Rob, this kid, along with X. Foster, would be monumental gets for Iowa (assuming they progress normally.) Both kids have ties to Iowa and Fran is making a big splash with both. So, so much time before either kid signs, but I really feel good about what Fran is doing.

To pull a 4 start recruit from the state of Kansas, who's father played for Kansas... well that would definitely be quite impressive. Go get him Fran.
It's been interesting to see the shift in how kids no longer are fans of teams really. He just flat out said as much and it seems like more and more are like that. They are fans of Lebron, Steph and other players. Not so much any teams. Which when I grew up it was the Hawkeyes for me and the Bulls in hoops. Of course BJ going to the Bulls about that time of my childhood had something to do with that. ( and some guy named Jordan) But I never jumped off the wagons it's always been them. The older I've gotten the less into the pros I care about but I'm as die hard as ever about my Hawks. I'm not sure if kids being less fans of teams is a good thing or not when it comes to Iowa and recruiting. I think it's just too bad that kids don't get to enjoy the ups and downs of their emotions when your all in with a team is all...

We tell our kids to try and keep away from favoring college teams. Tell them not to wear apparel. If college coaches see them wearing it, they might not waste time offering a scholarship.

I think it may have a lot to do with social media and AAU. From younger and younger ages these kids are treated more like NBA free agents than they are kids when it comes to how they are recruited (to a large degree it’s the parents getting recruited too) at the AAU level. And when they get to HS they also jump from school to school. So kids at that level just don’t have all that much of a sense of attachment to a team. It’s so individualized that it’s easy to see how kids have a tough time coming back to a team type of mindset. It’s crazy how fast things changed in the last 20-30 years.

I think I am going to go over to the Walmart and buy about forty rolls of "Right GUARD" deodorant and box them up and send them to Fran as a hint. I hope he doesn't think I am suggesting that his coaching stinks. Lol,
Why can't we find that outstanding point guard that wants to come into HAWKEYE land and be the navigator of this program, and take it on a deep voyage to the deep seas ( deep into the tournament, final four). It's a nice thought. Don't get me wrong we definitely need B1Gs in the conference, it just seems like we don't talk enough about high ranked point guards.
Here's to hoping one of our boys on board really surprises us. That would be excellent.
