A senior guard for Rock Island, Amarion Nimmers, scored 45 points in that game, but is apparently just a mid-major recruit at best.Maybe.

Way to wear a mask, Jack
Man he resembles an old Dennis Geraghty big man player from Hempstead back in the Jeff Arneson ish days.
You should tell Papa Fens that. And then tell him she might want to try a real man for a change of pace
Did you not respond about Fran teaching his kids how to shoot? You brought up 3 very good shooters for the Hawks. I noted 4 that were not. Ogelsby was supposed to be good.
The post I replied to was regarding 3 pt shooting. Can you name any coach who can teach ALL of their players to be good 3-pt shooters? Sometimes players just don't have the natural ability to shoot the 3 pt shot consistently well. My examples were meant to add balance regarding the post I replied to. What was the purpose of your post? To troll me?
The way I took it you were trying to show Fran's ability to teach shooters because someone posted his own boys can't shoot. You picked 3 players that were pretty good shooters coming in. I picked 3 that were not and were not taught to be good shooters and one that was supposed to a good shooter and was not for Iowa. I was trying to add balance to your post, is that not fair?
Again, it was specifically about 3-pt shooting so no, your post made little sense. Here is the original post I replied to:
Why even bring this up except to troll Iowa fans?
There are cases of some players getting better and some getting worse at consistently scoring from the 3 pt line. Most of that is on the players themselves or their natural talent. But I am sure that the staff tries to help them improve. Do you think they don't?
Unfortunately I think it relates more to recruiting than coaching. It's rare that a poor 3-pt shooter comes out of HS and becomes a great shooter. Of course, there are examples where extreme dedication and hard work can make a difference. But not sure how often we will see that at Iowa. 🙁
What's interesting to me is how much of a decline Connor McCaffery has had. As a senior in HS he shot 41% from behind the arc (57/139), and 83.6% from the line (143/171).
You wonder what the heck has happened to him in that domain.
Agreed. Especially since teams sag/help off of him. Has to be mental.
He's close. He had a good night with Fran McCaffery watching this evening.
I see he’s unrated at this point. Is he a bit of a late bloomer in your opinion?
I don't handle any of the rankings with Rivals. Basically if the folks who do the eval and rankings saw him last year they could give him a star value. Now, I think he's been completely overlooked. He has a big frame, not a skinny kid, but he's also gotten into better shape. Honestly, he probably should have plenty of mid-major offers already, but it's taken time. Now he has mid major and high major schools kicking the tires.
Cameron is an Iowa fan, so he's partial to the Hawkeyes. He's going to stay patient with the process and see what happens. My sense is Iowa's going to have something for him to consider this spring.
Thanks! I remember his dad playing for NIU Huskies late 80s early 90s and being pretty impressed with him during his junior and senior years. If Cameron had a similar success, I'd be okay with it.
With the 3 point line being shorter in high school, not that big of a surprise. His form really kills him shooting the basketball at a consistent percentage.
No offense to the young man, but we need to be pursuing (and landing!) bigger fish if we are going to compete in the B1G. Whatever we are doing now in the name of recruiting, needs to be scrapped and McCaffery needs to hire a younger (or at least persuasive) guy that can relate to and entice some better players to give Iowa a shot.
Tom lists Cameron as 2023; but he's 2022 unless he's going to Prep School (he participated in Senior Night on Feb 18).
