2015 JUCO or D2 prospect per this recruiting service.

It's official, Chris King (Hoover) is All-State and still available. To give you perspective, the others are; Luke McDonnell 6-10 (UNI commit), Cortez Seales 6-4 (North Dakota commit), Michael Jacobson 6-8 (Nebraska commit) and Daniel Tillo 6-4 (uncommitted).

I know we don't "need" a PG but I would take a flyer on King, have him for 4 or 5 years--can redshirt him if there's a logjam, he really is worthy. Also, Daniel Tillo is a 3-time all-stater and has scored over 2,000 points. Another kid who jumps off the page is Ames star Javan White, a 6-8 F-C from an outstanding high school. Chris Creighton is familiar with all these kid's programs, maybe he can lend a hand. They play damn good
basketball in Iowa.

If you look at UNI's roster (30-3) it is comprised almost exclusively of local Iowa kids.
