RECRUITING: Iowa State to host four-star 2024 guard Nojus Indrusaitis for OV this weekend (committed!)

TJ is phenomenal. Amazing first piece to the 2024 class!

Lol

They couldn't beat Prohm for Conditt and THT. Why do they think they will out-recruit TJ?

TJ is a DAWG. Love the combo of good high school recruits and transfer guys he is combining. The video of this recruit is really impressive. Seems like an at will scorer, inside and outside game.

Lipsey
Nick J
Nojus
Momcilovic
Rock

That would be one heck of a core to fill in around for 2024 and beyond. Need some athletes and age now

Looks like a lineup Fran would be jealous of.

Except talented, and not nearly as ugly as Fran typically strives for

You’re not wrong except that non of those guys are related to one another or to a coach and only one of them grew up a fan of the program lol.

 

[NWICY]

speak of the devil

Amazed at how quick this was if TJ is happy I'm happy.

After Virginia won a national championship a handful of years back I remember being impressed with the roster Tony Bennett put together and the defensive minded effort his team played with. The vast majority of their impact players were upperclassmen and former 35-100 type recruits in the country. I think they may have had one blue chip recruit in there as well. Sounds eerily similar to what TJ is putting together

Well… except for Lipsey

Love the recruiting success TJ and this staff keeps having! This kid sounds like a great fit.

A little concerning how quickly some move on from previous classes (Watson, E.King, Hamilton) to the next. I hope these 3 have established themselves and will be hard to supplant.

Not exactly the same level as the pool we’re playing in for 23 & 24.

 

[nrg4isu]

Can anyone confirm if he is eligible for NIL? Or is he in the same boat as Jaz?

I can't confirm ****, but it's been reported that he's American born to Lithuanian parents. If that's the case he's eligible for NIL

Good comparison. I’d be okay with that.

We will have really good shooting in 2024 with him and Momcilovic, which is great since our outside shooting is atrocious right now.

Wasn't Tony Bennet originally from Wisconsin, same as TJ??

 

[helechopper]

Awesome recruit and overall recruiting.

I think we can win a national Championship here within the next few years. It’s about time we do just that.

According to some mouthbreather on hawkeyeinsider, we’re getting all these recruits because Denny Albaugh is our bagman.

Weird. I was told Iowa State is the poverty program picking up pop cans? Which is it lol

Did I misread something or dream this up, but wasn't Watson supposed to be a good 3-pt shooter in high school?? Hopefully he takes a big leap forward from his freshmen to his sophomore year to get more playing time.

Us getting this commitment I assume we quit recruiting someone else. So which recruit are we no longer going after?

Not necessarily. I mean we do lose Holmes, Kalschuer, Grill, Kunc, for outside shooting
