Up and coming Iowa talent

[Dutch]

I was wondering whether anyone out there had insight on up and coming in state talent - Iowa only. I am thinking of kids on par with Barnes, Paige or even Woodbury that hawk fans should be keeping an eye on as they progress through high school. What say you?

I haven't heard much about any next generation talent that Fran needs to lock up.

Peter Jok is in next year's class. People said they weren't overly impressed with him this year; said he looked like a solid mid-major player, but not Big Ten caliber. However, those people forget that he had surgery to repair a patella injury that takes a year to fully recover from. He was playing this year at about 60%. Some school backed off of him, but Kansas is still in on him. Said to have been more advanced than Barnes at one point.

Besides Jok, Jeremy Morgan from IC West has some eyes on him. Wisconsin and Iowa are both rumored to be considering offers. His teammate, Dondre Alexander, might attract some offers, but he'll probably end up playing football - preferably at Iowa.

In the class of 2014, we've already offered Seth Bonifas (PF - Dubuque Senior).

Unfortunately the years of the Blue Chip (Barnes, Paige and Woodbury) are gone for the time being. Keep your eye on Morgan, though. He could blow up if he has a good AAU summer.

Jok looked decent in the state tourney but he's a long way off the pace from a barnes/paige caliber of player. Jeremy Morgan might pop a little bit this summer. Seth Bonifas is a 2014.

edit: sorry wundergrape I didn't mean to gank your post I was typing and then got sidetracked and didn't refresh.
