[Franisdaman]

Iowa offered Richard Isaacs on June 15, 2020. He is a 6'2", 180 lb PG out of Mt Pleasant, UT.

Good job on the title this time.

In the 2nd tweet: Alex is a National HS Basketball Analyst. Dribble penetration and breaking down defenses is something @BlackNGoldBleeder is looking for.


Meanwhile, here are a few highlights from April.

He'd look great throwing alley oops to Omaha Biliew. 😁

There are certainly better programs than Iowa competing for Nickel, Isaacs, and Filipowski. But unless Duke offers Filipowski, the competition is relatively manageable.

Have no idea and don't want to get hopes up, but would be nice to land at least one of these guys.

Here are some more highlights from last Thanksgiving.

Check this out & Watch:

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

We're getting some nice visits. Let's translate some into players.

My God the attention Luka earned Iowa.

 

[unoHawkeye]

I wonder what kind of conversations Fran is having with class of 22 PG’s. They would come in with Toussaint as a senior and Ulis as a junior, then (likely) be behind Ulis the following year, with Perkins as the 2.

Obviously if they are good enough they play, but I’m curious if it’s a big obstacle to signing a PG in the class

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

He'd look great throwing alley oops to Omaha Biliew. 😁

Man it’d be awesome to get Omaha and this kid. Fran would probably contend for a Big 10 Title with a roster of Keegan, Omaha, Josh O, Kris, Perkins, Ulis, Isaacs, both the Sandfort brothers, PMac, Mulvey, and 8th year senior Jordan Bohannon.

Post of the day 🤣

 

[Franisdaman]

As you probably saw, Iowa offered SG AJ Storr today. He just so happens to play on the same AAU team as PG Richard Isaacs Jr., who, of course, plans to visit Iowa in June.

Iowa needs a PG & SG in this class.

Package deal?

Here are some highlights from May 22 of Isaacs & Storr.

I just think he doesnt want to be blindsided and saw how that went over the weekend.

You say that as if Fran hasn’t offered higher rates recruits previously. Fran has offered higher rated recruits and does all he can to get them to come to Iowa. Unfortunately, it’s the recruits decision in the end.

 

[Ronman]

Looks like a lot of physical contact allowed at that tournament. The guys would feel right at home in the B1G.

 

[TrianglePlace]

Some believe the only reason top recruits don't come to Iowa is because KF and Fran don't care about talent. They just want players they can control - or something idiotic like that.

Terrible comparison, KF landed six 4 stars in the '21 class.

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

Terrible comparison, KF landed six 4 stars in the '21 class.

And he brought in arguably a top 5 OL class.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Terrible comparison, KF landed six 4 stars in the '21 class.

Only 6? Why not all of them? Why not more 5*'s? (sarcasm),

It's not a comparison - both coaches get plenty of grief for not recruiting better. But I believe both programs put great effort into recruiting.

As I mentioned, Richard Isaacs Jr (far left) and AJ Storr (far right) are AAU teammates.

This PG / SG package deal would be pretty sweet and leave us with 1 scholarship remaining.

One can dream....

This is beyond refreshing to hear. Fran does things the right way and that’s priority #1.

when the Adidas scandal broke, I am pretty sure it was Fran Frachilla who said during a game that you would never hear Fran McCaffery mentioned on (or on) a Federal wire tap

 

[Franisdaman]

Iowa offered PG Richard Isaacs on June 15, 2020.

Iowa offered SG AJ Storr on May 25, 2021.

AJ and Richard play on the same LOADED AAU team. Package deal?


Richard is #2 in gray; AJ is #4.

Why the offer to Trimble? Is their something there?
Was it due to King committing to ISU? Was King our only real shot? If yes, then why the offer to Trimble now?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Offer them all and sign them all so we can win a national championship!!!!

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

While we’re at it, Lebron James isn’t up to anything useful. Nor is Steph Curry. How about they come to Iowa to win a national championship?

Why offer a highly ranked guard from a state that borders Iowa?

Your last question makes sense as the offer to Trimble should have been made months ago.

 

[herkhatescy]

I’m on board with these offers. Is Fran learning?

He's just trying to capitalize on the national attention that the Hawks got from Luka.

 

[AJBHawkeye]

not to be a downer, but what makes anyone think that Fran will land any of these kids?

 

[TrianglePlace]

I tend to think he has a punchers chance with anyone that schedules an OV to Iowa. The favorite? Probably only with Bowen at this point but recruiting is fluid.

 

[jthawk]

not to be a downer, but what makes anyone think that Fran will land any of these kids?

Good point. We should probably just cancel the visits to save money and time.

 

[Rifler]

You're being a downer again...

Ya thats what I meant. "Rolls eyes"

Well what did you mean by "Why the offer to Trimble"?

 

[MepoDawg#]

not to be a downer, but what makes anyone think that Fran will land any of these kids?

Can’t land any of them if he doesn’t offer. What’s your point? He’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t with some.
