What does everyone know about this kid. #1 PG for class of 2019 and #9 overall. Saw he previously played for an Iowa AAU team but appears he goes to school in Indiana now. Says his hometown is Des Moines. I would assume Fran knows this kid if he played AAU ball in Iowa. Starting to get offers from some decent D1 programs and Kansas is talking to him now. I think Fran needs to jump on this one early.

probably already has, but I think the 2017 class is on his mind, there are 3 major factors that will DICTATE the scholarship/s, right now Fran has 1 to give and Connor already has that one,
Jones depends on 2 things if he gets a 6th year his won't be available till 2018, if he does not then the question comes in about does Baer get it or does Fran use it to get one of these.
6'11 F/C 4* by ESPN Williams out of Indiana
6'8 Nunge out of Indiana
6'10 Garza out of Pennsylvania.
the options are there that Fran will have to make up his mind about,
2018 Fran has 1 to give and Weiskamp has that 1 unless Jones gets a 6th year then Fran has 2 to give or just 1 more.
to much can happen between now and 2019, players can leave early for greener pastures or more playing time elsewhere. or they could all stay and wait their turn.

That 2019 class will be the one that replaces our 2015 class. A quite large class. Certainly McCaffery and staff are already making plenty of contacts. The Campbell kid is interesting as he is from Des Moines, played in Tennessee last year as a freshman on a varsity squad, and this year has transferred to a school in Indiana.
He is definitely taking the high school is to learn basketball path. That's not a put down, many kids have done this. As long as he goes to the right schools and stays away from anything Deon Thomas related, he should be ok.
Future150 has him as the best point guard in his class. Gotta wonder though what schools Iowa will be up against and moving around like he is will he have any concern with the instate school?

Like this kid's game. Below is a vid. He's got nice PG skills: quickness, handle, shot, steals. I saw him listed at 6 foot somewhere but he looks taller than that (maybe it's the Afro) and strong. Yeah, 2019 would be good year for us to get another PG. Talent pool would be nice with Wieskamp and the McCaffery boys on board and we'd be primed for another big class that year. Wonder why he and his family moved from Des Moines to Indiana?
Seen him play a few times. He's good but doubt he's 6 ft tall. I think he's really old for his grade and heard he moved for basketball reasons maybe to play high school ball as an 8th grader (can't do that in Iowa, I guess). My impression is he is too 'big time' for a school like Iowa. I like Marquise Walker out of Chicago better. Saw him go up against Tyger and he was impressive. Very tough player. Think he's out of Kentucky now. Mostly hearsay and my opinion so take it for what it's worth (not much).
Walker has got quite the flashy handle/passes. His baby face reminds me of Charlie Moore. He'd be nice too.
Tyger is from Cedar Rapids. He's probably in the 5'10" range, but might be taller as I haven't seen him in over a year. Talented kid, but already matured, so will he stay at the top or will others pass him? Left Iowa for Tennessee to play varsity as an 8th grader. Then, left Tennessee to attend a prep school in Indiana this year as a freshman. He is playing with a lot of talent, so some wonder if he makes them look good or do they make him look good. I think the kid has talent, but not sure if Iowa is something he'd even be interested in seeing how they have moved around to other places. I have no inside info as I haven't seen nor spoken to his parents in more than a year. I think had he stayed in Iowa he would still be highly regarded and likely have an Iowa offer at this point.
