Josh Dix

If only someone had mentioned that on this board a couple times …

We could only hope 🙂

Of course I know it’s not over.

I’m simply saying in the first post that getting one or both of those recruits would be a great result.

Anything less in terms of quality or quantity (and I haven’t seen anybody of their caliber actively linked to IA that we have a realistic chance of landing although I didn’t say that directly) would be a mild disappointment given the two reasons I state with the second post.

Seems congruent to me.

Agreed. But I think that all of the kids McC has been recruiting so far have been pretty well regarded, so I expect that Iowa will round out the class with some talent. I doubt they will go O-fer the rest of the way, especially having had the POTY this past year. Every kid knows who Luka Garza is.

A class of Bowen and Dix for 2022, Mulvey reclassification to 2021 aside, will be mildly disappointing after last season’s success and the visibility Garza afforded the program.

FM can only recruit them. They have to make the final decision.

Step 2 of 4. So glad Josh will be playing for the good guys!

Yes, Fran is a good recruiter all things considered. I’ve stated that multiple times (not that I’d expect you or anyone else to remember that of course).

I have high hopes we get at least one of them.

I wouldn't compare to either Hansen or Haluska

But if we're looking for white guards that played college ball in Iowa ( and apparently have last names starting with an H ) I'd go more with Jeff Hornacek or Jeff Horner. He's got very good handles and is crafty with the ball in his hands.....good vision and passer as well. Shooting Guard/Point Guard combo.

Man I loved watching Haluska play

Good elevation on his jumper, just like Dix.

Well?...We're waiting...

This would be a very solid addition if Fran lands Dix. I think he’s closed the deal

He did!

Haluska is a favorite, for sure!

He was an athlete!

And a deadly shooter!

Both of those. A great Hawk for 3 years…

Too bad Iowa didn't have him for 4!

... Cannot believe that Rivals doesn't have him rated.

Neither does ESPN. WTF? Those are the two biggest scouting services and he did not seem like an unknown player. White boy from western Iowa, they just assumed he was an Iowa football recruit.
