Who's the current target that you would like to see Lickliter get a verbal from in the 2011 class?
2011 Recruit - who do you want to land?
- Thread starter storminspank
- Start date
Good question. Does this only include known offers or all prospects?

Zeller and then if not, I don't really care, 2012 will be a HUGE class with TONS of depth.

I guess it would include guys that have an interest in Iowa and vice versa.

Weeellll, I'm not sure of his level of interest in Iowa, but I know he was suppose to or maybe did attend the Elite Camp last summer. I know Iowa is recruiting him, but they have not offered to my knowledge. BUT, I would like to see the Hawkeyes land 2011 PG Estan Tyler of St. Paul Johnson in St. Paul, MN.
Iowa needs depth at point guard, period. This kid is a baller and has the kind of team first mentality that Lick looks for in a player.

As mentioned, Chasson Randle would be awesome.
I'd like to see a true center added but it seems Iowa isn't recruiting any.

Randle, hands down.
But it strikes me as an act of cruelty even to pose the question. ;-) We are so far removed from being able to think realistically about landing "who we want" (perhaps apart from in-state kids, or perhaps not) that it's folly to even have a wish list.
From a more realistic perspective, what I hope we'll land is a player who can add athleticism to our backcourt. Not another tweener who fans like to call a guard, but a real guard. Guards are the currency of college basketball. I'd settle for a Scottie Reynolds type. (LOL) The priority could shift if we add an athletic PG to the 2010 class, which I'd love to see.
If that happens or if we somehow have two rides in the class, then come on down, Mr. Zeller.
My definition of success in that recruiting class would be filling the most pressing need with a legitimate player who can help some as a freshman. No one should limit the definition of success to landing someone like Randle or Zeller. It's just not realistic for where this program is right now.

I have a bad feeling Randle won't come to Iowa though. His offer list is pretty impressive.
If I'm recruiting, I'd be on a plane straight to the east coast with written offers for Derrick Wilson and Tyrone Johnson. These are two athletic, skilled east coast point guards with size who are both also very good at football, so they possess that football toughness. I'd take either, and I think either would kick butt in the Big Ten.

And, spank, he's from the Twin Cities--look no farther.

I should be touting him harder, no?
