Is Fran building a regional powerhouse or just calling Iowa fans idiots and morons?

Locure to Iowa has been my expectation since last fall and especially because they only have really appeared to be focused on Carton, Terry and him. Once the offer does come I fully expect him to commit quickly. I don't want to hate on Locure but his lack of other P5 offers are telling.
Hawk fans are already justifying offering him and buying into the "local Iowa HS" narrative. Fran will try to coach up another Mid-Major level PG and fans will eventually turn him due to his limitations once he is forced to play a major role. We have seen this act before in EIU.

Sounds like Terry is a heavy Stanford lean and Iowa has basically stopped recruiting him. They'll continue to recruit Carton until the finish but we all know how that will end up. Then they'll offer Locure and he'll commit on the spot. Almost too easy to predict at this point

Eek. It's one thing to take a flyer on the kid hoping he can develop at the next level. It's another to have that be your only PG commit and hoping he saves the program.

Hearing some rumblings that Noah Hutchins is going to the backup option to Terry and Carton for Iowa. While I really want Iowa to land Locure this Hutchins kid could be a funny pickup too. This is all the info I could find on him

Hutchins is averaging 4.4 points and 2.8 rebounds in 12 games on the Nike EYBL Circuit

That dude cannot recruit high level guards. How disheartening for Iowa fans.

Interest reported from Buffalo, Canisius, Columbia, Howard and Temple with no offers reported. Sounds like a good get.

Then he will have a promising Freshman year, averaging 8 points and a few assists per game, get overhyped going into his Sophomore year, gradually regress, and finally get replaced by the next savior point guard, thus completing the Iowa point guard circle of life.
