2027 Basketball Recruiting

[Bob Sanders]

So every time BMC develops a Bennett Stirtz for example, that player will just transfer away for more money. Except BMC did develop Bennett Stirtz in real life and his loyalty to BMC was such that he barely even listened to other offers despite massive interest.

Solid logic.

 

[The Tin Man]

I don't see the point of even bothering with high schoolers at this point.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

If you had asked me 15 minutes ago, I would have said that jimmy McKinney was still in college.

 

[CleteyColgate]

The kid is a stud, I give Iowa about a 10% chance

You've got him by 20%.

 

[LifelongHawk]

Oh shit, this could get really good.

 

[Mitchandrsn]

 

[douglasbader]

Fuck you.

 

[The Dad]

McCollum at least taught him proper shooting form.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I want my PG shooting every time

 

[neshawk]

He's listed at 5'8".

 

[AZmessDAWG]

He's listed at 5'8".

That’s accurate. The kid can shoot, one of the best shooters I’ve seen in a long time.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

He’d fit in great at Grinnell.

Oddly weak list for a #32 overall recruit

Wonder if it becomes more common with guys in the portal getting $2-6M.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

As young as we are at forward, I can't imagine it was ever close to him choosing Iowa

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

That graphic is cracking me up. Otz looks like the Cyclone pep rally fist pump guy.

Also why is his shirt so loose in the graphic?

photoshop so it looks normal

 

[Mysterio]

shucks well see if i should be upset we missed on him in 2 years

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Keep us posted

 

[WCFHawkeye]

McCollum's team was kind of an exception, but signing an unknown high school kid only benefits you next year only if he is good, as if he is good, you have to re-recruit him all over again.

At least pulling a known commodity out of the portal, one knows exactly what to expect.

It sucks, but it is reality.

Thanks, Ivan.

seems unlikely iowa can match the dollars of some of his other schools

Not with that attitude.

 

[BBK]

This guy seems like a weirdo

I don't know, it would be interesting to see what percentage of spending goes towards the portal vs recruiting. I get the impression that teams with deep pockets, tend to view portal players as better investments. I could see Iowa prioritizing recruits and maybe stealing a few.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I feel like most of our NIL will be spent like football, on retaining players.

 

[KitKatApples]

Everybody is gonna have a hard time having as much money as the top four or five largest ADs. So its a problem for a lot of schools other than Iowa

Iowa will have the exact same attendance and the exact same record regardless of what they pay in football.

So, why?

Keller Daugherty, 2027 forward, may have committed. No announcement, but evidently he put it in his social media bio.

More often than not our recruits have the appearance of fran recruits

 

[Hawkstrat]

You can say white here.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Tall kids who can shoot are not exactly a bad thing to have. They just also need to know that it’s okay to play defense and that they will actually have to practice it too.

 

[CleteyColgate]

More often than not our recruits have the appearance of fran recruits

That's the trend with most teams
