Thanks for the link. He reminds me of Fredricks. He looks like a natural 2G. If we were to add Pryce and Friedrichsen we'd be taking our 2G to the next level. Fran has done great with the Big's. IMO to get to the next level we need our guards to step up to a similar level. I think Bowen is a good start.
I am really kind of hoping we offer Harding. Seems like he would be a really good complimentary player.
As I mentioned above, Iowa is keeping an eye on/ has interest in Brock Harding.
Kirk Speraw watched him play in a game in person on Jan 12, 2022. Brock then visited Iowa the NEXT DAY for the Jan 13, 2022 Indiana game.
Owen Freeman seems to like him. Owen is #32 in the videos that follow from this past weekend's NY2LA Sports Swish N’ Dish.
Brock has at least 7 offers now: Loyola-Chicago, Western Illinois, SE Missouri State, Illinois State, Drake, Colorado State and Bradley.
Check these out & Watch:

Brock Hardy looks really quick with the dribble but I don't think his skills translate well measured against Big Ten competition, hence is offer list. The league is stacked with quick guards who can defend him and at 6ft0 155 lbs would likely be a matchup liability on defense. Maybe he would walk-on?
I would like to see Fran move more in the direction of recruiting guards in the same mold as Perkins.

Good for him. Makes sense to take the scholarship offer at Illinois State or wherever and maybe play his way into a bigger program in a few years.
More Bowen Born maybe? Really quick and skilled, but small. Will likely excel at the appropriate level.
Not even the same type of player as J-Bo. He's closer to 5-10 than 6-0 and thin framed. Really hope Iowa does not offer him.
Fran was watching Pryce Sandfort last night & Sherm was watching JQ Roberts at the Adidas 3SSB (3 Stripes Select) event that is being held from April 8-10 in Indianapolis, IN.
Iowa offered Pryce Sandfort on Oct 16, 2021 when he was on a visit.
Iowa offered JaQualon Roberts on Oct 29, 2021. He unofficially visited on Dec 21, 2021 for the SE Louisiana game.

Iowa offered Owen on June 1, 2021. He officially visited the weekend of Oct 8, 2021. 3 days later he committed to Iowa (Oct 11, 2021). He unofficially visited on Dec 21, 2021 for the SE Louisiana game.
Fran beat out Purdue and Michigan State (and several other schools) for Owen. Nevertheless, look who showed up.

Maybe that's why the other coaches were there. Not to watch our recruit
