Interesting that there is more discussion about the portal than high school recruiting.
The high school recruits that we can afford will rarely come in and make an instant impact. Transfers are a more known commodity and the ones we can afford could help us get back to the tourney.

6'5" four-star wing Jack Kohnen is one of Iowa's top targets. He's out of Slinger, WI.

Josh Sash was in the Milwaukee suburbs on Monday night to watch him live.

Hopefully we can get this guy at a good price!

Apparently he's 5'11.....

Check this out and watch:


With the last name McCollum, he has to be Iowa bound, right?

At first glance, I thought he is way too small and his shooting form is awkward. But I thought the same thing about Steph Curry when he was at Davidson.

In fact, the way this kid shoots, curls around screens, steps back and fires, all look similar in style to Steph Curry. (Yes, obviously that means I am saying he is as good as Steph Curry ☺️.)

Clear factor for the kid was depth of incoming and current forwards on the Hawks roster. But there are many other factors too and he chose the Clowns. We’ll see if it works out for him.
From my perspective, we need more immediate help at the point and off guard positions when Combes is done, so if this means we’ll get someone to fill those slots, then I think that’s better for us.

Yesterday marked the start of the first evaluation period of the spring. Ben and Josh Sash were courtside in Memphis for two of Iowa’s top guard targets in the 2027 class (four star 6'0" PG Cayden Daughtry and four star 6'1" PG Jaxson Davis).

Iowa recently had an in-home visit with Davis.

Speaking of Cayden Daughtry, he had 37 points and 5 assists on 15-of-23 (65%) shooting in his team's
100-80 win over Nightrydas on Friday afternoon at the EYBL Session 2 in Memphis.

Also in Memphis yesterday: Ben & Josh Sash were watching four star 6'5 small forward Jack Kohnen, who recently visited Iowa City.
