Here's the recruits, and the order I think they'll pan out.
1. Aaron Fuller-underrated, potentially a very good d1 player.
2. Gatens-IMO, vastly overrated, plays like a pf, but is only 6'4".
3. Anthony Tucker-average, nothing special
4. Bawinkel- Another average swingman
5. Jermain Davis- ^^^^^^^^^^
6. Andrew Brommer- IMO, thoroughly unimpressive. Won't turn out to be much of a player.
Really, Iowa is bringing in a lot of players, but not much talent. I don't see them being very good unless Lick really steps up his recruiting. I think Iowa State's class is better than theirs, because it has Buckley, Eikmeier, and Hamilton. Buckley and Eickmeier have the potential to be way above average.
So I take it you've seen all of these guys play on multiple occasions so you can back up these claims?
We brought in 6 last year as well, was that a bad idea too? The classes were very similiar as well, with the exception of Brackins. We have a bunch of 2/3 star kids in this class. They have a bunch of 2/3 star kids in their class as well with Gatens who is a top 100 kid. Honestly, to me, the classes look very similar on paper even though I don't think they have a true point guard which is something they should be looking at as opposed to 18 swingmen.
