Iowa offer means a lot to Ryan Crotty

Ryan Crotty had an impressive spring on the AAU circuit. The Class of 2025 shooting guard attracted more college scouts with his performance.

Iowa was one of those programs. The Hawkeyes thought so much about it that they offered him a scholarship Friday.

“(Assistant) coach Sherman Dillard called me after Session 2,” Crotty told HN. “He said he liked my game and thought I could fit in really well at Iowa. After my game (Friday), he called me back and offered me.”

Crotty also reports scholarship offers this month from Virginia Tech, Ohio, Old Dominion and High Point. More may be coming soon.

“It really means a lot to me, knowing that it’s a historically great program and has a winning history,” Crotty said of Iowa’s offer. “There have been a lot of good shooters coming through there lately, so to get this offer and know that they believe in me really means a lot.”

Crotty (6-6, 180) plays for the Miller School in Charlottesville, Va., after beginning his prep career at Holly Springs (NC) High. He races with Boo Williams on the EYBL AAU circuit after a stint with Team Curry.

None of the major scouting websites are ranking Crotty as of the publication of this story. This should also change soon with its game and its new Power 4 offering.

“I really want to visit (Iowa) soon to learn more about the academics and the program as a whole. I don’t have a visit planned yet. I’m hoping to go this summer or fall,” he said. said.

Crotty feels a good connection with the Hawkeye coaches.

“So far, from the conversations I’ve had, I really like the staff and they have confidence in my abilities,” he said.

Crotty is undecided about a college major.
