Continuing its recent trend of in-state success, Ben Jacobson and company have landed one of Iowa's elite prospects.
Norwalk guard Bowen Born committed to Northern Iowa Saturday evening via Twitter. Born, who flirted with Power Five intrigue throughout his recruitment, chose the Panthers over offers from Drake, Indiana State and others.
UNI went hard after Born from the jump. The Panthers were his first offer and his first official visit. Jacobson made the lefty point guard a priority — and the efforts paid off. Born marks UNI's fifth in-state commit in the last two classes.
