One week after making his official visit to Iowa, Josh Dix decided he has seen enough of the recruiting process andiowa.n.rivals.com
He sure did want to be a Hawk!When head coach Fran McCaffery stopped by my school to see me on Thursday, he asked me if I had any more questions for him. I had one thing to say:
"I just want to be a Hawkeye."
"McCaffery sees me as a Joe Wieskamp/Devyn Marble type of player. He thinks that I can play 1-3, handle the ball, start the break, and then on defense he thinks I can be versatile and guard points guards, guards, wings and even some 4s.
That all sounds great to me.
I can’t wait to get there. We’re going to keep the success going."
This is a really nice story from the Register on why he committed to Iowa.

Welcome Josh! Really nice backcourt in the 2022 class. Add a big, like Kohler, and a talented/athletic wing, and this would put Iowa good place for several years.
This. I really like the 2 guards who are already committed to Iowa.
Great commit. Strikes me as a guy who isn’t going to force stuff but will slice you up depending on what you give him. Above average to good athlete with good length. Great 1-2 guard court, if Fran can land his man on the front line this will end up being his most balanced class top to bottom.
I really like this commit. Good for Fran for closing the deal.
That said, I am trying to shake off comparisons in my mind to other 6-5 guards from Iowa named Josh. (Not that previous 6-5 Joshes from Iowa have been terrible, just that I am hoping for better.)

Right! I forgot about him. I even googled Iowa guard Josh and his name didn't come up, so I guess that Google forgot him, too😉
Sorry to be debbie downer but he’s not close to fredrick in passing or ball handling.
Good stroke, length.
Dix is just a incoming HS Senior. Fredrick is a Junior in college. Dix, if your comments are even accurate, has a few years to improve.
Fredrick is 4 years older than Dix. As you can see below, Dix is 1 inch taller and 20 lbs heavier than CJ coming out of high school.
It's hard to believe CJ signed with Iowa in Aug 2017 and was willing to walk on because he wanted to play for Fran so badly.
Dix is a bigger, stronger, more athletic player than CJ….CJ is a better shooter and very crafty. Two different players….loved CJ’s game but in my opinion Dix has a higher ceiling.
I wouldn't consider Frederick to be a great passer or ball handler. If he was it never translated to high assists or dribble drives for a score. He was/is a shooter. Nothing more, nothing less.
Absolutely this.....I think we all loved CJ's game and he was tough but injury prone. It happens. The upside with Dix's game going into his senior year is far bigger...imo. His skill set is so broad, smooth player and has better hops than CJ does. Physically bigger than CJ already....like em both but Dix is a great pick-up, not walking on and from Iowa.
