As Hawkeye fans turn their attention to the upcoming football season and all the buzz surrounding fall camp, the Iowa basketball staff has quietly been plugging along, working to fill out the recruiting class of 2019.
As it stands, there are slated to be at least two scholarship openings in the class.
Following this season, Iowa will lose senior Nicholas Baer to graduation. The Hawkeyes are already sitting one spot under the limit of 13 scholarship players with the offseason departures of Ahmad Wagner and Brady Ellingson. And given Tyler Cook’s flirtations with the NBA this offseason, it’s more a probability than a possibility he departs after the 2018-2019 season.
