Ben Brust has asked to be released from his Letter of Intent, joining fellow former Iowa basketball signee Cody Larson on the We're not sure we want to play for the Hawkeyes list.
New Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, who also has seen starting forward Aaron Fuller transfer, said Brust, a 6-2 guard out of Mundelin, Ill., asked for his release. Like Larson, McCaffery hopes Brust will reconsider and still come to Iowa.
“He is still very much interested in the University of Iowa," McCaffery said Monday in a statement. "Ben would like us, as a new coaching staff, to pursue and re-recruit him. I have had encouraging conversations with Ben and enjoyed meeting him and his family. We look forward to getting to know Ben more in the recruiting process.”
