    Iowa Basketball Recruits

    CJ had high major offers, has some size, handles the ball well, and scores in the lane in addition to shooting lights out. Hopefully that skill set translates into playing D!

    Joe Wieskamp Comparison?

    JW compares to RDM if RDM could shoot. RDM was an elite defender as an upper classman. It’s hard to discern JWs defensive ability from the clips I’ve seen.

    Iowa Basketball Recruits

    So, there may be a basketball reason he has zero high major or really even good mid major offers despite dominating HS opponents. It’s all speculation. My hope would be it’s just maturity, he ages through it, continues to dominate with a game that translates to B1G level play and he becomes a...

    Iowa Basketball Recruits

    I’ve heard the same thing. Heard that he is very quick but many of his steals are reach around hacks that most in the metro feel are fouls or would be at the next level. It also may not work when the competition is better. He then gets many of his points as runnouts from the steals. I guess...

    CJ Fredrick

    This kid is a high level recruit with high major offers. He may not be the lock down perimeter defender or penetrating guard this team desperately needs but he is a guard with size that can score and this team can use that. Getting 2 of them next year is even better.

    Hey guys Iowa Played really well!

    This was about a superior team elevating it's play when I need it. Iowa as they are (talent and maturity) simply isn't going to win many 1 possession games against top 10 teams. Loved the effort tonight. And that was fun to watch.

    Hawkeyes Haul In Georgia LB Jayden McDonald

    I don't think P Parker has had a LB as explosive as McDonald. When they have had elite DBs, they have played more tight man coverage. When they struggled to get pressure W the front 4, they used the Raider package. Even N Parker used Greenway some his senior year when they struggled to get...

    Hawkeyes Haul In Georgia LB Jayden McDonald

    Transfered HSs once then missed the first 2 games of his senior year...benefit Iowa and ultimately benefit Jayden as he's a perfect time fit for Iowa's scheme. I disagree with how Parker will use him. He will blitz a ton. Why? Bc he will get home. P Parker hasn't had a player like him...

    Hawkeyes Haul In Georgia LB Jayden McDonald

    OMG, Iowa simply doesn’t get players like Jayden. His first step and closing speed are uncommon and unheard of at Iowa. He gets guys to the ground like a LB/S, comes off the edge like an EDGE guy, and has the patience/instincts of a high level MLB. He will play this fall and I would not be...

    2019 Tyreke Locure

    The pg from CO, McKinley Wright,that was the MN POTY did not have KS/Duke/NC/KY level offers but he’s obviously really good. Having seen him play vs Iowa and looking at Locure’s film, I think he’s a really good comp. they are similar sized and have similar games. I know everyone wants to comp...

    Graveyard?

    Either Carton or Locure paired w Weiskamp will be the watershed. Iowa needs one of those 2 pg (both is even better) to pair w the best recruit in a generation. The 2019 recruiting cycle will define FM at Iowa.

    2019 Tyreke Locure

    Uh, RDM could most certainly create his own shot. That’s how he scored most of his 4th all time points. He certainly didn’t do it shooting low 30s from 3. If he’d have had the shooters Iowa has had the last few years on his team that spread the floor a little, he’d have had more lanes. What he...

    Weiskamp may be Iowa’s best player NEXT YEAR. Forget all B1G freshman...F AA. He is a perfect fit in FMs offense. He’s the best of RDM, A White and P Jok in one player. He’d be a 5* if he had committed to MSU/KS/KY or had waited to commit.

    Iowa Basketball Recruits

    6' and 6'2" at the 1 and 2 is fine. MG and AC were similar sized and they were on an awfully good teams their senior year. In fact the size comparisons would be almost identical down the line. Their size was not what limited them or that team. W the size at the 3-5 and the ability to go bigger...

    Iowa Basketball Recruits

    I have a feeling FM wins one and gets Carton. He will see the peers coming in with him and the bigs that are already there. His F year starting lineup is AJC, JBo, JW, Cook and LG. That's solid. PMac and Nunge as 6 and 7.

    Point Guard

    Iowa needs SOMEONE that can break down the defense and get you a bucket when you need it. That doesn't need to be your pg although often times it is. Last year Jok was that guy. 2 years ago it was JU. BF that it was AW. RDM before that. No one on this team has that ability. That's about to...

    Good Coaches Can Have Poor Seasons

    Losing and having a poor season isn’t the concerning thing. What’s concerning is how they are losing. They are gettting destroyed by average to poor teams and embarrassed by good teams. I’m sure they are but it LOOKS like they aren’t trying very hard.

    Uhl moving to the 2

    If Uhl starts at the 2, then J.W. can come in and replace a senior rather that bump someone from the starting lineup.
