Any info on him, early offers? I don't know much of anything just saw the tweet from his AAU team, Connor is going to be brining in some talent with him!
Joe Weiskamp commits class of 2018
- Thread starter Hawkeyestate81
- Start date
Appears legit, Iowa Barnstorms AAU tweeted that he decided to end his recruiting process early and commit to U of I. Is this the kid Golden boy Hoiberg offered?
Good get for iowa. Really ood player. Te fact that he had sued with Connor and patrick is good so I am sure thy have chemistry on te court.
I'm really loving what I'm seeing here for pieces coming in late this decade! Nice having Fran's boys me stud hoops players and who can also recruit players to come play for us. Love Iowa being back on top again soon. Go Hawks! We have the top 2016/2017 and now 2018 prospect from state committed.
Wow, nice work by Fran. Hawkeye fan or not, it's nice to see the really good ones stay in state.
Still crazy to me that a Freshman is already that good to get offers and commit like that.
I have a freshman and he can barely keep his head out of his butt.

I gather you're expressing your approval of this recruit, and you believe some assistance was made by an existing relationship with Fran's sons.
Different circumstances, but how old was Horner when he committed? He was a freshman as well I think. I agree, it's amazing kids being thought of highly enough to warrant scholarship offers, let alone verbally committing. A long time till signing day, but I have a good (or should I say "ood") feeling
.
Yeah, i know that is the game and everyone is doing it, but definitely is crazy.
To even have a 15 year old thinking let alone committing to a college is nuts.
Most parents with children that age are just trying to survive the adolescent stuff yet.

It's not crazy for an instate kid. If we're talking some random from the coast with no ties to Iowa? That'd be crazy for sure.
Excited to get the commitment.. it certainly is early in the process but it sounds like he is a hawk fan and an excellent player
Really happy to see this commit. Everything you read is that kid is the real deal. No doubt that many more offers would have come his way.
Ohio State got a commitment from Dane Goodman (2018) on 10-25-2014. Currently there are nine other offers to class of 2018 kids from Big Ten schools. It isn't entirely a rare thing anymore. But crazy? Yes. Iowa has an offer out to Nazreon Reed (2018), we are one of twelve schools to offer the kid so far.
3 more years to grow too. kid could a 6'6 shooting guard when it's all said and done. Future looks really bright for the hawks.
Saw this tweet about the kid:
K.C. Schmitt @CoachKCS
Did the Curry/Korver 3pt drill with @JWieskamp21 after a hard workout got 79/100. Today he got 91/100 with 39 made in a row as a high. #work
So, he might be a shooter.

So far I think that Fran has commitments from the top Iowa player in 2016- Cordell Pemsl, the top 2017 player in Connor McCaffrey, and now the top 2018 player in Joe. What I like about Joe Weiskamp is that he apparently is a lights-out shooter, which the Hawks can always use! So we have a 2016 bear around the boards, a great 2017 tall playmaker, and a super 2018 heads-up shooter. I'm happy. Now let's bring on some "trees," another great 2016 guard, and the best players available with some size.

Last Muskie to play for the Hawks, I believe was the great Murray "wizard" Wier.
Happy Joe is a Hawk. Kid can really shoot.

Bobby Knight got a commitment from an 8th grader, but I can't remember his name.
Thank you for the sage advice. Now go into your garden, relax, and eat worms. Does the sun shine in your narrow world?
actually I think I read that Brandon Welsch is his high school coach. he was a walkon at the same time as Jason Bauer in the mid-late 90s.
1st team big ten
3rd team all american
6th all time scorer at IU
2nd round draft pick
This one doesn't pass the sniff test for a defection for some reason. The kid has always wanted to be a Hawk. Had some other good offers with more to come most likely. Not concerned in the least that this kid pulls a "Piersbacher". .................. (unless the wheels completely fall off the Hawkeye Basketball Bus, which isn't likely IMO).
Glad to have the young man aboard. Congrats to him and his family. Pretty big deal.
I'm not going to do the math for you but I'm glad that you're pacing yourself. Stay calm my friend.
You are correct on both. Brandon is one of my good friends, has nothing but great things to say about Weiskamp. We got a good one boys....
