2014 Basketball Recruiting: Interests and Offers

[rodg12]

Paul White out of Whitney Young in Chicago. 6'8 forward. Another blue chipper. I look for Fran to try and put a bow on next year's class ASAP in order to spend as much time as possible on the Tyus Jones class... which could potentially be monstrous.

Bump. White should be added to the list.

2014 Interests/Offers.

THREE SCHOLLIES TO GIVE (assuming both 2013 scholarships are taken)

PG -
Tyus Jones - Apple Valley, MN (Iowa was first to offer, offers from Duke, ISU, Indiana, Minnesota, OSU, others)
Dominique Coller - Denver, CO (Offers from Iowa, Arizona, Colorado)
Devon Hall - Virginia Beach, VA (Offers from Iowa, Georgia, Florida, Miami, Virginia, others)

SG -

F -
Malek Harris - Orland Park, IL (offers from Iowa, Depaul, Miami OH)
Ethan Happ - Taylor Ridge, IL (offers from Wisconsin, other Wisc schools, Iowa interest)

PF -
Seth Bonifas - Dubuque, IA (Iowa first to offer, interest from Wisc)
Cliff Alexander - Chicago, IL (Iowa, Illinois [strong lean], Indiana, Mich State, Missouri, Wisconsin, Tennessee, more)

C -
Jahlil Okafor - Chicago, IL (Iowa, Illinois, Mich State, UNC, Ohio State, more)

The guy out of this list that I would most like to get from a practical standpoint of who we have a shot at is Rashad Vaughn. When was the last 4* athletic shooting guard we had?

This class is absolutely loaded with midwest kids.

Everything I have read is that Alexander is a strong lean to MSU. Did I miss something?

I know we have offered these two guys but should we really list them? They are both going to big time programs.

Hopefully Iowa will be pretty big time by 2014.

I believe that Happ is now a verbal commit to Wisconsin.

Just saw this on the local news about Tyus Jones and Jahill Okafor.

Do we have a shot with these guys? Would be one hell of a duo

From the article:

The reported list of programs that have offered scholarships to both is a murderer’s row: Duke, Michigan State, Ohio State, Arizona, and Baylor, among others.


So no we don't have a shot.

Just offered Jae’Sean Tate a couple of days ago. Top player in the state of Ohio.

Stormin any chance you can add what each of these kids likes to listen to on their ipod? Thanks for the updates.

[PackHawk]

His hometown sounds familiar. Do we have anyone from Pickerington? Think I got that name right...

JaQuan Lyle was offered by Iowa.

[CyWineguy]

From what I have read. Rashad Vaughn is having a big time summer and already has 20+ high major offers.
If there was a player on that list by spank that I could have it would be Vaughn for sure.

Hmm, Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio St., Tennessee, Texas, Indiana, Illinois, Purdue, Cincy, NC St. among his offers. I don't feel great about Iowa's chances.
