2011 Recruiting Class (Current Offers) - Page 2

Hawk4Life25 · 07-22-2010, 09:14 AM

I don't think he has been offered but back in late May/early June Malcolm Moore was thrown around as a possible recruit for the 2011 class. MM is currently at Tyler JC in Texas.

MM may be more a fall back option at this point.

YouTube - 6'7" Jacob Lawson has Serious Bounce (Class of 2011)

I love the fake crowd noise in the video. Did they grab that from wii golf?

His wing span makes him play like a guy a couple of inches taller. He would be my choice for the utility forward I think FM needs in this class.

Get this guy and a player like Coleman and then pull a rabbit out of the hat with big man that is ready to play from day-one (JUCO or Foreign, maybe) and Iowa will be playing in the post-season in 2012.

They key is the big man. You need someone who is ready to come in and play the majority of the game, be able to box out, clean the boards, get good put back points, and hit free throws. Go find this guy even if you have to go to the ends of the earth.

PG:
Shaq Boga
Chasson Randle (No chance)

SG:
Devin Coleman
Aaron Thomas

SF:
Paul Jesperson (Virginia)
Tyler Harris
Jacob Lawson
Ross Travis
Jarrod Uthoff (Wisconsin)

PF/C:
Thomas Gipson
Eric Katenda
Trey McDonald
Kamari Murphy
Cody Zeller (No chance)

Not sure about Greg Sequele and I don't know if I put all the 3-5's at the correct position.

This is helpful. Thanks.
I would love to see Coleman on board with any of Harris,Travis,Lawson, and Katenda ...now that said, I am ignorant on the following:

McDonald- heard his name back in the Lick era..are we still viable and what is his game like?
Murphy- never heard his name...whats his game?
Thomas- new name...what are his measurables and game?

Fran and staff just have to keep pounding that rock,ie the Iowa football program in 2001-2...I am really hoping that Dillard,Speraw and Francis come thru with some talent from their collective connections...Lawson would be awesome,Coleman,ect...we need to find our new Ronnie Lester-type breakthru recruit..could it be Coleman?

dnads · 07-25-2010, 11:06 AM

Oglesby can be added.

Also, anyone have any recent info on Katenda or Sequele? Haven't heard anything in awhile, but either one of those guys would be awesome to get.

JDavis11 · 07-25-2010, 02:41 PM

Thanks dnads just added Oglesby

Also I've come to realize that norstarbball --while a good blog-- is not always accurate. So I will not list their reported offers until I confirm them from a second source. Both Abron and Boga I now moved to "not sure".

I don't see Iowa getting Katenda, he has an offer from Georgetown and he has taken Iowa out, for now, of his top five and replaced them with Michigan (who the heck knows why). John Behind at Michigan may not be there after this season if they can't finish higher than 7th, oh how they have wasted talent.
The one good thing about Katenda is that Coach Fran has been building a relationship with him for about two years.

I would love for Iowa to land Gipson, he's the one on the list that fills immediate needs of this program. He is a freakishly athletic post.

Doesn't sound like he will make up his mind until this spring, though.

When I see Gipson, I think of DuJuan Blair. Good comparison?

Actually not too bad of a comparison. Never thought of that one.

Yes, all Iowa needs is another academic question mark. Iowa would be much better off with a freshman that has some skill and can be developed and isn't an academic risk.

Iowa has offered scoring PG, 6', Trey Burke out of Ohio. Decommit from Penn State.

WVU Recruiting Big Board: The Guards

Trey Burke – 6-0, 170 (Columbus, Ohio) Burke is an AAU teammate of 2012 ‘Eers commit Jaylen Robinson and he likes WVU a lot, but it’s unclear as to whether the ‘Eers will offer. Burke is a solid point guard who knows how to win, but he seems to be on the second tier of preferences at the point currently.
Since de-committing from Penn State this spring, he’s received offers from Cincinnati, Nebraska, Iowa and Western Kentucky. WVU is taking a look, as are Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Clemson and Minnesota. ESPN ranks him as the No. 22 point guard and 99th-best overall prospect in the nation.
ESPN Evaluation: April, 2010: “Trey is a scoring point guard. He is good in transition where he is crafty and scores well in the paint. He is a solid basketball athlete so he can make athletic plays he's just not a sky walker. Burke is more of a scorer than a shooter though he is a solid shooter. He is creative offensively and can find ways to put the ball in the basket. He has a solid mid range game and has range on his shot to 22 feet. Trey makes solid decisions and is a decent creator. He is a very good defender. He uses his strength well on defense and takes pride in slowing down his opponent. For a point guard he is also a good rebounder. Burke always plays hard and is a very good competitor.”
