I hope that’s not a sign that we’ve struck out on the other primary targets.
Agreed. I suspect they are still hoping to land an initial target but if that doesn't work out then you try to land the next best option.
I've read that Ace Glass (who seems to be a primary target) had a good zoom call with the staff and is planning to visit this week -hope that is true and it goes well.

Yes he’s the one I’m thinking of. I won’t concerned unless he and McKeever end up somewhere else.

If feel like in the portal world being a players last visit not as a good sign. In my mind, I feel as if this visit was scheduled on the off chance something doesn't work out with other targets. This guy might not even be available come next weekend.

Or his spot here might not be available, which is what you mean by “doesn’t work out with other targets.” I hope Glass makes a flight out to Iowa City in the next couple days and I hope the big center is signed and the 6’9” rim wrecker who can’t shoot free throws.

My guess is it’s an either/or scenario with McKeever and the 6’9” Belmont guy.

I feel we have a solid chance at McKeever and Glass. If we can get a player on campus, that is a big selling point.

The Big Ten Huddle podcast feels McKeever is an Iowa lean. Did say his ex-coach is at Arizona State which could impact his decision.

If Glass does make it to Iowa City this week that would be a positive sign.

Would a McKeever/Glass portal class be just what the Hawks need?

Iowa recruiting the transfer portal Zzzzzzzzzzzz! Meanwhile Indiana and Illinois Michigan striking gold. OSU just landed 2 very good transfers, we’re in a holding pattern for players we HOPE to sign. WTF! Glass and McKeever are hopes at this point.
Indiana!? Bahahahaha

They lost 6 players and only 1 returning on scholarship.

They are in a world of hurt again this year.

Meanwhile you get a hard on over the biggest spenders in the B10.

I rate your troll a Zzzzzzzzzz.

Lol at all these impatient babies freaking out already. McCollum just went to the elite 8 with a Missouri Valley roster. He will get his guys, give it time.

FWIW, Apparently Kyan Evans hasn't committed yet and Iowa may be in the mix for him. He is apparently the top gopher portal target and they are speculating he might end up at Iowa.
Here is the article:

According the Sean Bock he is visiting Iowa today:
