Green has been following JT the early recruiting period. ISU priority.

Seven-footer JT Rock has coaches flocking to see him

MARIETTA, Ga. -- During last week's live period, JT Rock was drawing big crowds while playing in the Elite 32 and after seeing him play it's easy to see why. A

Sounds like he is pretty open at this point. Iowa will always be able to boast the 'Garza' scenario to a big man. Us... Niang and hopefully Milan. At least we have proximity going for us.

Not sure why anyone would want to play for Fran.

I learned not to bet against TJ with recruiting... especially a high priority.

Would be surprised if Rock doesnt end up a top 40 type of recruit. This one is shaping up to be a huge recruiting battle. Offers already from Iowa State, Iowa, Creighton, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Purdue. Rock and Momcilovic would be a pretty talented frontcourt to build around.

Rock is from South Dakota and I’m pretty confident he has prior relations with TJ because of that

Or higher, remember reading he's on pace to be a McDonald's AA.

Not to be that guy, but are you sure? Cuz hasn't TJ been out of S.Dakota five years?

He was there 2018-19.

Okay. But still...means Rock was only an 8th grader. But I'm sure he's aware of watching Daum and what he did with TJ, so point taken.

Wondering if you have any wing names for us other than Christie? Losing Kalscheur and Holmes so we're going to need another.

I think it’s gonna probably be too late on Christie for us to jump back in. Half the big 10 has offered him since and we’ve put more focus on 3 other recruits. Probably a kid out there somewhere for us if we want him

I doubt we're getting him either that's why I asked if he had any other names.

TJ has Mike Daum to talk up too. Green has every UNI big he developed.

We will find out at 3 if we are still a player for Chatman.

Been thinking if we get Milan and Omaha them and T King will monopolize the 3 and 4 minutes so we could be better off grabbing a true big instead of another wing.

The only true big on the board is Boden Kapke and I think we are to behind for him now. We have prioritized Omaha and Milan over him and lost alot of ground. As much as I love Kapke's game I would rather take a transfer big.
