[ChiHawk21]

Player A or C...assuming all players are in Power 6 conferences and (close to) equally winning teams.

 

[UNIHAWK88]

Player C

 

[TCOOL]

What class is each player in?

 

[Hammer93]

Player C please.

 

[StormHawk42]

Player C assuming he’s in a higher class

 

[CO_hawk]

C or A

 

[Suterman]

B or C for me.

26.6 ppg 7.3 rpg 2.3 apg 1.2 spg

I’ll go with A. He appears to be the only one playing against big schools!
Edit, D does also!

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Who is who?

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Russ Millard

 

[iahawks10]

The two I’ve found are already committed.

Three of the four are 4A I think. Not sure what class one of them is. Looks like 2A for the 4th one.

 

[markfromj]

C A M1.

 

[2432Hawk]

A is Tyreke Locure of Des Moines North 4A 15-4

B is Patrick McCaffrey of Iowa City West 4A 13-3

C is Jake Hilmer of North Linn 1A 20-0

D is D.J. Carton of Bettendorf 4A 19-1

 

[2432Hawk]

As of right now I'd go with B. Patrick is having a very good season carrying a young IC West team and has played a strong schedule.

 

[TKingpin]

I read about a kid from Central City in the DSM Register who scored 76 points in a game recently. Played against East Buchanan. So, obviously not 4A competition, but that is an amazing night anyway.

Might be worth keeping an eye on...

 

[perryhawk]

With the limited information from the initial post...I would have said C. The most important part to me is what position does the player play? That might me make view FG% or Assists or Rebounds differently.......

3 of the 4 are Point Guards and the 4th Patrick McCaffrey is a Forward

He's a junior so not eligible for Mr. Basketball.

 

[TCOOL]

Whichever one Patrick is.

 

[2432Hawk]

Whichever one Patrick is.

B

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I would have voted for A. I really need to know classes before I voted.

 

[SSG T]

A is Tyreke Locure of Des Moines North 4A 15-4

B is Patrick McCaffrey of Iowa City West 4A 13-3

C is Jake Hilmer of North Linn 1A 20-0

D is D.J. Carton of Bettendorf 4A 19-1

North Linn is 2A this year, but most of their competition is 1A.

I'd go either McCaffery or Carton.

From a purely stats perspective, I'd actually take Locure's teammate, Gatdoar Bijek, over Locure. He doesn't have the pure numbers, but most of his rates are better.

Hilmer is an excellent player, but their schedule is kind of a joke.

 

[Kurt Warner]

Did the hawks make a mistake by not going after locure?

 

[Rifler]

No...

 

[SSG T]

Did the hawks make a mistake by not going after locure?

Unless he has gotten his head on straight, no. I've heard conflicting reports of whether he has or not.

 

[IAHawkGrad2000]

I don't follow commits much, I know Pat will be a hawk, have the other three committed anywhere?

 

[TCOOL]

Carton- Ohio State, assume you knew about this one
Locure- South Alabama
HIlmer- Upper Iowa for basketball and baseball

 

[HawkOn15]

Did the hawks make a mistake by not going after locure?

No even Drake pulled their offer

Thanks.... didn't realize North Linn moved up a class. Bijek is pretty good scorer, I thought about expanding out to more but narrowed it down to my top 4, some others to consider would also be Keegan Murray, Noah Carter, Owen Coburn, Aidan Vanderloo, Derek Krogmann, Trey Hutcheson, and so on.

 

[denmar81]

Hilmer would have comparable stats in a higher class. Kid is good and it’s not because of playing 1A competition.

 

[Hawkamania81]

Think he is the grandson of my former coach Bob Hilmer, crazy.

 

[TCOOL]

He is, Bob is actually on staff at North Linn. At least he was last season.

Bob's son and Jake's dad is the head coach.

 

[ghostpony]

He’s good for 1a/2a, but there’s a reason he’s going to Upper Iowa. Just like the kid that won it a couple years ago.

 

[Hawkamania81]

Very cool, yep. Bob was Forest City HC for decades before going down there to be the HC and then Jake who went to Forest City while his Dad coached there is the Coach now... Very cool!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I actually have no problem with hilmer winning it. He’s a stud. Patrick is probably having a better year than Carton.

 

[WorldSeriesChamps2015]

And for 2020 the front runner???

14.6 ppg 12.4 rpg 6.5 bpg
52.6% FG 25.0% 3pt 50.0% FT

I assume this is Xavier Foster?

 

[owenhawk]

If Fran offered a guy going to South Alabama not from Iowa, I’m pretty sure there would be a lot of upset fans.

 

[Ihawkhoops]

Carton- Ohio State, assume you knew about this one
Locure- South Alabama
HIlmer- Upper Iowa for basketball and baseball

Where is Hutchison from Linn-Mar in the discussion? Isn't he going to South Alabama also? If so, what is the connection between South Alabama and Iowa high school talent?
