Fast forward to the 3:00 minute mark and he is specifically asked about Iowa State. Continues to talk about his recruitment more after that. He says he was most shocked to hear from Oregon and Butler (haven't offered yet). And also says he doesn't have a set timeline on his recruitment but would be ready to pull the trigger whenever he finds the right fit. I think it would be advantageous for us to get an unofficial in the next couple weeks and/or an official in September.

His description of the ideal school bodes well for ISU. Someone who cares, will make me a better person, etc. Prohm checks those boxes (as do many coaches but not all).

Show him the Burton highlight reel on his upcoming visit. A lot of similarities in the dominant lefty style


What AAU team is that he is on? The Hoopers? I've never heard of them in Chicago before

edit: just looked them up and oddly enough like 5 guys from 2016/2017 are signed/playing with DMACC. Thought that was strange

Update with Horton-Tucker, promising for ISU but sounds like he's very open to wait for a while to make any decisions.

IOWA STATE: "I don't have any visits set yet but Iowa State is definitely a school that I want to get to in the fall. I like their style of play and they're a competitive team year after year."

I'm cherry picking from the article, but I liked this part as well:

Horton-Tucker said that out of his five official visits, he definitely wants to get to Iowa State at some point and said Michigan State and Ohio State might be on the list too but nothing is official.

Side note, I know people were making fun of Cade Thompson in the tyler Harris thread for tweeting at/about a recruit but CyCloneFanaticFan on twitter legitimately tweets at any recruit ISU has any remote interest in. Pretty sure if you have a rivals profile and can point out Iowa on a map, this dude will tweet at you about Iowa State

Yeah, Josh is always posting cringe-worthy stuff on Twitter.

Yes, he's the worst. I presume he's fairly young. He's enthusiastic so I guess that's a good thing.
