Yes, Fran won a recruitment for Riley age as of now 21, convincing him to come to Iowa after graduating after his junior year in high school, skipping his senior year. Virginia Tech, Syracuse, and Penn State along with a hand full of mid major programs were actively recruiting him.
Saw action in a handful of games his freshmen and sophomore seasons and asked to be redshirted this year to have 2 years remaining.
After all that Iowa has investing in his development, some on here think he's going to jump to the portal and look elsewhere for playing time. lol He doesn't seem too disappointed in being here.
Don't be surprised if he turns up as the starting center/forward along side Owen next year. Rag on him all you want, but as I've said you can't teach height, length, rebounding ability, scoring, runs the floor, and has the potential to be a good shot blocker. That's all I'm going to say, but carry on with your distaste for the young man.
