Jarrod will be playing in Fort Wayne this weekend with the Iowa Mavericks, not the Barnstormers

that was a fun little read!

Reminds me of the Harrison Barnes speculation frenzy.

I know it goes with the territory on this site, but specualating what a 16 or 17 year old is going to do is madness.

Iowa is really involved. Jarrod really likes Fran.

While I do agree with that usually, I disagree here a little. We have a new coach. I think any recruit with a brain would want to see how this turns out before he commits here. Especially when he can watch a full season before he has to commit. The 2010 class is a little different because they were already on board and recruiting would have been way behind.
