UNI basketball: Panthers add first 2021 commit in Dubuque Hempstead's Michael Duax

New class, another quality in-state add for Northern Iowa.

Dubuque Hempstead small forward Michael Duax committed to the Panthers Tuesday night via Twitter. After a solid helping on in-state talent in UNI’s last two recruiting classes, Duax becomes the Panthers’ first 2021 commit.

“Excited to share that I have committed to the University of Northern Iowa!!,” Duax wrote in in his commitment. “Go Panthers ud83dudc9cud83dudc9b”

A 6-foot-5 jack-of-all-trades player who can also rock the rim with highlight dunks, Duax is averaging 20.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game for a Hempstead squad that is currently 13-5.
