We have landed Bowen & Mulvey in this class. Mulvey, of course, reclassified to 2021.
We likely land Dix.
That's 2, and very likely 3, players right there.
So, has Fran really struck out this year?
Has he really whiffed on all of "these dudes?"

Honestly, he got Mulvey for next year so probably should not be included. Fran has gotten more than a few highly rated guys to come in and look at us, that's moving in the right direction. Now close on 1 or more, that's what the Hawks need
Iowa offered Kyle Filipowski on June 18, 2020.
He visited on July 1 and 2.
He is playing well at Peach Jam.

Used to be that an Iowa player could never win big awards because there 'wasn't the exposure" that they would get at a blue blood. That is no longer true. I think Iowa does have more to sell since McC has been here.
6'10" good shooting center from the East Coast? Where have I heard that story before?
Top 100 maybe. Everyone offered so far, I'm leaning towards at least 1 commit.
i have a gut feeling about Shaw... or it could be the sushi i had for lunch.
A nice article written by an Iowa recruit always means that recruit will go to Iowa
If Iowa cools on Shaw, this could be a hypothetical reason....dirtier people getting involved? Only reason it crossed my mind was coaches not watching him this weekend but perhaps they had conflicts. Unlikely, but did cross my mind.
I think right now with Shaw Iowa is right there, but I think Arkansas is going to be where he ends up.... but Iowa is right there. Hoping for a bad visit to Arkansas
I've tried sushi like 20 times over the last 15 years and I just don't like it. I think I'm done trying.
Fair enough. If you ever get a chance to try fresh caught sushi or sashimi, I suggest giving it one more try. I was down in Tamarindo Costa Rica where a guy on the trip caught a 300 lb yellowfin. This fish blew me away by how good it was. The freshness was on a different level.
I will facetiously say this is all your fault fran. I am perfectly happy with Mulvey and especially Bowen, but you keep teasing us with all these 4 star players that are actually visiting Iowa City this year and I am anxious to see if we can actually sign any of them, especially the bigs. If ALL of these guys wind up leaving us as the bridesmaid again, I think McCaffery needs to change his staff to find a younger guy who not only can close the deal with these recruits, but also coach some defense.
I actually liked his remarks about Iowa commenting that there was a lot of chemistry among the players and they were really a tight family situation
I will try and keep that in mind if I'm in that position. Thanks for info.
I thought that sounded really encouraging as well.
Ho, hum. Just 2 more dominating performances by our future PG.
TJ Power: a 2023 prospect who Iowa has offered.
Note that Bronny James, son of Lebron, laid an egg.

fake news. the interviewer was listing schools and couldn't remember all of them. Aidan said iowa and mizzou right away in response. went on with further complimentary comments. don't think you could really read anything into any of his answers.
Honest question...If Bowen is looking so good at these tournys, why is Rivals moving him down the list of PG's? Is this another case of Iowa signing syndrome?

Exactly, and thats how we got Mulvey.... just sayin....
OMG, it's happening!!!
Iowa offered Tyler Nickel on June 24, 2020.
Fran & Kirk were watching him this weekend.
He has scheduled an official visit Sep 17-19.

Yep.
See prior post. I reported that yesterday.
And, as always, the thread title is current as well.
I thought about creating a new thread on this development yesterday but did not think it was necessary.
@skydog0784
I agree with you. Iowa has been recruiting Tyler Nickel long and hard; they offered on June 24, 2020. Blue bloods like UNC were late to the party.
Why do you like our chances vs North Carolina? Simply because we offered earlier?
Some have argued in this thread that Fran will only be considered successful and a fantastic recruiter if he actually lands a Kyle Filipowski or a Tyler Nickel. It's cool to see you feel otherwise.

Several posters have agreed with you in this thread, where they give Fran credit for having a fantastic eye for talent, but not being a fantastic recruiter.
You stated that so many times he’s identified kids as freshman or sophomores and he offers and then they blow up and go elsewhere. You said that Cook and Garza are the only major recruits he’s closed the deal on that didn’t have Iowa ties so far. I would argue that we can add Dasonte Bowen to your list.

We’ll see if he blows up into a top 100 / 4 star recruit. Until then he isn’t in that list with Cook and Garza, he’s on par with Basabe, Moss, etc.
@DodgerHawki
With only 2 scholarships remaining and one likely going to SG Jos Dix, we have just one scholarship left for a big. Hopefully we land Filipowski, Shaw or Nickel.
There has been some bitching in this thread about who Fran has landed and not landed so for for 2022. I would say the results are not too bad. So far, of course, Fran has landed his PG, in Dasonte Bowen, and a big, in Riley Mulvey (who then decided to reclassify to to 2021). If he lands Dix, which is likely, that will be another nice piece to this class.
