Video: McCaffery talks about adding another player
May. 6, 2010 8:03 pm
New Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said Thursday night he hopes to add at least one more men's basketball player before the team takes the court this fall.
“I would anticipate at least signing one,” McCaffery said at the Des Moines County I-Club banquet in Burlington. “We may shut it down there, we may keep going. Again, it's always a question is who are we signing and in a perfect world we'd probably get at least one, maybe two. If it's not the right fit, we wouldn't do it. I think we need another guard. We only have three (guards) right now. It'd be nice to add at least one more guard and maybe one more big. We'll see.”
McCaffery said he has received a good response from the state's AAU coaches.
“It's been phenomenal, and it will continue to be a big part of my day just reaching out to those AAU coaches and making sure they understand what we're trying to do what we're looking for and develop relationships that will endure for a long time,” McCaffery said.
