It was reported that Iowa has offered 6'11 4 star center Malik Williams out of Fort Wayne Indiana. He is long and lanky and runs the floor very well. He is the #6 center in the 2017 class and #58 recruit overall per 247Sports. This could be a great get for the Hawks to fit in with a great class. Has several bigs offering.
"Williams is a lanky, athletic big man with tremendous length, long legs and wingspan. He can run the floor and finish strong at the basket and he has pretty good ball-handling skills for a forward. He would fit in Iowa's up-tempo transition offense whether he's running the floor or taking the ball up himself, so it's easy to see why the Hawkeyes like him.Williams has the length to be a great defender, and he'll be able to block a lot of shots, even at the college level. He'll also be a solid rebounder, though he does need to bulk up a bit in order to truly be effective down low at the Big Ten level. Last but not least, Williams has a smooth outside shot, which gives him an added element of offense. He'll be able to spread a defense and open up the middle of the lane, and if his shot is not respected he is good enough to drain it—even from behind the three-point line." Per Andrew Kulha
