Bo Ryan blocked us and insinuated there was tampering, but didn't mention us by name. Iowa fans had a field day with that thinking Fred had done something illegal, but Uthoff was Iowa all the way.
Did Fred mess up not taking Peter Jok?

Based on what? The recovery for a patellar injury like Jok's is very long, but it's a full recovery. It was a freak injury, not something that is going to come back to bite a player in his college career. Maybe a decade or so down the road, but not in the next 14 months.
Its tough to land a kid when he already knows where's he's going. There's a reason the coaches cut his visit short.
True. He is not good people. He was using ISU as cover for his real plan. Scheming little horse face.
Even if Jok stays at his current level or even improves, he will still be equivalent of Craig Brackins on next year's Iowa team. Talented but not talented enough to put the team on his back and carry them.
Pretty sure Fred wanted Peter Jok but stopped recruiting him after a grad assistant was at one of his games (which is illegal) so we stopped recruiting him to avoid NCAA penalties. Whether we would have gotten him or not, I dont' know.
Fred also wanted Uthoff but he was set on Iowa from the beginning.

What does that have to do with anything? Ben Simmons can only do so much by himself as well, doesn't make it his fault the rest of the team sucks.
Nobody wanted Jok out of HS including Fred. If Iowa didn't miss out on a couple of guys they wanted first he would have went to Drake.
What does us passing on Jok 4 years ago have to do with anything? He's a talented player but he's not talented enough to drag Iowa across the finish line. No "Peter and the Miracles" next year.
Before his injuries his soph year of hs, Jok was being projected as a 4-5 star recruit with interest from many blue blood schools (UNC, Kansas, MSU , etc). But after his injuries, everyone cooled on him except Iowa and Drake. He accepted iowa's offer before he got healthy again, which was a gamble on iowa's part that has paid off big. The kid can play, and I would've loved to have him here.
Is this post because of any inside info you have, or is this just based on looking at Rivals and seeing Jok didn't have a ISU offer. I have said as much, but some seem to insist that it is only because of the stuff pulled by Lefty and imply they have some inside info on that.
It's about time someone put this out there. So sick of the hindsight is 20/20, we would have gone after a recruit rated sub 200 with only two other offers if not for lefty moore bs.
