On Wednesday, September 23, Tyler Cook, a four-star recruit, committed to play for the Iowa Hawkeyes in the 2016-2017 NCAA Men's Basketball season. Cook is ranked 51st in the ESPN 100, and he was highly recruited by many schools throughout the nation. While colleges such as Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa State tried convincing this young star to sign with them, his final decision came down to either Iowa or Florida. After giving it a lot of thought, Cook took a visit to Iowa. He enjoyed his visit so much that he decided to commit to Iowa.
Tyler Cook is a 6' 9" power forward from St. Louis, Missouri. He will graduate from Chaminade College Prep in 2016. Iowa hopes he will be a great leader and big men for the Hawkeyes who will be losing 7' 1" center this year due to graduation. According to ESPN Staff writer Jeff Borzello, "Cook is a physical inside force who plays bigger than his listed height. He can score at the rim and gets consistent position on the low block." Cook will be joined by another four star recruit Jordan Bohannon and three star recruit Cordell Pemsl. Bohannon is a 5' 10" point guard out of Marion, Iowa who will graduate from Linn-Mar in 2016. Pemsl is 6' 7" power forward out of Dubuque, Iowa from Wahlert Catholic High School.
The Hawkeyes are very hopeful that these recruits will help them to improve even more. The Hawkeyes look very promising for the 2016 season already. As a Hawkeye fan, I am very excited to see what these three will be able to accomplish. I can't wait for the 2016 Hawkeye season as it looks to be a good one for loyal Hawkeye fans.
