Men’s hoops signs four recruits

On Wednesday, Iowa men’s basketball head coach Todd Lickliter announced the signings of four recruits for the 2010-11 season.

The Hawkeyes’ 2010 class consists of Devyn Marble, Zach McCabe, Cody Larson, and Ben Brust.

A native of Southfield, Mich., Marble is the son of Iowa’s all-time leading scorer, Roy Marble. He is listed at 6-5 and 180 pounds. As a junior in high school, the younger Marble averaged 22 points and nine rebounds per contest.

McCabe is the lone in-state recruit, hailing from Sioux City. The 6-7 forward was a teammate of current Hawkeye freshman Brennan Cougill at Bishop Heelan. During his prep junior campaign, McCabe averaged 16.1 points, nine rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game.

Larson comes from Sioux Falls, S.D. He averaged 17.8 points and 9.5 rebounds per game last year.

Brust is a 6-2 guard from Mundelein, Ill., who averaged 27.5 points per contest last year before breaking his right ankle.

“This class accentuates the positive team approach we’re emphasizing,” Lickliter said in a statement. “We love the versatility, basketball knowledge, and skills they possess.”
