no i am saying Fran can win with who he has nothing more, and i feel with the players he has they will be in the dance for years and will improve recruiting each year,
Fran is in on some very good players next year to just have one schollarship.
who knows Morgan may end up a top 50 recruit, then what are going to say if he does and Roy Williams gets the #1 player in the state of Iowa again. i remember the heat Dr. Tom took for losing LaFrentz, and i have never seen a Coach go 13 deep,
Fran says all the right things by saying he is looking, BUT that does not mean he will sign another player, by adding 2 top 100 players at the 2 biggest area of need. Fran just might be satisfied with who he has.
you are going to be hard pressed to find better players than a pair of top 100 players, then you have Marbleand White that are going to be hard to beat. and McCabe improved a lot between his freshmen and sophamore year, Basabe has shown what he can do when he puts the effort in, Ogelsby shot 37.5% from three, McCabe shot 43.8% from 3 and Marble is now shooting 31.3% from 3.
Iam not worried about 3 point shooting

I ment all time high for him :)

based on how he created new arguments I think he was just high. :D

He forgot to pass that sh!t

So herby, if Fran does use a scholarship to sign say Spearman and passes on Morgan. You going to be ok with it?

[Section136]

i post this in response as to how i see the roster, and i am accused of doubting Fran.
give me a f'n break
then there was the comment about Fran being able to find a kid better than any of the 12 we will have on the team next year, if Woodbury a top 50 player and Gesell a top 100 player are not good enough to go with White, Marble, McCabe, Basabe and the other newcomers without seeing them play is just moronic

HEY HERBY- GFY!!!

And please dont stop posting. I love it.

Everyone on this board knows this! You seem to think that people agreeing that Fran should always be recruiting, even for this current class, is an implication that the current roster sucks.

I don't know why you can't comprehend this, but Fran is not out looking for a player to fill the "13th spot". He is looking for someone who can come in and play significant minutes. If he finds someone, great; if not, bank the scholarship.

[herbyhawk]

Spearman is a 6'3 sg. who do you think he is going to take minutes away from?
Marble?
White?
Basabe?
McCabe?
Oglesby?
maybe he takes minutes from;
Gesell a top 100 player that is a PG?
or Maybe top 50 player Woodbury?
just answer that question.
and remember by taking minutes from one of those tells me you have no faith in the recruits that Fran has signed.
and my opinion is you are saying Fran cannot win with who he has, and needs to get one last recruit to guantee success.

Answer my question first.

This is what ticks everyone off. You start an argument then you go 50 different directions with it.

[1st]

Fran has to say he is looking at other players for 2012 just to keep the door open in case someone great comes along.

[Cydkar]

Good coaches are always looking. Whether it be to add to a current roster or as a backup to non-qualifiers or transfers.

Patently false. That's your flawed logic which is leading to dozens of silly posts.

[herbyhawk]

i would hope he goes after the top in state player vs a Juco.
THIS team he has assembled will be in the DANCE next year and beyound.
we are in the NIT without a full roster in year 2. that would mean a very fast turnaround from the worst 3 year stretch in the history of Iowa BB.
i remember the last JUCO that was supposed to be the savior of the Iowa team.
he didn't even make it thru the summer and as far as i know he played very little if any minutes at a midmajor.
there is no way people can predict how a JUCO will perform. so yeah i will be DISSAPOINTED but not upset,
again who is going to lose minutes by signing a 6'3 guard, when in my opinion the biggest area of need is a 6'5 to 6'8 wing.

[herbyhawk]

Patently false. That's your flawed logic which is leading to dozens of silly posts.

how is it flawed, people by saying we need to fill the last scholarship means that he needs to get major minutes because the current or potential starters are not good enough
what am i missing,
if he to be a bench player because the current players are good enough, other wise he has to be god enough to take minutes from those same player.
so wich is he going to be a bench sitter or a player that sends somebody to the bench, because they can't be on the floor at the same time

Third request herby to answer my question.

[hawkeye12345]

There is also the possibility that someone transfers. Im not suggesting anyone in particular will leave but if you are 6'11" tall and have barely sniffed the floor this year, what gives you the impression that you will pick up minutes moving forward with a top 50 player coming in and another big entering the mix? Just sayin'.
