That would be an absolute beast of a classOriginally posted by SSG T:
With Williams committing, I'm hoping for Pemsl (already committed), Santos and two of Cook, Rakocevic and Ivanauskas for their 2016 class. This is, of course, assuming that they fill the last scholarship this year, likely with Jones.

Where does Iowa stand with Cook and Ivanauskas? Are we just one of many?Originally posted by TheHawkeyeDudeAbides:

Winston will stay in the state of Michigan as both MSU and Michigan will make a serious effort to land him. Right now for the 2016 class Charlie Moore (5'9" Morgan Park, Chicago) and Micah Bradford (6'1" Bradley Bourbonnais) are the targets at PG and both have visited. Moore may have a tougher time at D1 due to his size. He was exploited in recent state semifinal against Belleville Althoff.
I am betting Fran wants PF/C Tyler Cook (6'9"Chaminade, St. Louis) to go with Iowa native PF Cordell Pemsl and SF/PF Rapolas Ivanauskas (6'9"+ Barrington, IL). Cook is the key to the bigs, IMHO. Rapolas is probably going to be the top senior recruit in the State of IL next year (ahead of Nick Rakocevic). Cook is very good friends (I've heard) with super HS sophomores Michael Porter and Jeremiah Tilmon. Networking in St. Louis and Chicago essential to Iowa's BB program moving back to top 20 consideration, IMO.
Cook has made at least two visits to Carver that I know. Cook has several suitors (Kansas, ISU, Mizzou) but he has always recalled that I was the one showing him the most love.Originally posted by HoustonREDHawk:

We will still have four scholarships available. Gesell, Clemmons, Uthoff, Woodbury all completing their eligibility.Originally posted by GunnerHawk:
With Jones visiting and pending commitment I would expect we will have only two schollies next year. One I hope goes to either Rac or Cook. I really like Santos, looks like a difference maker.
Cook and Santos a long with Pemsyl would make a great class next year.
I can get why he doesn't have a ton of offers. He was 6'6" in high school. He's been at Tyler CC for three years due to an injury. Personally I don't think anyone was following the kid much. In fact, I suspect even Iowa only discovered the kid by going down to watch Ikenna Okwarabizie. So, in this case I'll pass on the lack of offers and say it's another one of those "finds" McCaffery seems to enjoy.Originally posted by DavenportHawk8:
Who else is recruiting this Dale Jones?? I don't see to many offers for the kid and I can't for the life of me find anything on him except a video from when he was at Waterloo West.
With a Jones commitment, they would have four scholarships available next year. Mike G, Sapp, Uthoff and Woody. They already have a commitment from Pemsl, that would leave three more.Originally posted by GunnerHawk:

That is a great group, but one of the four scholarships will need to be a good PG.Originally posted by SSG T:

Sign me up for Pemsl, Santos and two of Rakocevic, Ivanauskas and Cook. That would be a fantastic four man class, easily the best class Fran would have brought in by then.
Hopefully we can put the Myles name to bed. As you say, he's a head case and Fran doesn't recruit head cases.Originally posted by SSG T:
Unless something has changed, I can't imagine there's much interest in Myles. He sounds like a pretty serious head case.

With Williams in the fold, I'm not as concerned. They'll have 3-4 guys that can provide backup minutes, and I'm not too sure they'd be incredibly hurt even with a long term injury. If they didn't get Williams, I'd definitely want a PG.Originally posted by HoustonREDHawk:

LaoHawk,,,you know the kid is from North Carolina and not from the Midwest. North Carolina kids with any serious BB talent choose UNC, Duke, and NC State first. Iowa is not at the blood blue level where they can successfully recruit out of the region. Iowa needs to open doors to the five major metropolitans of the Midwest for the BB Talents - Chicago, St. Louis, Twin Cities, Detroit and Indianapolis.Originally posted by LaoHawk:
Saw an indication that IA is recruiting a 2017 SG Wes Morgan but no real info on him, he's tall and lanky. He must be an under the radar recruit for Fran. I think this is the only video of him I can find on youtube. Anyone know?
