From what I've seen pitcher. I read something that said they'd keep an eye on his bat for the future. But right now PO.
2015 Baseball class now ranked 26th by Perfect Game
- Thread starter IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life
- Start date
He made a lot of noise the last few weeks at Perfect Game events. Nothing not to like about another left handed bat who gets up the line quick.
I believe he is the son of Tom Norman ( Iowa hoops player) and his uncle whose name escapes me was also a hoops player at Iowa. Ben is also the nephew of Bob Bowlsby (former AD at Iowa).
Small world.
Small world.
Perfect Game released their "Top 350 Incoming Freshmen" who made it to campus. Iowa has six among the top 350: Cole Baker (125), Luke Farley (129), Robert Neustrom (190), Daniel Perry (208), Dametri Evans (243), and Shane Ritter (257). Iowa's six are the most in the Big Ten and two more than Michigan (4).
Full breakdown:
Illinois - 3
Indiana - 3
Maryland - 3
Michigan - 4
Minnesota - 1
Nebraska - 1
Penn State - 2
Purdue - 2
Rutgers - 0
Northwestern - 0
Michigan State - 0
Ohio State - 0
IOWA - 6
Go Hawks!

87th and 6th in the Big Ten.
B1G Order (Parentheses denote overall ranking):
1. Indiana (23)
2. Illinois (36)
3. Maryland (39)
4. Nebraska (40)
5. Michigan (67)
6. Iowa (87)
7. Michigan State (93)
8. Minnesota (100)
Given the last two seasons, Maryland should be higher than 39 and probably higher than Illinois. The Illini had a remarkable 2015 campaign but they don't have the recent success of Maryland.

His contract expires next summer (2016) so the administration has the option of not renewing it. Many Gopher fans believe he's checked out and he barely recruits outside his zip code. I really, really like Coach Anderson but he hasn't done much the last few years and I think a change is needed.
Anderson always is going to take the Minnesota kids first
Anyways, I see Iowa finished 19th in those recruiting rankings
I agree but when you repeatedly lose top players to Nebraska in addition to southern teams (which is gonna happen) you need to make up for the gap in players.
I don't disagree with that. I think any midwest state needs to have a mix of in state guys and out of state. Even Iowa's top talent usually goes elsewhere. I hope Heller can bridge that gap, but IMO still no way we keep all the top talent in the state.
I'm not sure if this was posted previously, but a good signing:
