling as well. But every one of those seasons has come with great regular season wins and probably a conference tournament title.
They are also playing on contending teams. There's a big difference from being a rotation guy on the Jazz/Nuggets/Thunder than playing that role on a team like the Bulls/Knicks/Hornets.
Hawkeye fans love to talk about how Iowa has tons of players in the NFL and Iowa State only having some. But when we bring up how Iowa State has many players in the NBA and they have literally zero, they spin it negatively on us.
Per the tweet, BTN is filming footage for their TV show The Journey.
