I was pretty impressed with Landon Davis for Northwest last night. He has a good frame that is already filling out. He definitely has some bounce to him.

Already has several MVC offers and did well playing high-level summer ball.

He’s such a good defensive player. 9 blocks vs Centennial last night.

I went to the Hempstead-Decorah game last night, and didn't realize going in that Raef LaFrentz's kid played for Decorah (and that Raef himself was one of the coaches). He was eight inches taller than anyone else on the court, and seemed like a skilled classic center. I believe he finished with 37 points. I don't follow recruiting, but I assume he's viewed as a high major prospect, given his size and pedigree. Is Iowa in on him?
Jeez, he’s even a lefty with the same high release as his dad.

He has the baby dear bit, but you can see potential. Would be a risk for a high major team. Probably a late Fran signing.

Well, he's no Riley Mulvey. That's obvious.

Might not even be a Kyle Meyer.

Let UNI waste their money developing him, then go after him in the portal for his junior and senior year.

He's tall, has some touch, and should easily be able to put on weight. There's some potential there, I'd sign him. Getting an in with the family and three little brothers couldn't hurt either.

I hate how he runs though

He knows how to play, that is pretty important at this point. Keeps the ball high at all times.

Needs a lot of time to get stronger.

When Raef was playing basketball, Stink didn’t like how he did it

What's the word on the kid who committed and is at prep school? Haven't heard about him in a minute.

Should be a good rebounding team then.

Need to keep the APR high given that we are losing the two biggest nerds in program history and replacing them with black guys.

Need to keep the minimum of LATFG. Nebrantska offer as well so not out of left field.

Leading the league in Eagle Scouts is one way to approach roster building.

Storm Lake is more ethnically diverse than our own Iowa Hawkeyes.

Davis County would be about the next best option if they wanted to add a school.
