Jok - former #1 recruit in the NATION??

[BIG10INCH]

Did I hear this right? Jok was not only the #1 recruit in Iowa...but the whole nation at some point?

I only kid, but yes that is true, until the injury bug found him.

In 8th grade.

Yep. #1 in his class about 4 years ago. Iowa is banking that is will recover from his injury 100%.

And if that doesn't work, schedule some non-conference games against 8th grade teams.

Or just hope that Big 10 basketball becomes as bad as Big 10 football.

Because the best 8th grader always becomes the best 12 grader.

No, best 8th grader becomes the best B1G athlete to ever step on court at CHA.

I can definitely appreciate your sarcasm since I'd still be boning Debbie Sasser if what you said always held true to form...

I expect Jok to get back to his Soph form of averaging 18 pts and 5 boards.

I don't know about best in the country at this point, but I thought the guy looked pretty solid. Seems to have a very good shot as well as some ball handling skills. Showed decent athleticism, but sounds like he's still trying to get his strength back. Good size too at 6'7". The thing I'm curious about is if there's going to be more injuries down the road. In Fran I trust.
