Mike Gesell is still one of the top recruits that Fran McCaffery has landed during his time with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Gesell never panned out to be the star player Iowa was hoping for when he committed to the Hawkeyes prior to the 2012-13 season, but he did give them solid production for four years.
He finished off his senior year averaging 8.1 points, 6.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Gesell also shot 40.3 percent from three-point range as he started all 33 games he played in. There was never much talk among NBA teams about signing Gesell, as he wasn’t even invited to participate in summer league.
