White #15 top Freshman

He surprised you. Not Fran.

Did he surprise you?

I have to admit that I was down on White when he committed due to the lack of other BCS offers. But it is awesome that Fran hasn't really had a huge miss yet with under recruited players.

You know we are back when we start talking about how awesome the guys are we didn't get.

Gatens All B1G Frosh, May All B1G Frosh, Basabe All B1G Frosh. I love Aaron, but we've been there before.

I will be excited when one of these guys ends up showing up on an All-Conference team, not just an all Frosh team.

Remember everyone freaking out after his first PTL game... lol

No you won't...you'll find something else to complain about...

If I remember right, weren't we in on Thomas Gipson, too? If so, that's three of the top 25 Freshmen in the country that we had a good chance at signing... and getting one of them.

That's pretty impressive if you ask me... way to go FRAN! The future looks bright.

Yes, Iowa was on Gipson, I believe Dillard was after him as he originates from Texas, but wanted to get his recruitment over with, Iowa didn't have enough time to go after him. He reminds me of DuJuan Blair.

Yes you were, I think we disagreed on that quite a bit...imagine that

Aaron is a completely different player than the aforementioned, he has a tremendously high basketball IQ. Once he gets stronger and can settle into one position, much like most of the Iowa roster, he will blossom. Help is on the way and it will benefit Marble, White and Basabe the most. And I have to agree with Shane, you will not be excited, always something.

I love how live his legs are on the court. He will always be effective just because he can get up so quick.
