Sunday then to Lubbock.

"The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Paris native will visit Ames this coming weekend on April 20-21, sandwiched between visits to West Virginia (April 18-19) and Texas Tech (April 22-23)."

Does he have an announced decision date? Sounds like he wants to get this going.

No announced date though I'd expect it would be by the first week in May.

I think the visits being back-to-back-to-back was to allow his parents to accompany him on the visits and meet the coaches. I assume they'll all go through the pro's and cons and be with him when he announces prior to heading back to France.

Going to be a wonderful day weatherwise for the visit...of course, it always like this in Ames, Clarence.

Morgantown to Ames to Lubbock. Dude might decide to go back to France.

Update.
Harris Jr. to the Pokes

@ebosshoopsFour-star shooting guard Chris Harris will play in the Big 12. Off to #GoPokes

Very logical choice. Play in front of no fans on a close to last place team or play for Tech, fantastic coach, who just competed in the National title game. Ummm I think I will play for Okie State.

Shouldn't be difficult for Ames to stand out

Fingers crossed!!!

This escalated quickly. Wheeler will be in Ames tomorrow and plans on announcing May 6th.

@DMcDonaldRivals 4-star 2019 PG Sahvir Wheeler starts an official visit to Iowa State on Monday. Took an official visit to Georgia this weekend. Aiming for a decision on May 6th.

That certainly doesn't hurt our cause.

I would be disappointed if we don't land Wheeler, guy was recruited almost exclusively by guys with Murray State connections. The only one left who is still coaching at a P5, program (Assistant or Head coach) is one Steve Prohm.

A top 100 kid added this late in the process would be amazing.

I worry about about his size at 5 ft 8 in regardless of 4 stars. Trust CSP I guess.

I look forward to the idea of a quick little pain in the @$$ being a problem for other teams. We need a play maker. Here we go.

I would absolutely LOVE watching JorBo try to stop Wheeler from getting into the paint and wreaking havoc.

From the small amount of highlight tape I have seen on the prep prospects I would say:
Wheeler is a true PG, good handle and passer. Ability to shoot the 3 and finish at the basket. He is undersized which could take a bit of adjustment. Monte Morris type.
Nadolny is a combo guard who can score in waves. Tough defender with solid size for his age who compete 40 minutes. Naz or NWB type player.
Grill is a SG, who has a quick release and good athleticism and height to play some SF. Matt Thomas comp (with better hops).

While I believe Tyrese will enter the season at the PG role and will be good there, Prohm has always had a score first combo PG to run his system (Caanan, Payne, Monte, and Lindell/NWB). TH hasn't shown the scoring mentality yet (it's early) and he'll will want another option with Tre. The one thing this team could use is a true 3 pt threat, Nixon will do that but it is his last year, the hope is Lewis steps up but if not Grill would fit that role nicely.

In theory ISU could use all 3 of the prospects, but having Leech (SG/SF), Jackson (CG) lessen the need for a true guard. While I am sure Prohm would take all 3, I would guess he is prioritizing a score first PG (one of Nadolny/Wheeler) and Grill for a shooting threat.

All that said, we shouldn't get to excited and rank priorities yet, nor should we panic if ISU fails to get commitments. I'll guess we'll hear about more visits being set from transfers and even preps into May, this staff does a good job keeping their who they are in contact with under wraps from the media.

I so badly want Leech to come in balling.

Nadolny isn’t committed but just posted this signaling that his visit is probably wrapped up.

 

[Stewo]

That number 2 is available...

He looks good in C & G, tho!

 

[Dandy]

F*** it go let’s freshman only to fill the scholarships. Wheeler, Nadolny, Grill. Young next year but great young talent.
