Q&A: Junior SG A.J. Green Talks Recruiting and Having Father Who Is An Assistant at Northern Iowa

A.J. Green, a 6-foot-3 junior shooting guard from Cedar Falls (IA) High, is one of the top shooters in the Class of 2018. Green, who received a scholarship offer from Minnesota earlier this season, scored 41 points with eight three-pointers in an 85-77 loss to Hopkins December 3rd.

Green averaged 17.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game as a sophomore, while shooting 47% from the field, 44% from three-point range and 90% from the charity stripe.

Scout.com rates Green as a four-star recruit and the No. 87 player in the 2018 class.

Green's father, Kyle, is a Northern Iowa assistant and he has a Panther offer, but that hasn't stopped other teams from recruiting the talented shooter.
