Unfortunately, being early to the party hasn't paid off so well for us in the past.
Hasn't paid off every time, but did with the 2020-21 National POY.Unfortunately, being early to the party hasn't paid off so well for us in the past.
Gosh didn't we just secure a commitment from a recruit who liked that we were the first to offer and we stayed with him? (Bowen)Unfortunately, being early to the party hasn't paid off so well for us in the past.

I'm not a fan of Kansas in anyway, but put yourself in the place of a Blueblood. You get mostly top targets, and if you offer a backup too soon you have to slow play them, or risk ending up with a player you didn't really want.
We get what appears to be his last visit for the summer? I like where that stands. If we make the final cut and then have him back in the fall for a football game with a great atmosphere...I think that we could be right in the running for his services.Iowa offered Kyle Filipowski on June 18, 2020.
He is supposed to be visiting Iowa City the first week in July.
The competition is rather stiff.
The original post has been updated.
Iowa got its PG but as an fyi, Seth Trimble, who Iowa offered on April 26, 2021, has committed to North Carolina.
Iowa has made 28 offers in this class; 7 have committed elsewhere.
Great scoop Fran!
It’s almost like I just read that literally the post preceding yours.
Keep up the good work!!
Iowa offered Josh Dix on April 21, 2021.
This is from yesterday.
42 inch max vertical?

The Wessler kid seems to have come a long long ways in his development over the last year based on video.Iowa offered Patrick Wessler on May 11, 2021.
They hope to get the 7 foot center on campus this fall.

Sooo, I LOVE this not solely based on the display of his athletic ability...but the aggressiveness/confidence and assertiveness that goes with it. When you combine skill, athletic ability, and that aggressive confidence it seems like you are in business. I have been interested in Craft and Schutt (implication of being better players) and thought that they had more national recognition....but what I am seeing from this kid I am starting to be a believer that he is as good or better than those two.....
Question: why is Fran targeting a big man in 2022 with Mulvey already in the fold and coming in next year, as well as Ogundele who should be a contributor within a couple of years? He seems to really like Wessler, but Wessler looks a lot like Mulvey, and we need to be done with the two big lineups… unless Fran really isn’t confident in JO
If it’s me, I take a SG (Dix/Kraft), a wing or forward (Filipowski/Shaw/Reed/Aligbe/Nickel) and then roll over that last scholarship to the next class unless you can get two of the aforementioned guys
Appreciate the thoughtful and totally not snarky response to my serious questionSure

Iowa offered 2022 Shooting Guard Jaden Schutt over a year ago, on June 17, 2020. He took an Unofficial Visit on June 21, 2021.
Kirk Speraw is at the Ridgewood Live Basketball Shootout to watch him and:
* 2023 Center Owen Freeman, who Iowa offered on June 1, 2021.
* 2023 Shooting Guard Cam Christie, who Iowa offered on June 15, 2021.
As you can see, he is a HIGH PRIORITY for Michigan State. Izzo was there watching for a 2nd straight day.
Brad Underwood does not want to lose this Illinois native; he was there watching.
And Jaden Impressed. Again.
