Iowa basketball: Barkari Evelyn addition big for 2020 tournament hopes

There hasn’t been a lot going the Iowa basketball team’s way since the 2019 NCAA Tournament with multiple transfers, NBA draft declarations, and the surprising announcement of Jordan Bohannon’s injury.

Expected to land a graduate transfer or two with the newly opened up scholarship spots, the Hawks struck out on a few guys.

They finally landed one though when Valparaiso graduate transfer guard Bakari Evelyn announced his commitment to the Iowa basketball program yesterday.

In Evelyn, the Hawks finally gain some depth in a backcourt that has been absolutely depleted the last two months.
