Omaha Billew

Because he's blind. The kid is Tyler Cook with a jump shot.

I think most would take Tyler Cook with a jumpshot in a heartbeat. Or just TC, that paint presence is sorely lacking

Where is he ranked in the country right now?

I say Omaha Ballew should sign with Iowa so we can win a national championship, since that is the ultimate goal after all.........

#7

When has Iowa ever signed a top ten player?

Michael Payne was probably close. And Al Lorenzen?

Meh. We don't want him any more than we wanted Zion Williamson. When is someone going to resurrect that post? There were some real gems by the HR experts in that one.

He'd be one and done at best, so why bother, IMHO.

And he's considering NEBRASKA? LOL

He Thinks he is a One-and-done. And maybe so. Too early to tell. But That isn't the mentality that spells "team". Jus sayin

Even if you're correct about those two, and I'm not sure you are, we're talking nearly forty years ago. Quite the dry spell for a member of a big time athletic conference.

Raveling had us in contention for the #1 recruit, JR Reid, but in the end he picked North Carolina.

Maybe in your wet dream that’s how it plays out. At best you’ve seen him against some undersized central Iowa scrub teams.

He's a top 10 player in the country. What are you talking about? He can guard pretty much every position on the floor except Center. At this point in his career he's a better defensive player than offensive. He would be the best athlete on the team the minute he hits the court.

I see he is doing an official visit to the Clones this week. Are we still recruiting him? He's clearly a long shot based on his ranking, but just wondering if the latest news on him.

If he plays one game of college ball I will be surprised.

Why?

Option 1: In 2023, high school seniors likely will be eligible again for the NBA Draft

Option 2: If option 1 is not available, he could play one year in the G League, earn at least $500,000, and then head to the NBA Draft
