Does anyone find this less than encouraging?

I know this article is written with a Wisconsin slant, but there is absolutely no mention of Iowa anywhere in his recruitment. Makes me think it is more unlikely that we land him. Maybe he is being coy, or the writer didn't want to even mention Iowa as a rival.

Jesse Temple is a Wisconsin beat reporter (per his page) so it's going to be written with a Wisky slant. And though Carton is likely the top priority, they also got a commitment from another PG recently: https://www.landof10.com/wisconsin/wisconsin-basketball-tai-strickland-recruit-bio-commit

I don't think anyone except DJ can speak to his leanings and I'd imagine he's keeping an open mind while working to prove he's worth another star. At this point, I'd be more concerned about the blue bloods that are going to jump in.

He is The Land if 10 beat reporter.

I think the team in the lead for DJ hasn't offered him yet, them the breaks.

 

[QChawkness]

I'd be shocked if he came here. He's looking for greener pastures.

Carton is not playing for Iowa. We'll likely end up with another PG-Lite. One that can't dribble or defend.

Can you blame him? I'm not playing for a coach that doesn't hold players accountable on the court.

Sure feels that way. Iowa's kinda the bird in the hand last case resort. He's holding out for 'greener' pastures in more ways than one most likely.

Watch this video at about the 2:26 mark.....he will start talking about his Iowa players still being confused on responsibilities in the 1--2-2.

He already holds offers from "greener pastures". He likely is waiting for a particular team to offer. Probably that cheating scum bag Roy Williams.

Hopefully, he will go where it is best for him.

Ultimately, this is the right answer. Except if he chooses UNC-CHeat and that scum bag Roy Williams.

We understand, Fran. It's you.

Yeah we'll see. Sure hope it's not UNC..

LOL. Watching those kids trying to understand what he is saying through this clinic.

 

[seepig]

For some reason we just can't get key pieces....it's almost like Football and WR's.

Fran has the pt guards he wants. KF has the receivers he wants.

Watched his game against Muscatine. I wasn't very impressed with his defense or PG skills. Did not look fast or great handles. Dont know if he was even the best player on his team. A project player at best. I don't think he gets any higher offers.

IMO, he is a shooting guard, not a point guard. This is just speculation, but I bet Fran thinks the same thing and he's not worried that DJ would take Connor's job from him, because DJ would be playing the #2.

Just watched his mixtape, looked like best player I ever saw. Editing is great. Did a lot of nice things, liked his passing and was quick on the steals. He would definitely help.
