Iowa offered Cameron Christie on June 15,2021.


What do you think Fran is saying to Izzo?


Check this out & Watch:

 

[perryhawk]

Fran: We really enjoyed kicking your ass this last season. Izzo: Why don't you get out of this league, go back to Siena, your starting to bother me.

 

[icwesthawk]

I don't wear shorts because you and Underhill () over there look stupid. Maybe that's why I out recruit both of you...

Wha.....???

Izzo looks like he's about to try and sell you home stereo equipment at a going out of business Best Buy.

 

[Knothole Hawk]

That's that green shirt. Not a flattering look Cameron, the ladies like Black and Gold.

 

[Franisdaman]

Attention, recruits!

Iowa offered Taylor Bowen on April 2, 2020.

Iowa was his FIRST high major offer.


Taylor plays on the same high school (Brewster Academy) and AAU team (Expressions Elite) as Dasonte Bowen (2022 PG Commit) and Reed Bailey (2022 PF, who Iowa offered).

Here is the latest on his recruitment.

 

[icwesthawk]

So, we're out?

 

[Fitzhawk]

So, we're out?

The way his recruiting trended essentially the moment after Iowa offered.... yea, I think we can all save some time and not read the Taylor Bowen updates

 

[Franisdaman]

Iowa offered Shooting Guard Parker Friedrichsen on July 25, 2021.


Here is the latest, from @Blair Sanderson:

 

[Franisdaman]

The No. 1 in-state 2023 prospect is now a Rivals 4 Star and is ranked No. 100 overall in the class.


An Iowa offer has to be coming soon....

 

[icwesthawk]

What can Fran possibly be waiting on to offer him?

 

[perryhawk]

What can Fran possibly be waiting on to offer him?

That’s a great question…..oh how I wish I knew what the inside information was on recruiting! I wonder if there isn’t already a clear understanding with this young man that an offer is on the table….but because most would assume that he wants to play with his brother, the young man wants to see what other offers he would get if Iowa hasn’t offered? Maybe that’s crazy 😜but clearly there could be and probably has been communication that we don’t know about.

 

[Franisdaman]

What can Fran possibly be waiting on to offer him?

You could say that to a lot of schools

Drake is the only school to offer. They pulled the trigger on July 17.

 

[Ronman]

I think a lot of these kids look upon offers as a bit of a badge of honor. They like to point out how many offers they get. If McCaffery has any intention of recruiting Pryce, he should probably offer, sooner rather than later.

Another case study, @Hawkstrat

 

[Hawkstrat]

I never argued that Iowa lands many ranked out of staters. I did wonder why an Iowa fan would respond to an update the way you did. You seem defensive and strange.

For instance, I don't think the FB team has the offensive chops to compete for the playoffs. I don't make it a point to flood the message board with that opinion whenever someone talks Iowa's ranking.

I am strange, yes, thanks for noticing.

Not gonna be fair to Fran to compare him to Kirk in any regard, or their respective teams.

I am liking this trend of recruiting kids whose names are nouns.

Hunger
Rock
Winter
Bear (Cedar Falls kid who visited over the weekend)

With a history of success from guys like Marble, Street, and Earl, this is an encouraging trend.

Isn't Freeman a PF?

Isn't Freeman a PF?

but right now he's listed as a center

Oh, I have just read articles referring to hom as a pf. IMHO, all centers and power forwards pretty much play the same in what McC teaches.

from what I saw, he can shoot/score from anywhere; I love how he rebounds & cleans up misses as well. and i wonder if he is done growing
