With the football team on a bye this past week and basketball season inching ever closer, now seems like the perfect time to check in on recruiting news for Fran McCaffery and the Iowa Basketball Hawkeyes. Oh yeah, and there was this kid who happened to be the highest rated recruit since the creation of the Rivals database to commit to Iowa last week. So yeah, probably a good time to get caught up.
Here’s a quick look at how things look from a scholarship perspective:
