Why did Sandfort leave again?
- Thread starter IAHawkGrad2000
- Start date
Freeman disappeared after his Freshman season at Iowa,.. Great potential, not sure what was going on there.
FRom what I have seen on the BIG network. He attended ISU BB camps and loved Freddy. The main reason he came to Iowa was to play with his brother. Its a shame that the largest Metro area in the state is close to Ames. That proximity has bred a lot of ISU fans.
Freeman got hurt and was never the same at Creighton. In fact, he was pretty bad look up his stats. Got paid 2 million and averaged under 6 points a game.
Guy Rucker 2.0
as for Payton as long as he wasn’t at the game last night wearing husker gear last night so be it. Supporting his brother. Not first time an athlete who played at another school wearing colors of team of person playing on the court or field. He played through lot of injuries and gave everything he had at Iowa and could’ve left after soph and jr year as I’ve heard he was offered more than Iowa was giving but stayed loyal.
Agreed. Payton Sanfordt gave his all for the Hawks, I don't understand the vitriol towards him. He's a Hawkeye for life, and supporting his brother who now plays somewhere else. Meh. Just one more ****** component of the NIL era.
And Pryce and Josh Dix being at Iowa still we'd have most certainly finished higher than we did in the Big Ten. Pryce isn't winning any awards on Defense, but he's 1st Team Big Ten and those players have value.
Neither of these guys are Owen Freeman, so that's good for them.
Rucker had a cup of tea in the Association. Freeman won’t come close to that.
Didn't The Bohannon brothers sport Iowa gear at Jordan's games?Agreed. Payton Sanfordt gave his all for the Hawks, I don't understand the vitriol towards him. He's a Hawkeye for life, and supporting his brother who now plays somewhere else. Meh. Just one more ****** component of the NIL era.

Just watched a post game clip from a Nebraska news station from last night. PS said "...if I am back next year". Portal? Pros?
You have to support your brother. Family always comes first. Pryce’s antics annoyed me and it makes me appreciate Stirtz even more.
Sage probably would still be a Hawk, but Matteoni would not. PT for Sage would be a different issue.
Tbh Id rather have Sage at this point.
Pryce is great shooter and otherwise solid, but Sage may be better overall. He's definitely better than Pryce was as a TR-FR. It would be great to have both of them.
Saw an article that says Pryce will go through the draft eval process, but probably can make more money at Nebraska playing one more year.
I had no clue. Sure enough looked it up 3 games played for the Warriors in 02-03’. Learn something new everyday.
I saw that clip to. I get pryce saying he’d talk to his family because I’ve seen his name as 2nd rd pick in mocks. Like Payton was after jr year and we saw what injuries did cause him to go undrafted. But the Nebraska native frosh Frager saying he’s taking it year by year was tad surprising.
No idea, should I care either way? Just want to make sure I'm showing the correct amount of Fake Outrage for something that really doesn't mean Jack regardless.
Iowa would never had got Pryce if his brother was not here first. Went to all the Hoiberg camps and loved Hoiberg, both boys and parents. It was understood he was leaving when Payton left even if Fran had stuck around, IMHO
We have no idea how that would have went. They came from 3 years of playing for a coach that didn’t value defense. I’m not sure you can just turn the light on and play in a completely different system. Stirtz was always going to have the ball in his hands the same amount even if we had those 2. Sandfort made the right move for him. Constant cutting and an offense pretty similar to Fran, which was very free wheeling. Worked out well for all. No hard feelings either way, why should it?
We don’t know if that is true. Would we have made the elite 8 with the 2 of them over what we have?Agreed. Payton Sanfordt gave his all for the Hawks, I don't understand the vitriol towards him. He's a Hawkeye for life, and supporting his brother who now plays somewhere else. Meh. Just one more ****** component of the NIL era.

Pryce? There is every reason to believe he will stay loyal to Hoiberg. Pro basketball? Please. He’s got a jump shot but can you imagine Pryce Sandfort trying to defend NBA guards? Maybe you meant Europe or Australia pro BB. Possibly.
Well he’s better than his brother and he’s getting a cup of coffee. There is a place in the NBA for shooters when some teams are tossing up 40 3’s a game.
Screw them. Iowa doesn't need any quitters (apologies to Dix, the right call).
Keegan had to learn to defend at the NBA level. Now he's one of the league's elite defenders. PS can learn as well.
Z
lol you’re comparing Pryce Sandfort to Keegan Murray? C’mon man.
Not comparing. I'm saying why not? Like Z said, the NBA wants shooters. He's a smart kid. He can learn. Not saying he'd be the level of Keegan, but he'd be a lot better with the right organization.
My guess is, if we had PS or Dix, then we wouldn't have Hausen.
You're probably right regarding Dix, but I'm skeptical regarding Pryce. Fran had Pryce play some at the 2, but he works much better at the 3.
Yeah….imagine no defense being played. We’ve made the Elite Eight with THIS team. Those others woulda made us collectively worse.
Why I think Momcilivic for ISU should and will go pro. Kid can shoot but kudos to Tenn last night face guarding him with Jefferson out making other 4 beat them.
apologies for token white guy comparisons but if you can shoot there are spots in the league for these types of guys like Duncan Robinson or Sam hauser for the Celtics. Why Kyle korver played 15 years in the NBA. Key is finding the right team and fit.
I just don’t think Pryce would be able to guard good enough to play the 3. I could be wrong though.
He’ll clearly struggle on the defensive end if he gets a shot but damn that quick release of his is something. But he also might want to find a weight room.
Maybe not, but he's more likely to be able to defend at the 3 than at the 2. He plays the 3 for Nebraska, and usually did when he was a Hawk.
