Iowa hoping to land key in-state prospect:

I sure hope we can land this kid. He could be the first of many dominoes that fall. His commitment would be huge for the future of Iowa basketball.

 

[RobHowe]

I'm not really sure what else Iowa can do here. It offered first and has recruited him hard.

If he does wait until the spring signing period, the Hawkeyes probably need to show they're a program moving forward this coming season.

Word on the street is that he favors Iowa State over Iowa but I have never heard that from the kid or his family.

 

[RobHowe]

Yes. I put in the story that Duke and UNC are showing interest. If they offer, that could change the game.

Not a chance, not even gonna follow this recruitment. If and when he signs the forms I'll break out the champagne.

He gone.

They have got to put some restrictions on the name programs. They sign all these one and drones then come after name recruits at the last moments to fill those empty slots. Maybe lose a scholarship til there one and drones would have been at least a junior.

This will never happen. Iowa has for years swooped in late on MAC or FCS football recruits and offered them scholarships. I think we need to look in the mirror first before we throw stones at the blue bloods. Besides, if the kid has his heart truly set on playing for a blue blood school then does he decide to transfer after one or two breakout years to a blue blood that has an open spot? You want to have kids that are truly committed to your program. The fact is that most kids want to compete for national championships and play for a blue blood school if they are good enough to warrant a scholarship offer. I get that's not the case for everyone.

I'll lay 100 to (100 min bet) Iowa doesnt land Xavier.

By 100 min bet do you mean your 100 or ours? 100 to one odds are tough to pass up. I could use 10,000 bucks a lot more than I would miss 100.

It sounds pretty important. The reality is he will either come to Iowa or he won't. Hopefully, wherever he goes it will be whats best for him and his family.

No. No. No. Hopefully wherever he goes it will benefit this fan base.

I have $49,000 in my 401[k]. How much is your house and car and family worth?
