- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
I believe that the crowds at the womens game and wrestling matches show that the fans are there.
for the most part true, but Iowa very, very seldom get these guys
Looks like a Texas Tech or Kansas get.Iowa offered Aidan on Oct 25, 2019.
He visited Iowa on June 22-23, 2021.
He committed to Missouri on Sep 17, 2021.
Iowa was part of his original Top 6:
Aidan originally had 17 offers:
His Top 6 were:
IOWA
Missouri
Kansas
Arkansas
Oklahoma State
Maryland
11 Other Offers:
Texas Tech
Texas

Kansas State
Iowa State
Creighton
Nebraska
TCU
Wichita State
Wake Forest
Vanderbilt
Now that is a rumor I can get behind!
Worth mentioning that 2 Mizzou players entered the portal today:
Javon Pickett (Sr, G): 32 mins, 11/3/2
Trevon Brazile (FR, F): 21.5 mins, 6.5/5
Will be interesting to see if any other players transfer out--I'd imagine a kid like Shaw would want to play for a competitive team, but who knows.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw them all pass out at Heyn's ice cream.
I guess it's pretty serious.
This is on par with what he usually says.
A national writer on 247 thinks that Iowa, OK State and Mizzou have the best shot and we should be hearing more in the next few days.
Aidan is 1 of 4 high schoolers who will be at the Final 4 to win a championship!!! @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset
He'd be such a perfect fit for Iowa's offense and defense. Absolutely perfect!
Knew he had great size and athleticism, looking so good shooting from deep really makes him perfect!
he has the mid range jumper, the 3, and the step back 3. and he has a quick release.
he runs the floor really well. he plays defense & is a rim protector.
I agree; he's perfect for Iowa and is exactly what we need.
Were Iowa to be able to get him, would immediately put a different twist on next year. Being able to have both he and Kr. Murray on the floor at the same time would present a whole host of problems for opponents defending Iowa.
It will be interesting to see if Missouri can hold on to him.
From the article that follows, it is unclear what schools other than Missouri have contacted Aidan since he reopened his recruitment.
From the Columbia Missourian:
Missouri men’s basketball target Aidan Shaw told the Missourian via Twitter that he hasn’t set a date for his commitment, but he “would say in April sometime.”
Shaw signed his letter of intent with the Tigers but was granted his release when it was announced that former Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin would not return. The program announced it was parting ways with Martin on March 11 and officially hired new coach Dennis Gates on Tuesday.
While they haven’t talked since Gates was officially announced as the new coach at a press conference Tuesday, Shaw said the pair have spoken. The four-star recruit said Gates was planning on scheduling a visit to see him.
Shaw committed to Missouri on Sept. 17. He had offers from the Tigers, Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma State and Maryland. It is unclear what teams have reached out to Shaw since he reopened his recruitment.

I agree it would be a huge positive for next year, but how often does Iowa get "that" guy.
Tyler Cook did happen. Bowen also had a lot of options. If I'm Shaw, seeing how Keegan Murray blossomed in Fran's system would be attractive.

Coach's comment
"It was a joy coaching and being around Aidan on a daily basis," Blue Valley coach Dwight Williams said. "Watching him grow as a player and person has been very rewarding as a coach. Aidan does a bit of everything on the court. He fills up the stat board in every area. He alters and blocks shots on the defensive end and was a leader on defense for us the past three years. He also is a great finisher at the rim with his high-flying dunks and can shoot extremely well from three. He is a versatile player that makes everyone around him better. He is truly a great player and person. I cannot wait to see what he does in his next chapter."

Arkansas making the Elite 8 is huge for them both now & moving forward.
Is Arkansas the best program in the SEC right now?
Probably not, have to see a few more consistent years. Though Musselman does seem like a solid coach. Kentucky will always be the team to beat as long as Cal keeps bringing in his talent.
The Razorbacks were in the Elite 8 last year too. Lost to Baylor to go to Final 4.
This is Musselman's 3rd year at Arkansas.
Kentucky is the traditional blue blood but compare Kentucky to Arkansas the last 2 years.
Kentucky
2021: 9-16, 8-9, 8th in SEC, Not Part of NCAA Tourney
2022: 26-8, 14-4, T-2nd in SEC, 1st Round Loss in NCAA Tourney
Arkansas
2021: 25-7, 13-4, 2nd in SEC, ELITE 8
2022: 28-8, 13-5, 4th in SEC, ELITE 8
This is a wasted thread...There is 0% chance he will be wearing black and gold.
An April timeline bodes well for IA (and OSU and AR). For some reason I think he wants substantial PT so AR is out. For some reason I think it’s between us and OSU. I like our chances.
