The fact we are even in the discussion to land a kid like him says everything.... Landing him would be out of this world... Go get him Ben

During this past season Coach Mac stated clearly that his top recruiting priority was an elite guard in the '27 class. This dude would fit the bill.

Also keeping these guys as it would suck hard to lose him and/or Tyrek as they would be maturing into a real dynamic duo. Hopefully Coach gets them here and the collective et al do what they can to keep them here.

Gotta have Faith in Ben

He is expert at identifying available talent and expert at developing them season after season

Of course things have really changed in the game

Money is the Master and loyalty appears to be an afterthought

He obviously performed above and beyond at the DII and at Drake and at Iowa, with the latter two being small sample sizes. One would presume that includes identifying and recruiting talent to his program. On paper, he did pretty good out of the portal both years at Iowa, but going after this type of guy is a next level get.

He strikes me as a guy that can sell a kid on his vision and program like few can. Yes, money is always going to be one of the biggest factors, but a lot of programs have moved away from recruiting as many high school kids and want to spend heavy in the portal. My guess is that Iowa can pay market for this kid or similar kids like him. Heavy competition, but we have learned quickly not to bet against BM.
