Norwalk Vs Osky at Wells

[DeereClone]

You don’t get exposure playing high school basketball. The exposure comes from
Playing AAU basketball. College coaches never go to high school games.

Btw remeber Mike Born went the first two years to Nebraska Omaha before transferring to Iowa State. I could see Bowen going and doing something like that. Getting stronger and filling out and then transferring to a bigger school.

College coaches are at high school games all the time, it’s part of them building a relationship with the recruit and the high school coaches.

Don't need a shot clock? Lowest scoring game by a losing team since what the 50's. Foot ball has a play clock and baseball has a rule to speed up the pitcher.

Does he need more exposure? He’s already considered one of the top recruits in the country.

Honestly after watching him in that game I’m not sure that he’d be looking for better competition either - he certainly wasn’t dominant and I’m guessing Henry takes him to school every day in practice.

didn't someone say he wanted a Duke offer? Playing at a prep school in Cali vs. a 3A school in Iowa might help slightly in getting bigger teams to see you more.

Oskaloosa won but i don't understand what they are doing on offense. You have a 7ft blue chip recruit in foster and another 6'10 kid who is going to UNI but they have their guards jacking up jumpers all game. All foster does is set picks all game. He hardly even posted up. Very very strange.

Osky has played that way all year. This is the first game where I've really seen them play their two big guys down low more then they have all year. Which won them the game as the size difference was too much for Norwalk to overcome.

Xaviers dad is one of the coaches. Not sure if he is shopping around for a coaching job or not, but sounds like Foster will be in Cali next year. Xavier doesn't play or look like a 4 or 5 star. Pretty lazy and seems to be a head case. He fell during the Winterset game and his teammate went to help him up and he shoved his teammate out of the way. Right now I guess he might fit in well with ISU. Has a lot of maturing to do and really needs to work on work ethic.

Osky had a great game plan for Norwalk. Born tore them up in Norwalk this year and this game they finally shut him down and Norwalk just got out rebounded. Giving Osky too many second chance opportunities. Heck of a game though, would have liked to see another 2 to 3 periods played.

Weird “excuse”

Not like a family vacation just pops up out of nowhere.

I really don’t know what the Fosters interest in ISU or Iowa really is. Seems to me they just use both schools to get free tickets to games when they want to see some good basketball
