I think Nunge will be the best player in this coming class. He's got a pretty three point shot, can dribble drive, and is very long. He's a stretch 4 or possibly a stretch 5, a la Kaminsky, if he puts on some weight. Nunge played against basically a D1 small forward with good handles and can pass. His name is Aaron Henry and he basically played point guard in the half court offense. He repeatedly got around Nunge for layups but Nunge didn't have any help defense either. I don't think Nunge will be a bad defensive player when he gets to Iowa. He won't be pulled away from the basket as often and the help defense should be better. I looked up Aaron Henry because I was impressed and look at that, Iowa has shown interest. Henry looks like a guy that can initiate the half court offense with the dribble drive and finish or pass it off. Something Iowa really needs.

Henry said he allows his coaches and parents to handle his recruitment at this point. He already has an offer from IUPUI and took a visit to Indiana State during the season. Big Ten programs Iowa and Michigan State have shown some early interest, as well as Detroit and Oakland.

Aaron Henry also has offers from Ball State, Bradley, Indiana State, Milwaukee, Toledo, and Northern Kentucky. He's a Class of 2018 prospect.

I should be join the Iowa recruiting staff; ) Apparently, Aaron Henry got better offers. He just commited to Michigan St. Damn, Fran should have offered him. He punished Nunge in that game. That dude is a tremendous passer/decision maker. He's going to be a thorn in Iowa's side.
