Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 2)

Unfortunately far more obnoxious than any Illini basketball fan can be.

I really hope they are clinging to “he should return to work on his free throws.”

Some serious rumors that CJ Fredrick is leaving Iowa and will end up at Kentucky. Just search his name on Twitter and you’ll get the gist of it. Buzz that the McCaffreys have unfollowed CJ on social media and Calipari and staff tampered before CJ (who isn’t even in the portal yet) had intent to leave Iowa

Believe this has been rumored for a while to be happening. Whenever something like that happens, hard not to believe there’s been significant tampering (not to make a whole thing about Worthy here, but there was Texas smoke months ago. How could that be possible without tampering of some sort?).

There were rumors that Kentucky tampered with Tshiebwe at West Virginia too. Kid unexpectedly transfers there in the middle of the season.

I read this on the Iowa board a month ago

Were you thinking of Frederick back then or did you just expect Calipari to recruit shooters from the B1G?

That was around when I first heard the Fredrick to UK talk.

I love college basketball.

“Did you hear that So and So pays his players?!”
“Yeah… Everyone knows that.”

“Did you see that WhatshisName is coming back?”
“Yeah… His uncles aunties cousins nephew said it on his podcast two weeks ago.”

“Did you hear Frederick is transferring to Kentucky?”
“Yeah… I literally told you about that 3 months ago. Everyone knew.”

I never know anything until it happens but it’s never a secret. :joy: :joy: :joy:

Tonight, in an all-new Bart Torvik RosterCast Theatre, we visit Iowa City and take a peek at what’s left for Fran & Co.:

Yikes.

Yikes is right. That Iowa team is going to have to get it done on defense which :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Few of the Iowa people in the thread on Reddit are saying stuff like “well at least our defense should be good” with Toussaint, Murray, Mccaffery, and Perkins. Oof, it’s gonna be bad for them.

Oh my gosh that’s hideous

I guess we’ll see how truly bad at defense Garza and Bohannon were

On a serious note, that roster does set up to be not bad defensively. And they better be because offensively they are going to take multiple steps back.

Wasn’t there talk of Bohannon coming back? Obviously would hurt them defensively but would be huge if he were to come back.

36% combined usage for the McCaffery Bros is a recipe for success.

If Patrick Mccaffery puts up a 113 ORTG on 86 Minutes% and 20+ Usage and Connor Mccaffery puts up 111 ORTG on 15% USG I will never post here again
