Jaylon Gibson - 2020 Recruit

Great.
If he can rebound and bang down low, I hope Iowa gets him. Post depth is a need I see.
How does Fran make room for him? Does this mean Fran expects Garza to keep his name in? This is interesting.
He can move one of his kids to walk on.
Forgot about Connor potentially going back to walk on status. Without that, it’s a legitimate question as the kid probably isn’t going to go somewhere without a scholly.
I just mean that every time Iowa is recruiting a kid, this comes up. But with 2 sons on scholarship, this is very possible.
Haven't seen video, but he looks like he is built like a taller Patrick Mac.
Agreed. Not sure why people freak out about this. If Garza comes back, Gibson could easily redshirt for a year and have open shot at playing time the following year, competing with Nunge and Ogundele. Iowa obviously liked Gibson a lot by offering him, they are familiar with his character and how he would fit in. You have a chance to improve the roster, you do so.
I'm having serious doubts Patrick ever plays again. Hope I'm wrong.
I have thought about this as well. If his body doesn’t respond to strength training very well it is going to be hard to compete at this level. Hope I am wrong on that.
The strong expectation is that Patrick WILL play next year.
I read recently that PM is up to 205 lb now. That would be a big jump from where he was after last fall's relapse.
Exactly, Iowa has a lot to to sell including a possible Final Four, playing with the best big man in the country next year, and I think he’d get playing time as the third big man.
Gibson would be the most impressive 2020 recruit based on other offers including his initial offers prior to his commitment to WF.
Fran recently said he will be playing next season so that means you are...well, you know.
Thanks for sharing video. Could see great length, good mobility, and even some pretty good ballhandling. That would be a good fit to Fran's up and down style. Could not tell from the video whether he has any shot. He looks like he could add strength, even if he probably wouldn't bulk up much. Right now, he would get pushed around near the basket in the B1G.

I'll be, well, you know...when we see him take the floor next season.
What else is Fran gonna say-"He's not playing next season"?
If they knew he wasn't playing next season...why wouldn't he? If his career was over, why not say it's over so other recruits understand that?
Louisville article on him....seems as though they want him in the post...but every indication is that the kid has the mobility to play all over the floor and Fran's style seems a better fit......but is it to far from home?

JFC, lets keep the cart behind the horse.
Iowa has many very good parts and potential but once any team gets into the final 32 anything can happen for one game.
They don't know if he's playing or not next season. One poster has said Fran said he is playing but I've seen nothing to that affect and I don't think Fran even knows 6 months from opening night. It's easier to keep that info from recruits when you have two sons that could be declared walk-ons to open up more schollys.
I understand it's a medical thing (privacy) and it's Fran's own son but it's not like he was very forthcoming with Patrick's condition this past season.
McC has not dodged questions about PMac. Lots of stuff out there, especially earlier in the year. I just read a Gazette article from January that gave a lot of info. Maybe you just forgot?
I thought he lost some weight last fall before (or after) he was pulled from playing.
We will certainly have bulk in the middle with Ogundele. I read he is now 6'11" 275 lbs with a 6'11" wingspan.
Could be-Living out of state I don't get much Hawkeye info outside of this site unless I go surfing for it which I don't do that often. Hope he does play-from just those 3 games he did play this past season you can see he has talent.
Check the CR Gazette: https://www.thegazette.com/subject/sports/hawkeyes. They are a decent source for Hawkeye stuff.
Someone might want to send this young man some
