Hawkeye fans, rejoice! Fran McCaffery just may have secured his best recruit yet. Here's what you need to know.
Who is this guy?
Tyler Cook is a 6'8", 240-pound power forward from Chaminade College Prep in St. Louis, MO (so, not the Chaminade that hosts the Maui Invitational). He's a consensus four-star recruit in the Class of 2016, and 247Sports gives him a composite ranking of the No. 74 overall prospect in the class. ESPN gave him the highest ranking we could find, at No. 51 overall. Cook committed on his 18th birthday Wednesday, a few days after visiting Iowa during the night game at Pittsburgh last weekend.
