Sorry, had a momentary flashback to this guy and got really, really nervous. All good now after processing things more.

I haven't seen it noted here, but Charleston made a home run hire with Chris Mack. I liked PK, but this is pretty clearly an upgrade
I thought it was mentioned as well that us wanting/taking Skyy was part of it as well?
I may be wrong, but I thought it had more to do with his shot! I believe the staff wanted to see more from him in that regard, while MSU was willing to take him regardless!
Really, the only thing wrong with the scheme, besides consistent effort, was having Coleman guard the center position. Teams saw that was our glaring weakness and immediately took it at him, some more effectively than others. Of course, the only other option was to play Dain at that position, but that took the team out of its offensive strategy.

If it were, say, Brad Underwood's decision, would we be replacing him?

Count me in the camp that is confused and shocked that Fran is still at Iowa, haha.
LeBron James is notoriously cheap. He has admitted that he won't use his phone unless it is on wifi. He uses Pandora with commercials because he won't pay for it. The suggestion that he would give millions to USC for a teammates for Bronny is questionable.
I thought word on the street is one more year if he didn't get Michigan ?
Think Brad has mixed feelings ...

Think he needs a new agent who is a bit more subtle!
Man I remember originally a lot of posters and insiders on here were skeptical about Geoff's ability to recruit. Then he ended up one of the leads to get Kofi back and now he got us Fears.
Great job to prove a bunch of us wrong. Hopefully Hamer can do the same in time!
No one would ever know about it if Indy didn't say anything. He is just keeping y'all in the loop.

Wasn't saying anything about Indy it was in regards to the YouTube video on Brad interviewing with USC I saw 2 days ago. Figured with all that was going on the rumor started because his agent was talking to people again.

I just think it's a really strange situation. If we just go by the rumors/vibe and things I have seen from Iowa fans online, the following two dynamics seem to be very much simultaneously at play:
1. Fran is at least materially interested in other opportunities.
2. A very significant portion of Iowa's fan base is ready to move on.
With his son now in the portal, it just seems like the total opposite of a perfect match anymore, haha. And that says nothing about my opinion of Fran, as I think he is a decent coach and I also think Iowa is a decently hard place to win big.
Yup, for all the hoopla over their last couple teams with Garza and the Murray twins they still haven't won a B1G regular season title in 45 years or made a S16 in 25 years.
Pretty much the most overinflated sense of self-worth of any B1G program IMO
The greatest thing in the world is a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe.
He's only mostly dead.

Very surprised no one has posted about the big news of AC Eric Reveno leaving Oregon State to take same job at Stanford. 
…also:
I remember a few years ago....can't remember if it was under BU or Groce, but Mennenga who was assistant at Oregon and from Rantoul, was a guy we really wanted to bring in..... is he a commodity in the real coaching world, or just to us because he is from Illinois and was at a high major?? Quick google search says he might be at UIC now?
No real reason to ask this, just randomly thought of it, and since we have a guy who knows literally ever guy connected to anything and everything...you got any thoughts, @Indy Illini Fan ?
