Maybe Iowas most athletic player since Gerry Wright (sir jamalot). He transferred from USC.
He's athletic but there have been others too. Just to name a few...

Roy Marble
Ray Thompson
Ricky Davis
Sam Okey
Chauncey Leslie
Doug Thomas
Tyler Smith
Eric May
Tyler Cook
Keegan Murray

In the recruiting prediction machine, Iowa just got an insider pick to land Jaidyn and a 96% chance to come here. He's definitely already committed just a matter of time of when he announces.
Time is on our side. Dead Period starts Thursday April 2nd and then Portal opens on Tues. April 7th. I expect we will know very very soon the good news on Coon ;)

34” vertical? Thought people were raving about him & his athleticism.
You dont think that is good? Remember David Thompson iirc from NC St ncaa champs who had a 42 inch vertical and he was a noted awesom leaper at about 6 ft 4 inches. A 34" vertical from a taller guy is really very good. A guy who is 6' 6" or slightly taller can reach to over 8 ft and add in the nearly 3 ft vertical and his hand is a foot above the rim

Gerry Wright and Tyler Cook are the two best dunkers I recall. Aaron White was a good jammer off the wing.
A lot of good ones to choose from over the years. Eric May was pretty damn impressive for his height.

No one, though, could throw it down like Doug Thomas.
