While most ranking gurus have not released any rankings for the 2028 recruiting class, Iowa Men's Basketball continues its attempt to add talent to the class.
Under the regime of new head coach Ben McCollum, the program has attempted to fill its roster and recruiting classes with versatile players who can stretch the floor while playing multiple positions.
Most of the current forward prospects the Iowa program has made offers to fit the mold of a "stretch" player who can handle the basketball and make perimeter shots at a high rate.
Over the past few weeks, Iowa has extended offers to multiple players, including a 2028 prospect who represented the Latvian Under-16 National Team this summer.
