Good post Kilroy. There is a big kid out of Michigan we're going after pretty hard as well. Can't think of his name. But from the way things are going I believe Iowa could pull off a second good recruiting year, and some big classes!
We are far from the only ones talking about that picture. Stugotz from the Dan Lebatard show retweeted the picture comparing them and people are laughing at it from all over. If you cant have a sense of humor about something like that, you are going to have issues playing big time basketball.

Think if Woodbury gave up on Iowa after every time he got made fun of for being stuffed by the rim.
Stugotz from the Dan Lebatard show? You mean the Dan Le Batard show? Let's see the headlines:
Suspended from Baseball Writer's Association of America for one year, barred for ever voting for baseball Hall of Fame entrants again.
Suspended for two days by his bosses ESPN (We know the kind of guys they like to hire) for his billboard mocking LaBron James.
I could go on. But I think it is funnier and should be MORE embarrassing than anything a stupid high school kid does with a photo, to be emulating an ESPN Shock Jock or his crew of hacks.
In fact, NOW this is getting funny! Who else do you wanna grow up to be, Kurt?
(Before you get mad, remember that if a high school kid needs a thick skin regarding the internet, we all do, don't we?)
I think the guy you're referring to is PF Austin Davis. No offer yet, pure speculation here but may be a fall back guy if we aren't able to land Rakocevic or Cook. Assuming Fran doesn't bank the last '15 scholly we'll have 4 scholarships to give. Pemsl already has one, so I'm guessing the last 3 go to a PG, SG/SF, and PF/C. As of now it seems like Santos is his top guy to take the SG/SF scholarship and Rakocevic/Cook top guys for the big man scholarship. No idea who Fran is after for PG, I'm guessing we'll have to wait until AAU events in summer to figure that out. Not liking Iowa's chances with Cassius Winston, he's from Detriot and sounds like he is a MSU lean.
I am far from saying that they are great at what they do. I said that a couple people on here thinking a photo was funny are far from the only ones. Definitely not mad and I never said they talked about it on the show. I do not know if they did, just happened to see it on Twitter, multiple times yesterday and used it as an example.Originally posted by DanL53:

I thought I'd heard we were going pretty hard after Moore out of Morgan Park in Chicago. I think Combes indicated he thought of him more as a SG than PG, but from what I've read his hs coach (and AAU coach I believe - Irvin) views both Moore and LoVett as pgs and the reason they've been so successful is they have two great pgs on the floor at all times.

Aaron White was on Whitebballpains earlier this year for tucking his warm ups pants into his socks and wearing Air Force's. He saw it and even laughed about it. The way something like that should be handled. But if you want to freak out about it go ahead.
By the way if you are going to correct my Lebatard to Le Betard mabe you should spell LeBron right? maybe?
I sense a little butt hurt in you.Honestly, if Rakocevic ends up at Illinois I'd be all over that photo chopping of his.
Just having some fun with irony.
