FRANPOCALYPSE NOW: AARON FULLER TO TRANSFER

Well, whatever Fran McCaffery told Aaron Fuller and his father, it didn't work. The day of pain continues unabated as word comes in that Aaron Fuller will transfer away from Iowa at the end of this semester.

So far, only the DI's Brendan Stiles has claimed confirmation, but that'll change shortly; we're sure reports are being written up all over the place as we speak. Hlas and HawkeyeInsider, among others, have tweeted it as fact, so, it's fact. Well, unless many reputable people are concurrently and independently misinformed. Severely unlikely, that.

It's hard to make much sense of this from our admittedly biased standpoint; Fuller was a good player on a bad basketball team last season, one that (one would have previously assumed, anyway) would improve markedly this season. Fuller would have been a major contributor to that. But now, it appears his worries about Iowa not becoming a "winner" for which to play have become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

At the very least, we do hope Fuller finds his way to a significantly better program than Iowa, and that includes education. If he goes to some rinky-dink mid like Indiana State, then he hasn't really improved his lot in life. Not for life after basketball. If he finds a decent school that plays better ball, then, well, what the hell are we going to say? Boo for him? He's a traitor? Whatever. It's a coaching change, and people leave. It fucking sucks, but it happens.

"Album" is an accepted term

to describe any collection of music compiled in a set sequence and then given a specific title i.e. everything from “Double Nickles On The Dime” to “Late Registration”. You’re thinking of the term record, which is very evocative of vinyl (which is actually making a comeback).

That must be something to do with those McIntosh Apple Personal Computers. Me, I’m just fine with my Tandy 1000. Speaking of which, I just came up with the funniest trick where I was able to spell out the word “boobs” in huge block letters using nothing but the “0” key. I had to hit “return” a whole lot, but it was worth it. As soon as I print it out and tear off the perforated margins, I’ll put it in an envelope and mail it to you so you can see what I’m talking about. Maybe you can record your reaction on a camcorder and then convert it to VHS and mail it back to me so I can put it in my VCR and see your response on my full-color Zenith. Looks like this old dog can learn new tricks…

I just wish it was Brommer that was tired of losing instead of Fuller.

by burglinturds on Apr 9, 2010 5:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

It's frustrating and annoying...

But anyone expecting a totally bloodless transition here was probably wishing for a bit too much. Does it suck to lose the guy who was our best player in B10 games? Yes, absolutely. The key difference to me between this and what we’ve seen the past three years under Lickliter is what happens next year; if we keep bleeding 2-3 players each off-season, then yes we’re well and truly fucked. If these changes are just a result of the regime change and the guys remaining and the guys coming in buy in and stick around… well, then this was just an ugly and unfortunate part of the transition.

If nothing else, I’m glad that this gives McCaffery a chance to bring in more of “his” guys to hopefully fit the style of play that he wants to run — hopefully that will cut down on the awkward and painful transition phase that we suffered through under Lickliter for a few years.

I assume you mean the early transfers Lickliter had to deal with?

Because it’s difficult to absolve him of all responsibility for the latter transfers. Transfers and decommitments are virtually a given with coaching changes; losing 2-4 guys every single year after that is not.

by RossWB on Apr 9, 2010 4:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

True

but all but one of the players that transferred while Lick was here were recruited by [redacted]. The only player that Lick rectruited that left was Kelly, and that was because his mom died and he wanted to be closer to his family. You can’t blame a coach for that.

by HeroPatriotStanzi on Apr 9, 2010 4:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

Fuller too

I think you could count him as transferring from Lickliter’s team.

And I think its naive to think that Kelly transferred only because of family problems.

by burglinturds on Apr 9, 2010 5:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

If you include Fuller as transferring from Lickliter

then you have to include Tyler Smith, Jeff Peterson, Tony Freeman, and others as transferring out of [redacted], because they were recruited by him, and therefore on “his” team.

by HeroPatriotStanzi on Apr 9, 2010 5:14 PM CDT up reply actions  

The situation is a little different

don’t you think? It sounds like the Fuller transfer was a big reason for Lickliter being fired.

