'22 Combo Guard Eli King Commits

[CoKane]

And to think that we're likely still getting news on Cam'ron Fletcher next week and could possibly get news on Alex Karaban this summer as well. Even though this spring has been insane for recruiting it could just keep getting better

What's more surprising - all these recruiting wins by TJ's staff or that tiny Caledonia -- a town I've been through countless times -- has a 4-star basketball player?

Excited to watch this talent pile up. Go, Clones.

I suppose the kid played on grass next to the barn.

Not the movie, just the title.

Yea, I know just being a smart ass. Good movie though and Iowa State basketball has got me feeling good too!

This has gotta make baby bro Hok fan crazy.

Nah, I have been informed they are a Field Hockey school.

Somebody just sent me this video taking this afternoon of TJ walking out of the practice facility.

Like a shot machine that pays out big, pauses briefly, pays out a lot more, pauses briefly, pays out a ............

Matt Cambell's gotta be loving what has been going the past month @ ISUMBB

Yes, we knew the performance of both programs was temporary.

Even with the best player in Iowa history and player of the year Fran couldn’t win the Big 10 or get to the sweet 16! And you wonder why players are pulling out of Iowa ******!

If he can shoot like Jimmy in ¨Hoosiers¨, we´ll take him.

After watching highlights, the kid really does remind me of Mac Mclung. Little bit different of a stroke on the shot. However, Very athletic and a lot of speed.

Agree, coming out of high school McClung was also clearly an incredible athlete, and both guys seem to primarily be attackers with the basketball that can finish around the rim in a variety of ways. Between Hunter/Lipsey/King we're gonna see a LOT more free throws being taken in the coming years and hopefully more open looks from the perimeter when they dish it out, too.

Have you ever been happy?

With the recruits we have pulled in? Couldn't be happier.

Thinking you better get a refill on your beotch pills. When do we need to start with the welfare checks on you?

 

[CyLyte2]

I actually believe many on here were ready for TJ after Fred left.

What a missed opportunity.

 

[Tpups21]

I guess you never know but T Hunter is 6'...He would have to be extraordinarily special to be a 1 and done..

Backcourt won't be that crowded...Future is Lipsey, Hunter and King...We will get back to playing alot of 3 guard bball..a welcome change btw..

Agree. Can’t ever have too many talented guards.

MCClung is a leaper, 6-2 white guy.

From the very little I've seen of the two, King appears to be stronger, a bit quicker?, and more of a slasher, but also a leaper. I say this from the little I've seen, but also hearing about his football background.

I expect to see even better things from King this summer and his senior year in HS, if his knee continues to improve. Anyone know how serious his meniscus injury was? Did they stitch it back (not knowing current Orthopedic techniques), or take out a small fragment, medium, or what?

My wife had a chuck removed, I don't think they do that much anymore, especially with elite athletes. They want that cushion from the menisucus.

To all of those who poo poo'd the TJ hire, please line up outside Jamie's office, drop your drawers, bend over and grab your ankles, and repeat after me:

"Thank you sir, may I have another!"

I'm getting real used to these daily emergency recruitment podcasts.

Hilton Magic is on its way back and Otz appears to be the prestidigitator behind it.

But can they get him into a white tux and tails?
