Iowa State has officially extended three offers to possible recruits after watching them play over the weekend at the All-Elite Basketball camp in Ames. After confirming the below information with three separate sources, I'm ready to let loose on what could very well be the future of the Iowa State Men's Basketball program.
As reported earlier, Iowa State extended an offer to Minnesota native, John Leuer. Along With Leuer,
ISU re-offered a scholarship to P'Allen Stinnett and has offered to his teammate, 6-6 210 lbs Forward, Andre McFarland.
Both Stinnett and McFarland are teammates of recent five-star-to-be
ISU commit Craig Brackins on the Las Vegas Prospects team. There are some obvious advantages to landing three players that are used to each other and have had plenty of time to gel as teammates. The
ISU coaching staff has carefully analyzed the potential recruits and decided to pull the trigger before it gets any later in the summer.
All three of the above mentioned potential recruits are considered rising prospects with increased attention being paid to them by high-major programs. All three have had increased contact with several major programs and are likely to see even more after their recent play in camp(s). Stinnett was the star over the weekend and is considered a virtual lock to recommit to
ISU. The other two are somewhat undecided at this time but have shown a lot of interest in the program and the coaching staff.
John Leuer is currently being pursued by Kansas, Rice, Minnesota, UNC, and several others. Stinnett has not opened his recruiting up much since withdrawing from
ISU this past spring in the hopes of recommitting for the 07-08 season. McFarland is currently being pursued heavily by USC, Cal, Arizona State, UNLV, Baylor, Georgia Tech, and Texas Tech.
Along with the above mentioned players,
ISU is also hot on the trails of three to five other players that should remain unnamed at this time per the request of my sources.
Look for more exciting Men's Basketball news throughout the week.
UPDATE: There is a possibility that the coaching staff will extend one or two additional offers by the end of the week. One of the two could possibly be for the 08-09 class.
