3 visits set.....3 more tentative (including Iowa) then 6-8 more in the fall. Sounds like about 12 schools are being considered "very seriously".

I see Iowa's standards for recruiting "wins" have dropped even more. It wasn't too long ago that a win was "being in the top 3 or 5 of a recruit's final list." Now, it apparently is "we ARE GETTING a visit from a recruit who also plans on visiting 10-15 other schools."
They get excited if their homer 247 guys list them as warm for an African American recruit

Top 30 point guard Richard Isaacs Jr. planning visits
One of the top point guards in the class of 2022, Richard Isaacs Jr. is in the process of setting official visits during the Month of June. Currently ranked No. 24 by247sports.com
Bossi says: "So, the four-star playmaker is still pretty wide open."
So I guess if you interpret "Wide open" as "Nobody has a BETTER shot than Iowa" as legit...
Now-a-days, that is about as good as it gets for Fran's recruiting. I don't blame Brodie for embracing the chance while it exists.
Ah, yes, that "We almost got Tyler Ulis" euphoria that Hawkeye basketball fans get every couple of years to sustain them.
We’re not allowed to break stories in the normie forum. Especially not one that CWs good racin’ buddy Chad has the inside track on. Gotta get those Rag clicks.
I could see Fran landing this kid. People forget he finished 3rd for Tyler Ulis
Sounds like he’s pretty much going to visit everywhere.I imagine this is just Trayce Jackson-Davis and Keion Brooks all over again, but this dude is going to take an official visit to Iowa, and Eric Bossi makes it sound like Iowa has a legit shot here.

Still waiting for @Brodie0 to answer my question....
If he was a 6'9" white spider who had a relative who played sports for Iowa sometime in the past, he'd likely be a hok lock. He is a PG. Let me say that again - he is a POINT GUARD! No way on earth is he going to Iowa. Fran will get the fan base excited if the guy narrows down his top 5 to include the Hoks. All of Fran's eggs will go into that basket. When the guy chooses UNLV or some other program over Iowa, the recruiting window to get a legit P1 point guard will have passed, and Fran will sign a guy who was planning on playing for Coe (or dish out another scholly to a walk-on). As a result, Iowa's offense will continue to be run by a below-average floor general.
Its what he said after the pickup truck Loren Meyer was in got hit by a train (and he miraculously survived).
I’ll be honest I don’t knock Iowa fans for being excited seeing their name in the mix with great recruits. I do it from time to time too. However, given that Fran has never landed anyone even close to this guy’s level, and this guy isn’t a legacy nor does he have a huge connection to Iowa, it seems as if there’s not much smoke here.
This is correct. There is no way in hell Fran will bring a PG that could take any minutes from CMac. This team is about his two sons and every decision made is based on that. The Garza blip gave a lot of hoks false hope and fooled the CBB for a bit but Fran hasn't waivered from his approach - and Margaret won't let him.
