Bowen Born

[1UNI2ISU]

Hey, South Alabama isn’t nobody!

You've got him confused with Tyreek Locure.

Born had decent offers. UNI, Drake, Toledo, Bowling Green. Not P5 but defnitely good offers at the mid-major level.

He's small but he'll have a very, very nice career at UNI.

That's a horrible comparison. Holloway would be at the top of the key with his man standing on the FT line daring him to shoot. JH was the poster boy of game managing PG. Born's a shooter with range, a scorer with hops that unfortunately is less than 6 feet tall.

If Tim Floyd was coaching Born he would play like Holloway was asked to play or he wouldn't be playing. Jacy was a well rounded player in high school that was a secondary scorer on a state championship team his freshman year but was more of a primary scorer in each of his next three years. They won the title all 4 years of his career. Just because he wasn't allowed to shoot or create for himself earlier in the shot clock at ISU and was instead asked to facilitate doesn't mean he couldn't.

He's trolling saying we beat out South Alabama for Harris since they were a school mentioned with him like Baylor, Florida, Michigan etc when he entered the portal. He's not a Harris fan obviously lol

Being able to dunk is a not the greatest measure of athleticism.

Right I am like 5'11" and could dunk in high school

 

[Drew0311]

One was small and highly recruited. The other is small and nobody wanted him

yeah but the argument made earlier was he is to small. So which is it? Can’t say he is to small if we just got a guy that is smaller

For me it's the fact nobody wants him. You can overcome being small and still be highly sought after as a recruit like Harris and Tyler Ulis

Michigan and Florida? Oh, is that like we were mention as a finalist for Ozier?

I’m a Harris fan, not a CyTwins logic fan. Harris as a transfer isn’t demand much more than Born in high school. They’re pretty similar imo, hence I like both.

Clearly

Didn't mention athleticism. Being able to dunk two handed off of a jump stop shows core strength. Which I would equate to physicality which was in question.

 

[Drew0311]

Look I like Harris and I am super pumped we got him. Just wish we would have taken a shot with Borne. A home grown legacy recruit would have been nice. He will do
Well at UNI.

People just like good stories. Legacies are inherently good stories.

Posters have been saying both that he is too small and he doesn't have a single P5 offer.

Could the biggest factor be that he was a Barnstormer?

His AAU team didn't prevent him from getting P5 offers

 

[Dandy]

He is 140 pounds

My dog weighs more than this kid.

If anything that should have helped him pull a P5 offer considering they have the best summer schedule of all the travel teams in the state.

Maybe he should be eating what your dog eats.

The organization is anti-ISU- some has to do their feeling Brady Ernst didn’t get treated right in his short time at ISU, some of it is they have stronger connections to IA and UNI’s staffs’. Other than Ernst, name a Barnstormer that went to ISU. But they have been IA and UNI’s farm club. I don’t think it’s been a huge loss for ISU- other than Green and JW, not many of their kids would have moved the needle much in the Big 12. I agree with Twins- BB would struggle at one end of the floor due to his size. But, that program is not pushing kids towards ISU either- they are in Fran’s backpocket.
