Kris & Keegan Murray commit to Iowa
- Thread starter Blair Sanderson
- Start date
Just curious, does this have anything to do with Foster or Ogundele? Will it affect anything?
Still not clear if they are scholarship or walk on.
that’s the big question. I highly doubt it affects any of the three guys still on the board.

After making an official visit to Iowa this past weekend, Kris and Keegan received a scholarship offer from Fran McCaffery and will now follow in their father's footsteps and play for the Hawkeyes.
I think they are on Scholarship.

Not necessarily. Iowa currently has an open ride plus three guys on scholarship who don’t have to be on scholarship.
Welcome aboard young men, let's win a lot of game over the next 4 years!!
Just posted in the other thread, we're currently "oversigned" by 1 now and that's if Bohannon doesn't redshirt. Either we are taking Connor and Pat off scholarship and expect others to leave or we're done with this class...
Where is the open ride? I can't see the McCaffery's going off of scholarships.
Well I think for Till it was only a 1 year deal so I think they are even on scholarships.
Has anyone followed them since they have been in Florida or is everyone still basing off them when they were at Prairie? I'm sure the coaching staff has been following them the whole time and would know if they could play D1 basketball. If they are on scholarship that would probably mean JB is playing this year otherwise they would be over the limit next year. Let the kids play this year at the florida academy before everyone decides how good they are.
Yeah that's what I was thinking/hoping.
So we can certainly take Connor or Pat off scholarship if needed, I guess we'll see.
what? Connor was already off scholarship once, and Fran has publicly said they would give up their ride if needed.
On paper this is the worst recruiting class in the Fran era and maybe quite a few years before that. Will they be worse than the 2015 class? I hope to God not.
Keegan and Kris Murray, twin 6-7 wings originally from Cedar Rapids Prairie, commit to Iowa after receiving offers over the weekend.
Will play a post-grad season at DME Academy in Florida this year.
With the committ from Perkins and the Murray Twins I would say we are out of the running on Sibley
Think the Sibley ship has sailed. Think only guys now are Foster and the other big
If somehow they are able to bring in Ulis, Perkins, the Murray twins AND 1-2 of Foster/Sibley/Ogundele, then fine. But if the Murray twins mean our class is full, then this is a huge disappointment. Two unranked players whose only other offer on record was Western Illinois, plus a player who was unranked until he committed to Iowa over zero P5 offers. I'm fine with taking Perkins, but not if he's the second best recruit in the class. I'm fine with the Murray twins, but not if they are the end of the class.
If these signings mean that all other targets have chosen to go elsewhere, this class is a disaster. I don't see how it could be anything else.
Here is where we are at if Bohannon plays - would be a little different if he RS would have 3 PG on roster 20-21 if he RS not countng Connor.
Maybe Connor will pursue Baseball after this year.
or
Maybe he could use the Mac boys scholarships
or
Joe goes Pro

13 rec

Will wait to judge the Murray twins - they are both like the Dev Marble I won't complain. If they can play D and make 3s. Would still like to see a higher rated skilled player come in with this class though

I didn't realize Fran had the ability to move his sons on and off of the scholarship list from year to year, but if he can, that's a good thing for Iowa.
As others have mentioned, I hope this doesn't mean that our other remaining targets, specifically Foster and Ogundele are no longer viable.

I honestly think that after this season it is quite possible that Connor focuses on Baseball only.
If Joe has the season I think he will it is probably over 50% that he will go pro. I think he is a more well rounded player than Kevin Huerter from Maryland with more upside and he got drafted 19th in the 2017 draft
It is going to be hard to ever be more than a bubble NCAA team that competes in the second tier of the BIG 10 with our recruiting.
We just can’t get many Top 150 recruits. We’ve got to figure out a way to get more kids in that 50 to 150 range. You can compete for conference championships and sweet sixteens with a couple of those types yearly. Awfully hard otherwise.

On paper, this looks like a good UNI class.
And these signings indicate to me that Iowa got bad news on the Foster front. I have 0.0% expectation he comes to iowa. What a weird, weird turn of events.
I think you're right, Wieskamp will be gone after this year.
Plus, Till is on for a one year "thanks for all your hard work, we had an open scholarship this year."
Connor's future really is baseball and he will also likely be gone after this year (in my opinion).
My guess would be Joe W would go Pro & not be back.Looks like Riley Till and Patrick are not coming back next year...
