      Cedric Tomes committed to Minnesota this weekend. He's an undersized scoring PG. He's extremely talented but it will be interesting to see how he handles the Big Ten.

        Jaidyn Coon committed to Creighton last night. His dad was a former UNI player but pretty sure he played for Greg McDermott, so the connection makes sense!

          Iowa fans are shocked that he didn't end up in Iowa City

            He played for Sam Weaver, fwiw.

            He'd been a heavy Creighton lean for a while. Not a surprise no matter how Hawk fans feel...

              I'm pretty sure most of them are still in shock that LeBron James picked the NBA over them somehow.

                It looks like we are in contact with Rho Omed. He is listed as a 6'10" wing out of The Academy Prep in Georgia.

                2026 6’10 wing Rho Omed out of The Academy Prep HS (GA) tells me that he’s heard from St. Joe’s, Marshall, Northern Iowa, Coastal Carolina, St. Louis, Illinois State & College of Charleston. @Nolimitrho.

                  I love the fact that Tuttle and G realize there are basketball players outside of Iowa, the Cities and, maybe, Green Bay.

                    We had an unofficial visit yesterday from Zavier Zens. He's a 6'7" F from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and Wisconsin Lutheran. We also offered him a little over a week ago. He also holds offers from Drake, Bradley, Miami (OH), and Wyoming.

                      A little update on our 2026 targets. They are all blowing up quite a bit this summer.

                      Julian Washington has received offers from Loyola, Xavier, VCU, and Virginia Tech

                      Colin Rice has received offers from Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, and Northwestern.

                      Nolen Anderson has gotten offers from Drake and Toledo

                      Our other offers have also been playing well. Ben McCollum going to Iowa is going to be annoying as he is targeting a lot of the same guys. We talked a lot about Fran targeting Valley guys too much but McCollum clearly has a similar pattern. Nolen Anderson, Landon Davis, Ethan Brown and Zavier Zens are also being pursued by Iowa at this point.

                        I was concerned about this, but I think G and Tut have broadened our recruiting footprint quite well.

                        I see McCollum spending most of his NIL budget on 1-2 Stirtz level guys and then filling out the roster with role players at the Valley-ish level that are more cost effective.

                            I added him to the list. Great athlete at 6'10" with great touch around the hoop. Looks like he already has offers from Drake, Loyola, and Nevada as well. He plays on the same AAU team with other targets Jaidyn Coon, Christian Wiggins, Cedric Tomes and Nolen Anderson. Anderson and Kreager are the only two out of that group yet to commit.

                              We just extended an offer to Kingston Whitty. He's a 6'2" PG from Atlanta, GA. He is a pretty special offensive talent from the video below. He holds offers from several schools including Liberty, New Mexico State, UIC, Belmont, Chattanooga and others. Absolutely love the way this kid handles the ball and and can get his own shot.

                                Ethan Brown also picked up an offer from Illinois today. I assume the Iowa offer is coming soon as well.
