HUGE Recruiting Weekend for Iowa Basketball
- Thread starter JonDMiller
- Start date
Dude was quick on quick. Unfortunately the ball didn't always go with him and his shot stunk. Oh, that and he wasnt a good student.

I think it says a lot for Iowa considering he was out of his commitment to come visit. Then got his scheduled changed and is now coming. If he didn't want to or wasn't considering Iowa he would have just let go.

I agree with this. It certainly seems like a visit he very much wants to take.
Do you really think that an 18 year old kid cares about any of that?
I thought I saw Olasani was visiting soon, but I am not sure when he was?
I think he could be a good point guard in the Big10. It is always a positive to be recruiting big-time high school players. Just having guys like Cezar take Iowa seriously is a good thing.
But, is it just me, or could this kid be really overrated? I get that he has great quickness and is a great ball handler too. But in that highlight video, he was literally using streetball moves! I understand that the kid is listed as 6'0'' 170, but that's high school sports code for 5' 11'' 164. The claims about his ability to 'finish at the rim' or 'take it to the rim' (implying that he will be able to at the college level) are crazy. Says who?...he's tiny and plays like hot sauce from the and1 mixtape tour.
Like I said, i still want him to commit because I think he can play. And he does remind me of Taylor Battle (I think that's a very interesting comparison). But at the same time, he doesn't remind me of a Big10 point guard in the aspects of size, style, physicality.

My friend and I saw Sherman Dillard at the rec center giving a tour today to what appeared to be a point/shooting guard prosepect. Could be the second player visiting perhaps?
Do you have any details on him not being a good student? I heard just the opposite.

I think he flunked out at Iowa so he must not have been that great of a student.

I didn't know the "big boys" played in the Big Ten? I thought they were all in the Big XII?

Not sure you understand the definition of a carry.

I honestly don't care how he finishes inside (thats what she said), as long as he doesn't get kicked off the team and transfer to another program that seeks out such players.

Seems a bit right-handed, but he has skills.
