Damn we need to figure out a way to open that 3rd ride Race, Moss, and this guy would be a solid class. Not to mention Green being a candidate to open a 3rd spot as well.
****Official Class of 2018 Recruiting Thread****
- Thread starter Cydkar
- Start date
Although we haven't really been listed with quality grad transfers, I'm sure the staff is after them, plus could always keep a spot open.
Iowa knows they don't have a shot and never really have had one with Green. My prediction is he goes to UNI or he leaves the state.

He's a big kid-a G/F mismatch. Although, he doesn't seem to have Nader's exceptional length.
Update with Torrence Watson, doesn't mention ISU as a school recruiting him the hardest. He visited previously.

Two ISU 5 star offers were at an Ark tourney this weekend.
https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/the-warmup-five-star-d-j-jeffries-leads-the-pack
D.J. Jefferies SF 2019
Recruitment: Offers from Kansas, Kentucky, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Iowa State, Mississippi State, Wake Forest and Memphis.
His day: Playing for a new squad in Team Penny, Jeffries fit in nicely with a group that is deep and super athletic. He played above the rim, put the ball on the floor some and showed off incredible physical tools.
Quotable: "I haven't thought too much about my recruitment. Maybe at the end of the summer I will have a top list."
Prediction: Jeffries doesn't appear too focused on his recruitment yet but with his kind of talent he looks like one that the bluebloods will fight over.
Gerald Lindell SF 2018
Recruitment: Offers from Arizona, Baylor, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M, UCLA and many others. Duke and Kentucky showing interest.
His day: Liddell has been working to expand and improve his perimeter game and he had the jumper dropping while we watched on Saturday. He still lacks strength but has really improved as a ball handler.
Prediction: If Duke or Kentucky decides to make a scholarship offer things could get interesting. For now we will be mildly surprised if he makes it out of the state of Texas, though Arizona is one to watch as well.

I was just talking with a co-worker at our launch party this afternoon. His son is a Junior at Robbinsdale Armstrong and good friends with Race Thompson because of sports throughout their childhood. He said he talks with his dad at school events, and his son talks with Race daily.
He brought it up to me without me asking, because he knew I was an Iowa State fan.
He said, as of right now, Race is leaning towards Iowa State. And his reasoning was interesting. He said Race, like his sister, doesn't like the idea of following his family as far as colleges go. His mom played Volleyball at Iowa, his dad went to the University of Minnesota, and his sister went to Madison. He joked that Race wanted to break the Big10 trend. He also said that Race seemed to really like "the coach" down at Iowa State and as of right now they are the front runner.
My co-worker said he has spoken with his dad about the situation before, and his dad is a little more hush hush about it. He did say, though, that they will take more than one visit, he said 4 if not all 5.
SO, I guess what you can take from this, is we are in a very good spot. I don't know why he would say this to me for any other reason than he thought it was interesting that he had a bit of an inside recruiting scoop.

Encouraging. But I think what you are failing to account for is a foe that's been sitting back and waiting to strike. A silent snake that few before have been able to deny...subtle, lifeless seduction of one Fran McCaffery. He's waiting to strike, just you watch.
