So you're saying another "comes down to Fran closing" scenario? Agreed, especially since the 5 he's looking at are nowhere near the level that Filip had at the end.
2022 Recruiting (1 Scholarship Left): Jaxon Kohler & Josh Dix VISITED Sep3, Tyler Nickel Sep17. Aidan Shaw VISITED Jun23. Kyle Filipowski to Duke
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
I don't get the comparison to Filipowski's recruitment. Filipowski was like Ulis, a guy Fran identified early but lost when a true blue blood came calling.
Kohler is different. A very good player, but not one that is being recruited by programs Iowa can't hope to compete with.

Filip completely blew up this summer at events. I think perry is saying Kohler's performances lately have the same feel, which may lead to new big time offers.
Iowa offered Jaxon Kohler kind of late, imo, on July 19, 2021.
I am going to offer you some hope.
Click on his name and at the next page look at his 15 offers. The only blue blood is Kansas.
I hope he doesn't like California too much 😉 Otherwise USC could be a problem
Are you saying Iowa was in the driver’s seat until Duke offered? Because that would be news to me.
I'm not saying that, because I do not know. I am saying, by everything I've read, Iowa had a fighting chance until Duke offered.
Two CBS for Nickel to V Tech now including their main message board admin. He visits there this weekend so I suppose he could commit. We need time and him to come back here.
Sweet! What SF prospect that "just blew up last weekend so mid-majors and some high-majors scrambling to get a serviceable commit can offer" will pop up next on the board? Sigh.

Iowa offered Jaden Schutt on June 17, 2020.
He took an Unofficial Visit on June 21, 2021.
Duke did not offer until July 11.
The Illinois kid turned down both Underwood & Izzo. I guess this makes them lazy and horrible recruiters.

Top-50 guard Jaden Schutt has committed to Duke, adding to the Blue Devils' top-ranked 2022 recruiting class.
Schutt visited Durham over the weekend and didn't wait long to make his decision.
"It was just the relationship with the coaching staff; they never really pressured me," Schutt told ESPN. "I just felt I could talk to them about anything, I just enjoyed talking to them. It didn't feel like I was being recruited. They made me feel like a priority, but it felt all genuine. I just believe in coach [Jon] Scheyer and the vision he has for me fits the same vision I have for myself."
Schutt, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard, has been compared to Scheyer, given their heights and shooting ability. They both also are from Illinois.
"It was a huge factor," he said. "We have a lot of similarities. He's the main guy I've been talking to on the phone. Any questions I have for him, he's been great at answering. We talk about things besides basketball; that means a lot. It's a great relationship, I felt comfortable."
Duke offered Schutt in July and immediately moved into the driver's seat for his commitment. The Blue Devils had him atop their board for the shooting guard position, and his visit to their campus last weekend sealed his pledge.
"It was great. I really enjoyed it. My family really enjoyed it," Schutt said. "It kind of just checked all the boxes, from nutrition, strength, performance and all that stuff to on-court stuff. Talking to the coaches down there, seeing everything, all the history. I just enjoyed meeting the players and playing with them, just felt I fit well. They were very welcoming, playing open gym with the guys. It was just a different feel. The players and the coaches all kind of reaching out, saying how much they want me and stuff. It was just different."
Schutt was one of the biggest stock-risers during the July live periods, leading his Illinois Wolves team to the Under Armour Association championship. He established himself as one of the elite 3-point shooters in the 2022 class, making six 3-pointers and scoring 21 points in the championship game. Schutt has good positional size and knows how to move without the basketball.
"I've always felt like I'm someone who gets better month by month," he said. "I feel like I was playing some good basketball, but it wasn't my best. I have a lot to prove. Duke kind of said they don't put people in positions, they let people go out and play basketball. They showed me how they use their guards -- I saw a little bit of coach Scheyer in the videos. They let their shooters have confidence and play loose. That's something I like."
Duke has the No. 1-ranked recruiting class in 2022, with five-stars Dariq Whitehead and Kyle Filipowski already in the fold. Whitehead is the No. 1 small forward in the class (No. 5 overall), and Filipowski is the No. 1 power forward in the class (No. 10 overall). Schutt is ranked No. 47 in 2022.
The Blue Devils aren't done yet in 2022, with the likes of Dereck Lively, J.J. Starling and Mark Mitchell all still on their board.
"It's an honor to be part of such a great class," Schutt said. "That's why you go to Duke, to win championships. To play with the best and play against the best."

Barlow has decided......he's not playing college basketball. Saw something that said he was going to play for some club or something.
Izzo fails to land Filipowski and Schutt. What is going on? Little Tom can't seem to close. Must be a horrible recruiter.
Jaxson needs to understand one thing, and I assume Iowa will show him more of this on film:
Nobody in the country could have set up an offense as friendly for Garza as Fran did. It was spectacular in how they got him the ball in transition, and when not in transition he would get it on the block, in the short corner, on the wing, at the top, and off the pick and roll. Fran knows his players and knows how to work an offense around their strengths to get elite level efficiency out of them and his team even though we don't always have the athletes of other Top 15 programs.
I've watched a ton of basketball over the year's and I'm not saying this as an Iowa homer. This is God's honest truth.
His skillset is so much like Garza that it is scary, but many college teams will not feature a guy like this. They will USE him, but they will not FEATURE him. MSU is unlikely to feature him given what Izzo likes to run and the types of recruits he gets.
Fran also gives his players some freedom in his offense that they seem to enjoy. We have been very high in offensive efficiency as a team under Fran for a reason, and we're doing it without the Top 100 athletes that most others are doing this with. Fran does it with his system, and he ADJUSTS IT TO HIS PLAYERS.
Coaches will say a lot of things to get you to commit. All Fran has to do is SHOW him. There's a ton of evidence on film (and maybe Garza will talk to him).

Absolutely. Show them how Iowa feeds the post players. and show MSU guards jacking shots while their Center stands practically unguarded.
Yea, I'd totally try and make the Fran vs Izzo comparison. TOTALLY holds up, totally. NCAA tourney results, recruiting class rankings, yea, super similar.
It’s not just post play where Fran knows how to best use his guy. Iowa’s had 5 different guys at 4 different positions in the past 8 years make 1st team all conference. They all have different games. Marble is different from Jok who’s different from White who’s different from Garza.
He has faults as a coach, but his number one strength is building an effective offense depending on what his best player can do. He also does this with high assist numbers and without playing isolation ball. That keeps the rest of the team engaged, even if Garza for example is putting up a lot of shots.
Well, Izzo does run a scandalous program where rape allegations get covered up by the AD and him
I like the way Josh Dix just glides around the court, always seeming to be a step ahead. Different players but White when he played for the Hawks had that same understanding of space and finding the opening
Iowa offered Tyler Nickel on June 24, 2020.
He is on an Official Visit to Virginia Tech this weekend.
