This kid will have some big offers, IMO. His video is quite impressive (once you get through the constant loop of him dunking).
This article from February says he was reclassifying to 2018. I wonder if he decided to stay in 2019, or if the recruiting sites just haven't caught up to change it on their sites:
ISU Targets:
30. DJ Carton
33. Romeo Weems
43. EJ Liddell
44. Samuell Williamson
76. Mario McKinney
81. Kira Lewis
83. KyKy Tandy
114. Tyrell Terry
123. Mylik Wilson
137. Luke Anderson
Let me know if I missed anyone
Prohm watched DJ Carton last night. I’m not sure how good of a chance we have but I’d be pretty surprised if he went to Iowa, regardless of the connections he had to them.
He hasn’t played with any current Iowa player or recruit in AAU. And maybe I’m not factoring in the location and connections enough, but with the schools on him and the schools he’ll likely have after him soon, I’d just be a little surprised if he actually ends up a Hawkeye.Guess I don't get why so many are convinced he won't go to Iowa. I get that he has raised some more eyebrows and some bigger fish may come calling. But hasn't DJ not only visited Iowa a lot of times, plus played with a lot of their players in AAU including the McCaffrey's? Seems to be a big10 lean and with it being the home state, I guess I wouldn't be surprised at all.

If you look at the PG play under Prohm (Monté, NWB and Wigginton), compared to the anemic PG play under Fran - who would you rather play for? Now, I'm not suggesting that it is between IA and ISU - but if it were, you'd be completely foolish to go to the Hoks. Not only has Fran not been able to develop strong guard play, any recruit is going to have his hands full trying to pry minutes away from his kids.

ISU recruiting three ten of the "players look primed for a future rankings bump" scout identified from the first eval period.
https://247sports.com/Article/-Noto...-game-buzz-many-new-Big-Ten-commits-117642302
Samuell Williamson, SF, Drive Nation
Heading into the April evaluation periods, buzz was building in Texas around Williamson, a 6-foot-6 wing out of Rockwall (Tex.) High. In our viewing on Saturday, Williamson lived up to expectations scoring 20 points on 7-for-10 shooting and tossing out five assists. For the weekend, Williamson averaged 14.7 points a game. Williamson has good size and length for a perimeter prospect. He also possesses impressive athleticism, that helps him particularly in transition and on the defensive end. He’s a capable shot maker from three with fine mechanics. He connected on all three of his attempts this past weekend. Williamson is also a good rebounder for a perimeter prospect.
Recruiting: Texas, Kansas, SMU, TCU, LSU, Kansas, Baylor, Oklahoma, Iowa State, USC, Texas A&M
Tyrell Terry, PG, D1 Minnesota
Playing on a team loaded with high-major players, it is kind of a surprise that Terry is one who stole the show at times. While he isn't an elite athlete, and he does need to add weight, Terry is the consummate leader at the point guard position. His basketball IQ and feel for the game are off the charts. Terry gets his teammates so many easy looks it is truly incredible. Add in that he is a really good shooter, and finishes surprisingly well in traffic, and it is easy to see why big-time offers came flowing in following his performances this weekend.
Recruiting: Minnesota, Stanford, Butler, Xavier, Iowa State
Dain Dainja, PF, Grassroots Sizzle
A big-bodied 2020 post player at 6-8, Dainja had an impact on the game throughout the UAA event with his physical play. A sure-handed space eater, he was a top 10 rebounder averaging 7.5 rebounds per game. He also did some damage offensively averaging 10.3 points per game. Dainja scored in a variety of ways, including from behind the three-point arc. Although a positional defender, Dainja also blocked just under two shots per game. Currently with a No. 101 ranking in the Top247, he is a strong contender for four-star status.
Recruiting: Baylor, Indiana, Iowa State, Minnesota, Wisconsin and others
Ironic they listed us for Terry and not Iowa. Shoot McCaffrey is sending his kid to play AAU with him, Is actively recruiting him and they don't even get a mention.
