Read on another site about a possible recruit visiting today. It was mentioned by Fran this morning on his radio interview. He seemed pretty positive, but gave no name. Supposed to be a JUCO PG from Texas. Also, it was mentioned Fran was in Des Moines today talking to another potential walk-on. Anyone heard who these two might be? Info/stats?

He talks about it here
Iowa's Fran McCaffery finds time for some golf this week | desmoinesregister.com | The Des Moines Register
"McCaffery said he’s still recruiting. He said he could bring in two more players for next season, but one is more likely. McCaffery isn’t allowed to mention names, but he said a point guard was scheduled to visit the Iowa campus Wednesday evening."
But I have no idea who he is talking about, so really I add nothing to the discussion.

Well at least you know it, which is more than we can say for some posters (including me at times).

Is this the same Bryce Cartwright that was a guard for Fresno State? I see he was listed as a freshman last year, but is not on this years roster. I could be completely wrong but I looked up the name and this is what I found. Obviously there could be many Bryce Cartwrights. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=43407

Yes, he played one year for Fresno State and then transferred to Paris Community College near Dallas. He is a true point guard and an interesting prospect.

How can you tell? Other than his Asst's I don't see anything that stands out.

His friends call him "Little Joe" (not sure why, since his name is Bryce) but I hear he's a Hoss down low...

It's been several years since Iowa had a PG with an A/T ratio above 1.5. Cartwright did that as a freshman.

If we can actually sign him, JR you have an excellent point...20 game starter at a mid-major, who can handle the ball...Not a bad option to back up Cully & can let Marble develop IMO into a more productive player at the 2.

So does anyone know about his eligibility? 1 or two years?

thanks I saw that after reading Jon's article.
Cartwright sounds like a great pickup. Excellent ball-handler with quickness. Good A:T ratio. Doesn't need to score to be effective. Also based on his number of steals sounds like a good defender. Plus he has starting experience at the Division one level (20 games at Fresno State as a freshman).
He would give us the option of having Cully play the two. That would be a small lineup but a very quick one with much better ball-handling than we could have ever dreamed of last year.

I like the idea of Cully getting to play the two spot some!! Being left handed and playing that side of the court(throws people off). With Gatens and May not being the greatest ball handlers (not horrible either) letting them play the three will add depth all round.
