Recruiting Mailbag: Is Iowa recruiting Aidan Shaw? Iowa State transfer portal targets; Xavier Foster to Drake?
•ISU is recruiting Wright State forward (listed as a center in the portal) Grant Basile from the transfer portal, a 6-9 graduate transfer from just outside Milwaukee (with The Register making note of the ISU staff’s city/state connections there) who was a two-year starter in the Horizon League, averaging 18.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game this past season. He is thought of as one of the top available transfers. Notre Dame is another school reportedly making a strong push. The Cyclones have conducted a Zoom recruiting visit with Basile, a source with direct knowledge of Iowa State recruiting told The Register, so that's a positive sign for Iowa State's chances.
•Iowa State is also recruiting Temple point guard Jeremiah Williams, a versatile 6-5 perimeter player and two-year starter who averaged 9.5 points, 4.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game this season. Williams is a Chicago product who played AAU alongside former Iowa State target D.J. Steward with Nike Meanstreets. The Cyclones looked at Williams a bit out of high school, but nothing super serious.
•Ankeny QB JJ Kohl continues to say that Iowa State, Minnesota, Penn State and Illinois are at the top of his list because of the interactions he’s having with them. He’s received offers from Illinois and Wisconsin since mid-February and would like to make visits, but he’s finding it hard to make time for that right now.
•Xavier Foster's father, DaJuan Foster, told The Register that he has reached out to TCU, Drake, SIU, Cincinnati, Prairie View A&M, Missouri, Alabama A&M, Fordham, Creighton, Kent State, Dayton, Charleston, Coastal Carolina, Utah Valley, Cal Baptist and Arizona State. He wants to go out of state and somewhere warmer so Drake does not appear to be in the picture.
