2025 MBB Recruiting Thread

you haven't even seen Chase Thompson play

stop with the racial stereotypes

.





Here’s nearly 10 minutes of highlights. And it’s almost all 3-pointers and layups.

Kid seems to have a high motor and actually looks like a solid player. And he isn’t a complete stiff. But if you can watch these videos and say he is a plus-athlete you are lying to yourself and this board.

White or not - we desperately need a higher caliber of athlete to improve competitively
 
So, for those more in the know, is there a good chance that Iowa will have two commitments in the next week or so? Thompson isn't a position of need, but he gives quality depth and helps insure against portal transfers out. Some players might be unhappy with playing time, especially at the 3/4 positions. Mosely/Walker is a high position of need, but IMO, a PG is an even more important need, either through recruiting or the portal.
Hard to say. Think will have one by end of September/ beginning of October. Will find out about other prospects in that time frame as well.
My guess is they sign 3 this fall. Speculation, need that high level guard though.

Hopefully he gains an inch or two. And gives Iowa a solid role player.
Agreed on needing better athletes . Need a Mozi, Grady, or big kid from Branson Missouri.
Anyone got an extra 5000000 to throw around .
Personally I’d be looking to add two Mozi types and everything else would be secondary.

The last couple of classes and last year's portal additions include some upgrades in athleticism, but a couple of tough, highly athletic perimeter players could move the ceiling on what Iowa BB has become.

If u look at ISU. They seem to have 4 guys on their roster year in and year out. While Iowa maybe has one or none.
 
24/7 has Chase rated as a 3 star. Rivals has yet to evaluate him.

His only reported offers so far: Toledo, Lehigh, IUPUI, and Cal Poly.

Looks white. As in Aaron White. Long limbed quick jumper. He even runs with hunched shoulders too. Hope he has Aaron’s ball instincts.
 
I don't care two shits about what ISU has on there team. Go over to their board then.

Highlights show a very well rounded player with good size. I think the Aaron White comparison is a good one, but can't judge whether he has White's motor, toughness, and instincts. Fran sure is attracting a lot of PFs. As long as he is the only 4 taken in this class, he looks like a very good addition.

agreed, a bit of an overreaction IMO
I get tired of his constant negativity about the Hawks. Fran doesn't participate in pay-for-play like ISU. Makes it harder to bring in top portal players. That said, I think he brought in two very athletic players in Traore and Thelwell. That said, watch video of Tadjo, he looks athletic, powerful and long.

When talking about White's toughness, I always wondered what % of his points came on either dunks or free throws after trying to get to the hole for a dunk. He was a bulldozer.

White developed an attitude over his college career that also carried over into playing for some top overseas professional teams. By his senior year, White's aggressiveness was incredible. One of my favorite all-time Hawkeyes.

Relax, Boomer.
I am relaxed. Use to be a type "A" personality. Over seven years of retirement I am fairly mellow. But after giving that fricking game away last weekend to the clowns, the last thing I want to hear is how Iowa should do what ISU does in anything.

Oh and by the way Ragnut, you can chirp about baby boomers all you want but I wouldn't trade our generation for anything. Oh by the way, I hope your working hard to pay my SS each month. That's my fun money for travel and buying good bourbon. Cheers!

The greatest generation is my grandparents generation. They actually knew about sacrifice and trying to make things better for future generations.

Your generation has and continues to be self-centered, whiny little bitches. Lucky for you, the pronoun, free-Palestine dumbasses in the upcoming generation is giving you worthless twats a run for your money on worse generation of all time.

Btw, I hate to burst your bubble, but I don’t pay into SS. Got a separate account that money goes into. But not surprising you would wear your generation bankrupting our country and running it into the ground as a badge of honor.

Enjoy your bourbon. 🥃

I am a baby boomer, and would agree that the two generations before me were the greatest generations in the United States, in most respects (except maybe equal rights). I think my generation was the beginning of the entitlement society that IMO got even worse the next generation. I am hopeful that a larger number of the young people today have started to turn that around.

You are disrespectful and do not have a clue about what you are talking about.

No where did I say the greatest generation bonehead. I said I wouldn't trade my generation. I worked hard all my life, didn't ask for anything, I earned it. I maxed out on my SS tax for over 25 years so the money I receive has been earned. I have paid my share of taxes and been generous with my time and wealth for charity. Not sure how that makes me a whiny bitch.

Ah, not paying SS, not surprised.

If someone is working for a company, other than maybe odd jobs, yard work, or criminal activities, 7.65% of their wages, up to a maximum, is being deducted for social security and Medicare. It will show up as FICA on the paystub.

Monday morning speculation on where Iowa sits with recruits

Chase Thompson strong chance at verballing to Iowa
Winters Grady strong up tick in Iowa’s chances. Oregon still a tough beat
Mazi Mosley show me the money? Top bidder gets him imo.
Amari Bynum same as Mazi
Tommy Anhem not sure. Someone else on here supposedly knows his family.
Others that have visited I think chances are remote to nil.

It's 'their' genius, and you should care about being the second best college basketball program in a small state.

Frankly, it should sicken you. On second thought... just eat your ice cream with that stupid f*cking blank look on you face and clap.
