The Iowa Hawkeyes were in the mix for one of the top Division II guards in the transfer portal. Former Lincoln Memorial guard Wes Enis included Iowa basketball among his six finalists.
Iowa joined Minnesota, West Virginia, NC State, DePaul and South Florida among Enis' finalists. A native of Conover, Ohio, Enis visited Iowa last week.
But, On3's Joe Tipton broke the news that Enis had opted for South Florida, committing to the Bulls on Thursday evening.
The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 20.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 44.9% from the field, 41.1% from 3-point range and 84.6% from the free-throw line last season with the Railsplitters.
As first-year head coach Ben McCollum and the Hawkeyes look to completely retool their roster, Iowa has already landed a series of guards.
That group includes Drake transfer guards Bennett Stirtz, Kael Combs and Isaia Howard along with Kansas State transfer guard Brendan Hausen.
Stirtz earned Missouri Valley Player of the Year honors after averaging 19.2 points and 5.7 assists per game while shooting 49.8% from the field and 39.5% from deep.
Combs averaged 3.8 points and 2.0 rebounds per game while shooting 51.1% from the field and 80.0% from the free-throw line, while Howard averaged 4.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game on 43.5% shooting from the field and 31.1% marksmanship from 3-point range.
Hausen was one of the nation's top 3-point shooters last year, knocking down 90 from beyond the arc last season to rank fifth in the Big 12. The Amarillo, Texas, product averaged 10.9 points and 2.5 rebounds per game while shooting 39.0% from the field, 38.8% from 3-point range and 81.8% from the free-throw line. Of his 277 field goal attempts last season, 232 came from beyond the arc.
Iowa has also added Drake transfer forwards Tavion Banks and Cam Manyawu and saw forward Cooper Koch withdraw his name from the transfer portal and opt for a return to Iowa City.
