CBS Sports has revised the list of the top 101 players they published earlier. Jarrod, somewhat surprisingly, at least to Iowa fans, did not make the list. Well, he is on it now...
13. Jarrod Uthoff | F | Iowa (PR: 65): It's pretty hard to argue with what Uthoff has been able to do this season, and he does it as one of the rarest, most valuable player-types in all of basketball.
The rim-protecting stretch-four is extremely tough to find, but is also incredibly useful because you can play that type of player next to literally anyone at the 3 and the 5. It makes building your team that much easier. In Iowa's case, the package they've gotten in Uthoff is just too good to be true. He's 18.6 points per game while shooting 50 percent from the field and 45 percent from beyond the 3-point line. Then, throw in the fact that he's also playing strong defense and swatting away 3.3 shots per game, and it's just remarkable.
How remarkable you may be asking? Well, in the last 20 years, no one has made at least 30 3s (the amount Uthoff has already made) at at least a 40 percent clip while also blocking over three shots per game. Not a single player. Iowa has something special in Uthoff, and it's clear he could lead them to greater heights than they've reached yet under Fran McCaffery.
