Recruiting - 2013

Tonight is a good night. Just got a commitment. 2013 class just got stronger. 1 more scholly to give and 2 visitors this week.

 

And he's from Texas. Texas and Iowa have been pretty good to us.

 

Hopefully he has grown up a bit since highschool ... not a fan of the anger.

Hopefully he's a good fit... recruiting profile above the AE...

Here is his verbalcommit.com page. Originally went to Utah and has some good ratings. http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/anthony-odunsi

Him and Hooley in the backcourt would both go about 6'4"

Originally committed to Iowa State in 2011 and was granted his release. http://utah.rivals.com/barrier_noentry.asp?sid=1141&script=content.asp&cid=1208766&fid=&tid=&mid=

That's not the first thing you want to see when you hit google, that's for sure. To his credit, he took responsibility and said all the right things afterward. Those kinds of things will happen in practice now and then, too bad for him it happened during a game. It was two years ago and it was high school, hopefully it's in the past.

 

As a player, this is the kind of guy I was hoping for. Bigger guard, who can shoot from the outside and get his own shot. Actually a better player than I was realistically hoping for. 50% from the field, 40% from three and over 80% from the line. He can handle the ball pretty well as his assist numbers show. Joined with Evans, Hooley and Fulton we can have multiple guys with point guard skills on the floor at the same time.

Yep, like the talent and size a lot...hopefully the head is on straight now.

And he plays defense.

I believe the spring signing period begins tomorrow.

Big recruiting weekend coming up...

I wonder if Andrell Cumberbatch is now essentially out after the Odunsi commitment?

It will be interesting to see who the last scholarship goes to. Another guard depending on how healthy Tanner Gibson is? It looks like we have:

PG: DJ Evans, Lamin Fulton

SG: Hooley, Tanner Gibson, Odunsi

SF: Gary Johnson, Dallas Ennema

PF: Sam Rowley, Luke Devlin, Dave Weigmann

C: John Puk, Shengelia

If I had to put money on it...it goes to a guard or wing that can stretch the floor with an outside shot.

Maybe a secret Iati brother we haven't heard about before. An outside sniper would make sense.
