Without searching, anyone recall how close we were to getting him? Weren't we in his top 5 or better? . He might have elevated this team to 4 or 5 wins in the Big 12 this year lol.. Looks like he will be a 1 and done

We were like top 7 but nobody thought we had a chance. It was pretty much the Zags and then everyone else. Dude is a beast

It was funny that some people were saying that he wanted to play both football and basketball in college. Ended up choosing the school without football.

Hot take: Fred would have landed him for ISU.
It sounds like a broken record, but man, Fred really screwed up going to the Bulls. If his goal was truly the NBA there were about 15 other franchises he would’ve been a better fit at.

Well he did interview with the Warriors.

Or he is a key piece to the #1 team in the country that has a real shot as a undefeated regular season and will likely be a top 5 pick.
He dominated - 7/10 from 3 and most of them were super deep and/or contested. Also extremely disruptive on defense. Iowa had no answer.
Sounds like a slightly larger version of Steph Curry?

Iowa State had no chance. MIchaelson is killing it on the recruiting trail for them right now. They might land Holmgren as well.
