Is there a reason that Iowa hasn't offered? Kid looks like a beast, and I bet his stock will rise next year.
Tamin Lipsey
- Thread starter squeezebox
- Start date
Because they are sitting pretty good with another PG in the same class, who is likely better and isn't likely to commit to an in state school in his home town?
Who is the other player? Sorry, I don't following recruiting prospects closely at all.
Dasonte Bowen
But can he create his own 3 pt shot without getting locked down by the other team's best defender once he gets across half court?..............................
I'd say this is extremely debatable. I like Lipsey's shot much more than Bowen's. Lipsey is an inch shorter, but has a bigger build as well. As an in state product, I personally would have offered. Also, Eli King is another interesting prospect.
I was pretty disappointed in Ulis' lack of aggressiveness when he came in near the end vs. the Ducks. Didn't shoot when open.
On the other hand, i'm more than happy with Tony Perkin's interest in scoring - attacks the paint with authority. Thumbs up for him.
Maybe his dad is a psycho who owns a tenderloin restaurant?
Looks like Bowen is rated a bit higher by ESPN. Guessing Iowa had to chose and decided to put their all their eggs in his basket. We have seen it play out both ways before...hope the hawks aren't scrambling in the end because they missed on Bowen
Eli king is projected to be higher than both, and has a future forcast to Iowa via Rivals, via the fans I guess.
Whoever helps us win a national championship, sign that person........problem solved.
Yes.
Bring in Clinton Solomon Jr. and company
for the hardwood.. don't care if they're arrested in year two for burglary and selling heroin...just as long as year one has us playing in the sweet 16 and beyond.
Like with Joe T, I don't care if he ever shoots a 3. Beat the defender off the bounce, create for himself and others, be a pest with the ball and on the defensive end.
Put a shooter or two around him to kick the ball to if he can't get to the rim.
I was disappointed fran hadnt played ulis more so he actually had some confidence when called on! It wasn’t towards the end of the game ulis got in, i think he played over half the 2nd half... Agreed i wish he would’ve been more aggressive, but i put it as much or more on fran as I do Ulis
Grew up in Ames. Always an IA State fan. Iowa showed interest but it probably wasn't reciprocal so Iowa moved on. His loss, especially since he then blew out his knee and the coaches at his 2 top schools got fired after this season.

That's probably fair regarding Fran maybe not playing Ulis a bit more throughout the season but...
...as you said, Ulis did play a chunk (12) of minutes yet didn't take a shot. Playmakers get out there and attempt to showcase ability - we may not have a playmaker in Ulis - hence my disappointment.
putting all our eggs in one basket in pg recruiting has paid off richly in the past
What I saw of Ulis vs Ducks was a guy that knows how to run a team and will be low turnover guy.
HIs FT stroke looks good...Iowa needs a PG closer that can shoot FTs. I don't think he looked for his
shot because vs Oregon because his role this season has been to hold the Fort and not lose games in
his very short minutes.
