I really think this team needs a first commit to anchor the class. Then it might be good if some guys wait a bit to commit.

I really think it all comes down to Cartwright, Marble, and Basabe. If these guys show that they are legit Big Ten players Iowa might get some more looks. This would be particularly true if a good piece of the 2011 class was already on board.

Agreed, I am hoping that is Oglesby commits, Coleman will be shortly after. The one I am waiting for is Thomas Gipson, he is physical and can do a lot of dirty work on the inside. Hopefully Dillard knows him very well, I did see he was going to wait until next spring to commit.
If Archie is only going to play one season like many think, then I hope Coach Fran can wait for some of these really good guys that he has offered and get one of them to come to Iowa (Katenda, Lawson, Gipson, McDonald, Thomas).

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.”

Can't view the video here at work but his description sounds like Rajon Rondo.

Trey Burke will end up at OSU or WVU, he can either join his teammate Sullinger, if he stays, and JD Weatherspoon and he stays home, or he can join his current HS teammate Jaylon Robinson at WVU. Either way, I would be shocked if he takes a serious look at Iowa, but I have seen him play a few times and I compare him to Ray McCallum, who ended up at Detroit to play for his dad, but he held offers from UCLA and Duke as well. Burke is not quite the athlete, but close and is more of a floor general.

If that is the case why is he listing Iowa, Penn State and Cincy as his favorites?

[CAARHawk]

Oglesby, Moats, and Rosenberg? Not quite the types of recruits I was expecting.

[storminspank]

Thomas Gipson to Kansas State.

Oglesby blew up this summer. If Illinois, ASU, and Minny think he's good enough for a scholly, why wouldn't that be a good get for Iowa? Especially if the recruit is a life-long Iowa fan?

[JHHawk]

Oglesby is now almost a concensus top 100 player. Not sure what CAAR expects,but top 100 meets my hopes, and slightly exceeds my expectations. Now, I concede I did not expect Uthoff and Oglesby to end up as top 100 kids,but they have,so I want them. Missed on Uthoff,but must hit on Josh.

If we end up with Brooks,Oglesby, Katenda and Travis, I would be very happy.
That could still happen. Lets keep a good thought,eh?

Why wouldn't he? OSU and WVU aren't going to wait for him, OSU has a scholarship number problem and if one of their talented freshman doesn't leave, he will be left out. WVU is in a position to get a lot of talented players, first come, first serve.
If Burke isn't listening, then that would not serve him well, especially if he waits to make up his mind.
He decommitted from PSU, so I would be surprised to see him sign with them, it doesn't happen that often and think about this, how long is Ed going to be there? If PSU isn't better, he will probably be gone, even though he has been one of their better coaches.
Cincy is the best team of the three your are listing and it is a Big East school, they are supposed to have the best conference, so why wouldn't he.
A lot for Iowa will simply depend on how much Coach Fran can have face time with these 2011 kids before they make up their mind, the longer they wait, the better for Iowa really in the end.
Trust me, I would love to see Burke in an Iowa uni, he can flat out play and there will be a ton of ways to use him, first off the bench as a freshman, he could provide a heck of a spark his first year and then we would see in year two if he could crack the starting lineup after Gatens graduates.

Kamari Murphy may or may not have an Iowa offer, and also word has been that he is now a 2012 recruit.

I've found the lag of finding info on here and on the paid site to be on average about 2-3 weeks. I just found that the Thomas info on here on on there were supsiciously close in timing, and there is a post in the paid site that is practically the same as this one.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. You're apparently getting some enjoyment out of your $100 so be happy with that.

[sportstalent]

What about Shane Larkin? I see Iowa has offered him, he has been making a big push this summer and has gotten a lot of offers.

[burky247]

Sounds like we have offered Dominique Pointer, 6'4" SF from North Carolina.

Also, here is a blurb about Coleman. We are still his favorite according to this.

The Recruit Scoop

Boilers also indicated that 2012 Top 100 recruit Dejaun "Rico" Marrero is on an unofficial visit this weekend.
