Jason Gardner sr. played at IU, I believe. Very good player back in the day.
Stand corrected...guess he played HS ball in indiana.
He was Indiana's Mr.BB in 1980.
Currently on coaching staff at Arizona.
Would be surprised if his son does not play at zona.
His dad asst for women’s team. Former HC at coe and upper Iowa and mom played at uni early 00s.
CF number 1 this year not sure if anyone was McCollum looking at. One guy Gerdes had an offer under Fran but committed to uni.
His grandma is one of the best human beings I've ever met in my entire life.

Probably wind up at Washington.
Ben is doing all he can to build a top notch program. Guard play is critical in the college game.

It's like QB in FB...most valued position earns more

Iowa is for sure in it, he loves McCollum and staff. We're recruiting him heavily. I would't count on any official visits until summer/fall - from anyone.
Sadly, TJ at ISU seems to have a hammerlock on SE Wisconsin region and is involved with this recruit. That pipeline has kept ISU near top of big 12 since TJ arrived.
I'm more worried about Wisconsin with the Kohen bros. You're not wrong though...hopefully TJ finds himself at Kansas or UNC quickly!
Another site keeps talking about a buzz around men's basketball recruiting. I would like to believe our 2027 recruiting will be highly ranked but I have Fran derangement syndrom when it comes to basketball recruiting. We were the bridesmaid far to often. Hope Ben changes that trend.
A guard from Saint Louis, Jimmy McKinney, has told people that Iowa is in the lead for his recruitment. His dad was a player at Mizzou.

Live in the area. Seen him play he’s good. Usually the type that ends up at Marquette in the past. Although they are really down.

I think this kid could be legit
How many total guys have we offered? Seem to have cast a wide net...
I'm much more confident about Thompson sticking around than I was before his interview.

It might be an uphill battle against Wisconsin. He called the offer a "dream come true" although anything can happen.
Maybe, but he freaking LOVES McCollum, Sash, and how we used guards.
I think he plays for Celtics but if he has eligibility
( he does,only played 1 year at cal), we'll take him.
We're being aggressive with guards this cycle, as we should. But make no mistake, McCollum remains picky. He mentioned in an interview that '27 was heavy with high quality guard talent. This would explain our seemingly extreme selectiveness with the '26 cycle.
13 offers so far for 2027:
--> 7 Point Guards
--> 3 shooting guards
--> 3 Small Forwards
4 of the 13 have committed to other schools.

I am too. Impressed by his confidence, abilities, and character. He sure seems to be devoted to Ben and the program, as well as learning from the seniors.

I do too. The offer lists are slightly worrying because it reminds me a bit of the Fran 4* but that's me being paranoid.
We have posters concerned about next season losing Stirtz and his scoring. Aside from bringing in a point guard the scoring may come more from the wings and up front. Whether Banks returns or not Thompson I think will play a big role in the rotation. Add to that Harris for when we want to play small. Sage can score and hopefully gets better with his three ball.
Then you add in the bigs with Folgueiras just getting better. Jirak seems looks like he can develop an effective shot and already passes really well from the high post. We have the right coach to stir the pot right.
Don't rule out Combs. Does't turn the ball over and is a solid defender. You also left Cooper off your list, he will only get better.
Thanks for pointing this out. I like Cooper and think he has much potential. I only listed the players I did because of their immediate potential to contribute offensively. I like Combs too whether we get much scoring from him or not. Spot on observation from you.
I think Combs will avg 10-12ppg next year. His # will be getting called a lot with Stirtz gone. Surround him with shooters and he will do some damage in the paint
