2027 Basketball Recruiting

[hawkeyealum]

He’s a shooting guard right now

Tall white kids can’t play defense because they guys they are trying to guard are usually black.

 

[B19Rob]

Tall white kids are better at defense than short white kids

 

[CleteyColgate]

Good basketball players are better at defense than those who are bad at it

Oklahoma offer within the last week. Looks like he'll need a year to put on good weight. We'll call him Joey Matteoni's replacement for now.

This guy seems like a weirdo

With 5 for 5, probably only looking for a PG and that's it?

Sounds like he was starting to blow up and would pick up a bunch more offers by the end of summer. He's skinny right now (duh) but finishes tough and with 2 hands. Very skilled kid that looks like he's going to be really good.

Would love to finally get a freshman guard, but who knows what their recruiting philosophy is. Mccollum has earned the benefit of the doubt already after a year.

What?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

What?

With everyone on the roster likely getting an additional year, and signing one player, are we likely only looking to sign one more player?

 

[Stomper15]

Has room for 2. But doesn’t always use full allocation.

This isn't going to help our recruiting "culture" now is it. @The Dad

 

[douglasbader]

The 5 in 5 rule is going to be a mess the first year. Iowa essentially only has on roster spot open, and zero now if this new kid comes in plus Combs and Manyawu stay.

Much like Banks this year, I hope Combs and Manaywu move on.

Not necessarily. A short white kid might at least have some sense of lateral quickness.
