Bowen Born

Don't follow recruiting much, but with Born I would be curious how prolific a scorer he was in AAU summer competition. Not much defense is played, but at least the quality of opposing player would be higher than Norwalk faces.

I agree even though I was originally against recruiting Bowen due to his height. I think he is a legit High D1 player. I think he is like his dad. Under recruited due to him being a 5’11 white guy from Iowa. Good for UNI

He is ridiculous at shooting at basketball. Which if you have seen us play lately is something we need. He also shoots most of this three pointers from NBA range in high school. Also, please see Phil Forte for someone who is the same size and was ridiculous at shooting and playing the game.

Saying that I will say this. He seemed like a UNI recruit before this year started. I think he has gotten to be a big 12 recruit. Just because no high majors offered does not mean he won't be good. High Majors miss on kids like him all the time.

One other thing. His dad was underrecruited and got way better after going to Nebraska Omaha for 2 years. So we shall see how Bowen does at UNI.

Go watch Tre Jackson highlights from high school. Just because you can shoot it in high school doesn't always mean they shoot lights out in college.

Here is your answer. He can drive and get his shot up with big guys around him.

I really wouldn't be mad if Prohm extended an offer late and gave him something to think about. Not expecting an offer or anything like that or for this kid to come in and score 55 but like others have said, we need someone to knock down the open shots and this kid can shoot it.

If Bowen was 3 inches taller he would have been a high 4 star player. UNI got a good one. I don't want to argue but he is going to be a hard one for Mo Valley players to handle.

Exactly, he is a high level Valley talent and is going to the right school. The difference between a Big 12 grind and a one bid league grind is night and day. People also underestimate the adjustment guards have to make shooting from the college 3 point line. Iowa State has had countless kids fill it up in high school but struggle from 3 for a year or two. It's actually pretty damn common.

Seems more like a kid Iowa usually gets, weird you didn't mention them missing out. I guess as long as one of your favorite teams got him you're happy!

My guess is that Fran learned his lesson with Jorbo. Sure, he's lethal from three but you can't hide him on defense.

My buddy who lives in Norwalk and is a huge UNI fan's exact words "he's going to find out quickly he's not going to be able to get shots off inside the 3 point line at the next level"
