Voice of the Hawkeyes Board

While I'm certainly happy for Peter Jok and the Hawkeyes getting his talents,
I'm really hoping that ignoring the obvious talent of
Jeremy Morgan (2 state titles and State tourney MVP), as well as
Wyatt Lohaus (2 state titles and best player in state championship game) does not come back to
bite the Hawkeyes.

Could smooth this over by getting young Wyatt, a junior to rethink his verbal &
take a look at being on the BigTen network all 4 years.

Jok has a much higher ceiling I think then both Morgan and Lohaus. I think Morgan ends up being pretty good at UNI, but I'm not sold on Lohaus yet. I don't know if he's athletic enough to play the point at UNI.

First of all, as an 'eggspert'...I can tell you, generically speaking, that no matter how well a kid does playing HIGH SCHOOL BALL, it does not automatically correlate to COLLEGE BALL. The athletes are far superior on a college floor than you will find on any high school court.

Peter Jok may have not been in the past two state championship games, but that is not entirely because of him, as you suggest. It is still a TEAM GAME. He is still one piece of the puzzle. And yeah, Lohaus outscored Bettendorf 14-13 in the first half. Did he guard all 5 players on the floor all by himself? Its a team game, and West was loaded.

Now I think Lohaus is gonna have a nice college career. Hes a good player. HE'S NOT AS GOOD AS JOK. And that, by God is whose coming to Iowa. So get over it.

Simply put, Lohaus can't carry his Jok strap, p.s I don't really know but just thought it would be fun to say that, I am happy Jok is a Hawk though

Basketball is a team sport. Jok was the only player on his team, Lohaus is surrounded by talent. Also, Lohaus is not a fit for McCaffery's play style, that's why he hasn't (and wont) get a look from Iowa. There's a load of point guards Iowa is after for 14, all will be better than Lohaus.

I aware of that King but was responding to this- Lohaus has been a leader and top player on back-to-back State Champs.

Last year, Dondre was the man. Fran should offer this and that. If he hustles like Oladipo, maybe =)

Taken from hawkeyesports.com, doesn't have a percentage though

High school - - Three-year starter and a senior captain for Washington High School... averaged a team-best 21.2 points and seven rebounds his senior season... led the state with 87 made 3-pointers in 2011... first team all-state, all-conference, all-metro (unanimous) and all-area his senior campaign... 2011 Class 4A Player of the Year... selected to play in the 2011 IBCA and Eastern Iowa All-Star games... entered his senior season with a rivals.com rating of 118 in the country and considered the 36th-best shooting guard in the nation... averaged 16.3 points, five rebounds and two assists his junior campaign... tabbed second team all-state, all sub-state, and first team all-conference and all-metro in 2010... named his team's Offensive Player of the Year, ranked sixth in conference scoring, and first in 3-point percentage (third in the state) his junior year... averaged 12 points, three rebounds and two assists his sophomore campaign... an honorable mention all-conference honoree and was named the team's Clutch Performer of the Year and Co-Offensive Player of the Year in 2009... honorable mention all-league as a freshman... ranked seventh in the state in free throw percentage and 15th in 3-point percentage (2010)... also a member of the Iowa Barnstormers, where he was recognized on five all-tournament teams, and helped the Barnstormers win five tournaments.

Those aren't great stats in HS. I think he can be a 35% 3 point shooter in college though. He'll find his shot. He better hope he does. Or Jok will take all his minutes next year.
