Seems pretty ridiculous that he hasn't made up his mind at this point if that truly is the case. Just curious, in your opinion, which current recruit is the staff most excited about?

DeanVogs made hundreds of posts on this site about Iowa being the better program due to NBA players based solely on RDM's cup of coffee.
He's not a program changer but would love to have him. Also would be nice to beat iowa for an (recent history) instate recruit for once.
JMI.........this is huge for Iowa. He is good...no question. But since the infancy of mad Fran's tenure, Iowa has been able to pull in the "legacy" recruits for lack of a better term. The recruits who grew up and at some time in their life were Hawk fans.....and no matter what....were going to be Hawks. This would put a dent in that if in fact he choses ISU.
edit: 83 beat me to it
The lack of high level in state kids that grow up ISU fans is disappointing.
every top program wants to keep the worthy local kids home.

Dont understand this logic and continue to hear it. Did anyone here think Ejim or Niang or Morris were program changers as a senior in highschool? XF ranked higher than all of them and very likely a 3-4 year player. Could very well be a program changer. Athletic 7 footer.
I honestly don’t give a ****. I want him strictly because I think it would be fun to beat out mad fran.
Or he could be very average.
Adam Woodbury
- ranked higher nationally
- Better 247 composite
- Better ppg in hs
- Better rpg in hs
- Nearly identical offer lists in terms of caliber
I truly don’t know how any kid of any talent and his family can watch Fran on sidelines for years and say “ that’s who I want coaching my son”.. guy is a complete mental wreck half time and has a temper worse than my 6 year old..
there’s a very good reason Fran has landed 1 top 100 kid outside state Iowa in a decade..1.
And I’m not using “1” as a good thing either

I'd assume it's Blackwell.
You sure he's going there tomorrow because I heard that wasn't true. You're more connected than me though
Could be very average indeed. I never said hes undoubtedly a program changer. I just dont understand everyone saying hes not. Top 50ish recruit with a combination of size and athleticism we haven't had here since I can remember. Cato? If he doesnt have a chance to be a program changer what recruit does?
Niang and Morris were definitely close to that as seniors imo.
All we need to know is the staff has prioritized him and spent a lot of energy recruiting him. I don’t understand those so flippant. Seems like a copping mechanism and recruiting fatigue.
Could’ve changed. It’s going to be a weird last 4 days so you’ll have to excuse me if i post wrong info myself.

Is Corvallis the name of the new 4000 seat arena in Coralville that Iowa will be moving to?
Thought he was an Iowa lean a few weeks ago. Started coming around that he might be coming here, but I think I'm back to leaning towards Iowa.
