The Rag had an interview with him stating he is heading to NC.
What is with these Iowa guys leaving? Can't really blame them, but they would be a state hero playing for Iowa or ISU in their home state.
I heard Dick Vitale "guest spot" on one of the sports-talk radio programs here in Orlando. He talked about how much sleazier big-time college basketball recruiting has gotten, that it makes college football recruiting look "angelic", and that AAU is critical. He mentioned that HS b-ball coaches seem to be much more influential---and not in a good way--on recruiting, given their relationships with AAU, and seemingly more willing to "sell" their players.
He did have anb interesting tidbit of food-for-thought:
--Thise HS coaches that "move" their players like cattle, "selling" them off to out-of-state/marquee schools, etc., are often the big losers when it comes to their "A-minus/B-plus" players. In-state coaches will (Vitale believes) begin using this AGAINST HS coaches when a coach tells an in-state coach he "ought to give one of my kids a look". In other words, keep selling your kids to Duke or UCLA or UNC, etc., but don't come to me with the stuff you can't "sell".
Another problem that I (personally) see here in Florida is the abominably liberal "transfer" rules in the high schools. We NEVER saw this kind of stuff when I was growing up. You lived where you lived, and went to school according to that, excepting the private/Catholic schools in the Chicago area. And even then, there were certain rules, such as not being able to play for a year if you changed schools but your parents hadn't actually school districts.
Unfortunately, even parents (now) will go ahead and make the "move" if it gets their kid(s) more in the spotlight.
There's a name for it: prostitution
