I'd take one Bryce Alford over ten Connor McCafferys.
I haven't seen either of them play, but I would think a scholarship player from UCLA might be able to take an incoming high school freshman from Iowa. I'm sure he will be a great player, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will play for Iowa. Both of his parents have basketball connections throughout the USA, and they might want to kick him out of the nest. There are some parents that might think its best for their kids to live their lives after a certain age. It sounds like they are great parents, and they might want him to try his wings.
Hopefully, he will be playing for his dad at Iowa. If he does that means Fran will still be at Iowa.
