Just saw this. Looks like Jamison is off the board. This could be good news because the staff may have backed off due to others coming in???
Time will tell.

I was listening to a podcast earlier this week and it sounds like he had a pretty bad summer and everyone but Baylor stopped recruiting him. He committed there before his stock dropped a lot

Jalen Davis from Washington is visiting October 3rd. Top 20 player in the 2027 class
Interesting. I knew Jaxon Davis was a possibility but Jalen is more a combo guard. I wonder if he’d be in addition to Daughtry and Jaxon or if it’s a first one to commit type of thing.

Agreed, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. He wasn't even going to visit but something fell through at another school.
With CD? That doesn’t make sense since Ben’s been on him a long time, Iowa was the only official he had scheduled for months and has been the slight favorite to land him for a bit.

Jalen is a top 30 player in the country, recruited by UCLA and Gonzaga, he is definitely not a fallback. Jaxson Davis who is being heavily recruited by MSU isn't either. Ben and coaches would welcome any of these guards with open arms.
Do you think the staff would prefer CD or JD if they were honest? I’d be thrilled with either but I wonder if there wasn’t strategy into getting CD locked up on campus first…

I have no idea what they are thinking or their strategy. With recruits at that level it will take alot to get one of them committed. A commit from a top 50 recruig and top 10 guard would go a long way in Ben's building strategy.

No, Jalen Davis. I think CD is a Hawk.

“Right now” is correct. That could change quickly. Let’s not get overconfident here.
Positive, not confident. CD would be a huge building block for Iowa basketball. I also think McCollum’s coaching would be excellent for CD’s development. CD sees this too. If I had to guess, he commits as long as he likes IC and can see himself living there for a year or two.

that would be amazing and probably shock the so called expert analysts

and he's for sure and 1 and done, right?
He could be but I doubt it...with his perceived size deficiency by the league he's going to need a little fine tuning. If he was 6'4", no question.
