Peyton McCollum.





We don't know how these players will do in the B!G but I think they will pour their hearts out to help make Ben be as successful as possible. That's important to Iowa fans
 


Here's a recent interview with Ben, It's fun to listen too. Towards the end Ben talks about his playing days. Good shooter no so hot on passing the ball, lol.


He certainly seems to be a likeable guy

Almost like a friend

Think we are in good hands

It's All Good
 


I haven't seen anything as to why Ashton Williamson de-committed or where he is going.

But do find it interesting that Payton McCollum committed the very next day.

I didn't know anything about Payton other than seeing in a family picture. And, he was taller than everyone else. Not living in Iowa I didn't realize he was 1st team all-state at Waukee NW and had played in the state championship game, losing to Jirak's Valley team.


Payton does have a pretty good resume, 6'2" PG, shot 50% from the field, 40% from 3, over 80% from the line so he's evidently a good shooter.

I would guess it known all along that Payton was going to be a Hawkeye although he was never mentioned in any press release as being a candidate. It appears he will be a 3rd PG and a redshirt candidate.

This means we will have a second Payton from Waukee NW on the roster. I hope he has a career like the first one did.

I wish Payton #2 nothing but the best as he embarks on his Hawkeye career.
