Jok would probably be a clone right now if the Lefty thing didn't happen. Although it may not have been a good fit. Jok seems like he needs someone who will chew his *** frequently, which really wasn't Fred's style.
They will be down for sure next year, or at least I think they will. It is probably my fault they are good this year though, as I kind of ran some smack at my Hawkeye friends, telling them both teams were final 4 teams, only they would be in the NIT final 4.
Is this a trap? C'mon, as much as I would want to believe you, you know they're not going to be horrible. Fran's stability in coaching staff, know what they're doing, and can drill it. Sure they won't have a Uthoff but his system works. Not falling for these naysayer posts anymore and then they become the darlings of the basketball nation, and I have to see that dreaded SI issue again. Sure would like to know with all the experienced seniors they had coming back from two consecutive tournament teams, why they weren't ranked at the beginning of the year in the first place. Aaron White was good but only 1 guy.
Look at cooks offers. It's a pain to say but fran can coach
Boy, you must be getting that thrown back in your face now. Yikes! Good luck enjoying that. lol
You go ahead and list off their rotation of 7-8 players next year as things currently stand and include their class as well. Do that and tell me where 75 ppg are coming from. It'll be a rough year for them.

hard to compete for a kid who gave up an entire year eligibility to:
1) play with his butt buddies from Siouxland
2) land in IC because he also wanted to stay with his girlfriend. The guy has been whipped since he was 18
I get your view, I'm just not falling for it. Better for my health, lol. Kruger at OU is a prime example of how you don't need a bunch of 'on paper' 4/5 star guys. They develop and play the system.
IMO, Fred Hoiberg was mentally and emotionally gone from ISU at least 1 year before he actually announced his departure. He, in my mind, is Cael Sanderson II!!! One would think that someone who had been so revered, honored, respected and promoted by his alma mater would have wanted to close out his career there strongly, but---sadly---that IS NOT what he did. I walked away from a lot of top recruits in his last two years which could have helped the current team significantly---because he was too busy focusing on his own self interests!!

Uthoff is from Cedar Rapids. His girlfriend transferred to iowa a year after him. he heavily considered iowa state.
Not really, we do some slight ribbing, but they are good guys. For the most part Iowans in general are good peeps. I don't have a problem with any of my Hawk friends, and they don't have a problem with our Cyclone group. We get together a lot and watch each others games.
Wow, cool I guess. Like my friends (who happen to be Hawk fans) , but no way does watching a game with them sound like fun or a good idea for me. lol But then again, I don't go the smack route.
You are dumb. IDC if its the big10 you have no idea wtf ur talking about
All bias aside the top 6 teams in big12 and big10 are pretty similar. Both tough as hell
For the transfer? Not what I heard. Mind was made up before he even visited. Guess it doesn't really matter at this point, tho.
I thought Wisconsin blocked us as one of the schools he could get a release to.
