Cameron Fens Unofficially Visited the Weekend of Oct 17, 2021. Class of 2022, 6'10" Center
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Scholarship potential or has Rivals just not gotten off their ass to rate him?
Yikes. I know Duax was their stud, but would have thought they’d take better advantage of an efficient post.

Comes from a good pedigree, too. His dad played for Northern Illinois late 80s early 90s, starting as a junior and senior.
I think it's the terminology. Unofficially visited isn't the same as an unofficial visit. Unofficially almost needs to be in air quotes, "unoffically", like it was a secret visit.
That’s a big strong kid just starting his senior year….should be interesting to see what happens.
its typical for Rivals to be behind on basketball prospect ratings
it took them forever to rate Josh Dix; they eventually slapped a 3 star on him
@perryhawk can attest to this
so, you want to give her a full ride?
Yeah, nothing really "funny" about him taking a visit to Iowa this weekend. The only thing funny is how a Legendary troll occasionally shows up here offering nothing to the discussion.
As you can see in the original post, Cameron wrote in his tweet he was on an unofficial visit, which means he/his parents paid their own way. If he were on an official visit, Iowa pays the bills.
Unless he is a late bloomer, probably a walk-on opportunity. Iowa is pretty deep with young big men and, with Freeman on board for the following year and the portal, there shouldn't be any sense of desperation.
Probably a good bet. IF Keagan Murray and Filip Rebraca have NBA worthy seasons then an extra big man in the fold for 2022-23 would be a good idea.
See the link to Tom's story below.
As you can see:
* Iowa started their recruitment of Fens about a month ago
* Iowa coaches went a couple times (Fran, the 2nd time) to watch him practice.
* Iowa is his dream school
* During his visit, Fran gave him tips on how to continue to improve his recruitment.
* Right now Iowa is not offering a scholarship, but they will be continuing to recruit him and watch him this season. and see where things stand in the spring.

Looks like he's really starting to fill out, going from 6'9" 215 now listed at 6'11" 250 lbs. It'll be interesting to see him perform this season. He's the only player on Hempstead (as far as I know) who's taller the 6'3".
Going to need to see more pics of mom to determine if he should get a scholly or not!
I'd say she's about 5'3" or 5'4". Cameron is listed at 6'10-11" and his dad's height at NIU was 6'8" and looks like he hasn't shrunk much.
I don't want to speak for the legendary Legend, but in my mind when you see the kid decked out in the Iowa uni and several "basketball" pictures taken, it looks like more than an "unofficial visit."
That said, I hope we have told the kid we are keeping our eyes on him and don't make a committable offer. He has one other Div. II school looking at him. No offense to Mr. Fens but we should be at the point that we aren't recruiting kids as projects. I would rather keep looking for a wing scorer or eat the scholly unless McCaffery definitely sees something very positive in this kid.

Unofficial visit simply means he/his parents paid their own way.

My business partner’s son was just in an official to Iowa as well as many other schools and they all do this. Throw a uniform on him, take pics, take a few with the fam, and use it as marketing. Whether they plan on offering or not has no bearing on that.
Hoping to get some updates on the several other basketball visitors. There were quite a few that have not been mentioned.
did you read this article?
it pretty much spells it out

Had not heard that. Guess I just missed it. Could you reveal names for the uninformed like me please? Thanks

I believe these 3 guys were in attendance along with Pryce Sandfort, Parker Freidrichson, and Cam Fens.
That's a pretty big group and it would be nice to get some updates!

I saw a piece on additional visitors but it didn't contain any substance. It just said they were reportedly visiting and who had offered them.
Why in the world would you make fun of a recruit’s appearance? How does that help? Please post a picture of yourself so we can pick you apart!Pryce got an offer, and is being courted by the likes of Gonzaga (at least at this juncture).
Boden Kapke looks a little like he came from the tall side of the oompa loompa family tree:
I would guess he would be offered a preferred walk on opportunity and that's about it
agree?
Dad looks like a big dude, and Mom looks like she could be his sister......
Why make comments about Fen's Mom, some of you guys are pathetic. Show some respect and grow up.
