Wieskamp among the best 2018 shooters?
Rivals released another list on Wednesday — The top pure shooters in 2018 class — and Iowa commit Joe Wieskamp made the cut.
Rivals has Wieskamp as a four-star recruit and the No. 44 overall player in the 2018 class. Eric Bossi, a national recruiting analyst for Rivals, believes Wieskamp is among the best when it comes to pure shooting.
“There will be some others out there who shoot higher percentages from deep,” Bossi wrote, “but Wieskamp’s combination of size, range and confidence are tough to beat. He wants a shot from deep when it matters and his size allows him to shoot over almost anybody.”
Iowa Preps Getting Noticed
Preps from the Hawkeye state were all over the country last weekend competing in grassroots tournaments while college coaches could watch and take notes.
Bettendorf’s D.J. Carton, playing for Quad City Elite, continued to raise his profile with more stellar performances. “Nobody affects the game as much as this rising sophomore,” wrote Evan Flood, a Wisconsin recruiting insider for 247Sports. The 6-foot-1 guard has received interest from Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska, and received an offer from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis over the weekend.
North Scott’s Corvon Seales, also of Quad City Elite, flashed the ability the hit the open shot. Seales was just a junior this past winter, during which he scored 13.6 points per game and dished out 74 assists for the Lancers.
Norwalk’s Luke Vaske, playing for Martin Brothers, also impressed scouts in attendance. The 6-foot-1 junior showcased his game-management skills by facilitating his team’s offense while also hitting shots with efficiency. Vaske scored 20.1 points per game for the Warriors this past season.
Cedar Rapids Xavier’s Matthew Mims also drew some good reviews. The 6-foot combo guard caught the eye of Aiello with his playmaking ability in transition.
A trio of freshman also made some noise in Dallas. Winterset’s Easton Darling, Highland Riverside’s Zack Lasek and Waterloo West’s Jaden Keller all received mentions in postgame evaluations. They will be names to watch in future seasons.
