I really like that kid. Long, very athletic, and likes to posterize people. Haven't seen much on his shooting but seen plenty of him driving to the rim which is something we can always use.

A class of Collier, Harris and Bonifas would suffice for me. Once Jok and Uthoff are in uniform, I think Iowa has plenty of shooters, prior to that I thought Allen was a priority.
If Iowa cannot get Finke, then Bonifas has to be a priority, but I don't see Finke staying hidden much longer and Groce is already doing a heck of a job since he has been in Illinois.
To me Iowa needs to go all out at Collier and Harris as they are not just highly regarded basketball players, but scouts rave about their athleticism as well.

Based on the names that are popping up in recruiting, I'm not sure the staff sees a true big as a priority in the 2014 class at this point. That could mean there isn't a spot for Bonifas right now.
I would love to see a class of:
1. Bartley
2. Collier
3. Harris/Cunningham

Tyler Ulis can now be added to the list of potential Hawkeyes. He has an Iowa offer and is apparently looking to visit Iowa City. He is a 5-8 PG and is ranked as the #5 junior in Illinois. He has been called the best PG in Illinois for any class. His only high major offer is Depaul (if Depaul can be called high major).

Who is Bartley, did I miss something on him?
When you look at Iowa and bigs, here is the way it breaks down:
McCabe/Basabe - Jr
White/Olaseni - So
Woodbury/Uthoff - Fr
Meyer - RS Fr
Iowa is not bringing in a big for 2013 and to not get short on big men, I think Iowa brings in one for 2014, if they can get the right one. Bonifas would be allowed to develop as White/Olaseni would be Sr's and Woodbury/Uthoff Jr's, plus Meyer being s Soph.
If Iowa can keep Bonifas at home and not go to another BIG school and he develops then it is another win for Iowa keeping an in-state kid. The one thing I like all that I have read about Bonifas, sounds like he can be a good one over time.

Who are you talking about Bartley? If so, can you post a link to his profile, never heard of this Bartley.

Marcus Bartley, 6-4 PG in the 2014 class from Decatur, Ill. No Iowa offer yet, but he has been to Iowa City a few times and Iowa has been to see him play.
Doubtful. This is the class of 2014, meaning Gesell will be a junior.

Thanks, you have a link to a profile or anything, I cannot find him anywhere.
I was talking about Bonifas,,
who I had a difference with a Hoosier fan on TOS about his so called expert opinion, by saying the kid was not BT material, this after seeing him play as a 14 and a 15 year old