Smith was obviously nobody’s fault, his situation was much different. I’d even give you Tony, whose father played with [redacted] and that was the reason he was at Iowa. But Peterson I would put on Lickliter.

by burglinturds on Apr 9, 2010 5:19 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don't think Smith was ever on anyone's team but his own

Remember that he signed a letter to TN and then bolted when they fired Peterson and hired Pearl, spent a year in prep school, became a “[redacted] guy”, then bolted again when the hair gel show moved to the high desert.

by PackerHawk on Apr 9, 2010 6:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

That's not fair.

He kept seeing the coach he committed to get fired. Plus his dad died. Some cases are sufficiently peculiar that it’s not worth your time to try to fit them into a narrative about selfishness or whatever.

PackerHawk implied that Smith was selfish/of poor character.

Jacobi responded that it wasn’t fair to judge his character based on unforeseen and tragic circumstances. I would agree with that. I would also think it could be easy to see how one could judge character on subsequent weapons charges. Even bad dudes love their dads, it doesn’t make them cease to be bad dudes.

So Lickliter was just the unluckiest motherfucker ever?

Or he couldn’t form bonds with anyone but “his” guys? (And even that is debatable, if certain transfer rumors from this past semester were true.) He had some bad luck, sure, but some of his woes were certainly self-inflicted.

"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"

by RossWB on Apr 9, 2010 6:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

But there is a difference between forming bonds

and having the right players that fit your coaching style. Most of the players that left under Lick didn’t fit in with his style of coaching (whether his style was good or bad is irrelevant). It was like Ryan Mallett and Michigan. He is a good quarterback in a pro-style offense. When Carr left and RichRod took over, Mallett did not fit into RichRod’s spread offense, so he transferred to Arkansas. That doesn’t mean that either one of then was wrong in that situation, they just didn’t fit. I think that was the same with Lickliter.

Again, I’m not defending Lick here or anything, I’m just trying to make my point.

by HeroPatriotStanzi on Apr 9, 2010 7:31 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah, but...

if you are any kind of coach, you probably don’t just treat players as disposable parts for your system.

I don’t blame Lick for not being so warm to Tucker after his transgressions. But some of the other transfers (Freeman, J Davis, Palmer, Peterson) might have been avoided if we had a coach who actually got his players to like him.

I tend to agree with that -- I was looking forward to seeing what Fuller could in this offense.

But there’s some chatter that Fuller had made up his mind to transfer quite a while ago, so maybe his mind was set on that and there just wasn’t much Fran could offer him to change his mind. Now I’m not sure what Fuller’s going to find elsewhere that’s a lot better than being a starter and major contributor to a team in a BCS conference, but who knows. So far I think Smith is the only guy who’s really “traded up” when transferring out.

If you are correct and he had his mind made up long ago...

Maybe we should ante up some cash and throw him one hell of a going away party. He might of had this planned out the whole time. He didn’t like the school and decided to transfer. He owed one of his teammates a favor, so he let it “slip” to Blood Punch that he was leaving because of Lickliter. Lickliter gets fired, Debt paid to teammates and all is well in Hawkeyeland. Eventually.

Cougill heard the news about Fuller’s transfer.

Then, Mr. Iowa Basketball said to himself: “There’s a starting spot open. I better train to get bigger, stronger, and faster.”

I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.

I think . . .

And it doesn’t matter. This is totally uninformed, but I believe this is more Fuller than anything Fran.

Just a thought. It’s going to be one of those egg-omlette thingies. Some eggs are going to break.

Although, some of the Larson stuff I’ve heard is odd. Not reporting, just thinking odd if true.

So are you saying

you know how to make an omlette?!?

I'd like mine with:

Ham (none of that canadian bacon stuff), green peppers, onions, and just a dash of tomatoes.

Thanks!

Master of the convoluted IOWA cheers!

Isn't it easier just to say

“I’d like a Denver omlette?”

Doesn't a Denver...

include mushrooms sometimes?

Also, I dare you to look up “denver omelette” on urbandictionary.com. It is pretty gross.

OK, I guess you win that dare.

Point of order.

Why is it called the Denver omlette?

Did John Denver like eating this combination when he was on the road and needed a good hearty breakfast to start the day?

No,

it’s what his remains looked like after the crash.
