Beachwood's Maishe Dailey to Become an Iowa Hawkeye

Maishe Dailey, a 6-foot-6 senior guard at Beachwood High School has chosen to become an Iowa Hawkeye. Dailey had originally committed to Rutgers but changed his mind after Rutgers coach, Eddie Jordan was fired after leading the Scarlet Knights to a 7-25 finish.

The Hawkeyes are another Big Ten team, but unlike the Scarlet Knights, the Hawkeyes played in the NCAA Tournament this year.

However, Dailey may not play right away, hawkcentral.com hints at the possibility of redshirting Dailey.

“When it all clicks, (Dailey) definitely has the potential to be a steal for Iowa,” said David Cassilo, a recruiting analyst from Cleveland for the Prep Hoops Network. “He is a player that has a lot of potential and could be a starter or rotation player around his sophomore year or so. Early on, he’s going to have to build up his body and could potentially redshirt.”

“I consider my IQ, passing and shooting to be my strengths,” Dailey told the Asbury Park Press when he committed.

Dailey had an average of 13.2 points per game and led Beachwood in rebounds. He was also second in assists during a 22-3 season reports Cleveland.com.
