Just can't shoot blanks, Fran. You've worked hard to get so many of these guys to Iowa City. You, or someone in the program, needs to land some of these guys.

Dasonte
Josh Dix....very likely

and a big.

That would put us at the maximum 13 on scholarship.

The question is, do we dare try to over sign since there are so many unknowns with who might leave early (Keegan?), the transfer portal, etc?

I say yes as long as there are players willing to forego their scholarships, i.e., coach's sons.

I like Wessler. A lot. He's a shot blocker and has a lot of moves offensively.

I also like Yalden as well. Either would be a good addition.

Could of signed one more had Fran not given Austin Ash a scholarship.

Still have an extra.

Think.

We are recruiting for 2022, Ash’s scholarship will be available then. I doubt whether Fran would add anyone else for 2021.

Exactly but, if he wanted to, he could. That is my point but some posters just.don’t.get.it. if Iowa needed/wanted to add more to the roster, they could. But they don't.

100% predicted immediately after Iowa offered Sheppard that all the big boys would be involved eventually. Pat on the back

I also like Yalden as well. Either would be a good addition.

He needs to drop 30-40lbs, but he does have old school skills.

According to that article, Iowa hasn't signed anyone in the Rival's Top 150 of either 2021 or 2022 while several B1G conference schools (including Northwestern and Nebraska) have multiple signings. If we want success in the league and the sport overall, Is this sustainable?

Pryce Sandfort, Payton’s younger brother, receives his first D1 offer. I’ll bet an Iowa offer is coming eventually.

just a matter of time

I believe he played PG as a freshman on Varsity. I like to see that he will have some of those skills in his game, even though he will be a 3 likely.

I wonder if he is done growing

Gonzaga is showing interest now.

Nice story.

When Fran was not watching Tyler Nickel last weekend, he was watching Pryce Sandfort.

 

[Franisdaman]

So far Drake is the only school to offer Pryce Sandfort.

Expect an Iowa offer soon, based on this:
