The first signing day for class of 2019 high school basketball players has wrapped up, and Iowa State received three commitments.

The class consists of three three-star recruits. 247 Sports has the class ranked 61st in the nation after last year’s class was ranked No. 28.

Luke Anderson is the gem of the class so far. He’s the highest-rated recruit of the three and reportedly held offers from schools like Dayton, Xavier, Kansas State, Florida State and Georgia.

At 6-foot-8, Anderson has Big 12 height already and could be a key piece as Iowa State’s frontcourt will have to replace Solomon Young, Mike Jacobson and Zoran Talley Jr. within the next two years.

“If you talk to Luke, he doesn’t really want to be given a position,” said coach Steve Prohm. “He’s a four with great skill, great size. He can really stretch the defense, he can make threes, play in pick and roll, can drive guys and score around the basket.

“Luke is really versatile, really skilled, but the biggest thing is he can really space the floor.”

Anderson is joined by an intriguing prospect in Marcedus Leech. Leech is listed at 6-foot-5, and at various points in his recruitment, had reportedly received offers from Kansas, Missouri, LSU, Miami and a host of others.

Leech, who hails from Poplar Bluff, Missouri, has dealt with an odd recruitment since breaking a leg while playing pickup basketball. He missed his entire junior season with the injury and didn’t return until July 2018.

“We kind of stayed the course with him and he showed some loyalty back to us,” Prohm said. “He’s healthy now… he’s got [a] huge upside because of his athleticism, his ability to score off the dribble and his ability to make shots.

“His ceiling is really high and I think a couple of years down the road everybody could say, ‘Man, where did this guy come from?’”

The final member of the current 2019 class is combo guard Tre Jackson from Blythewood, South Carolina.

Jackson stands at 6-foot-1, and he can play either guard spot, Prohm said. He reportedly held offers from South Carolina and Buffalo, among others.

“He brings a toughness, he brings an energy to his team,” Prohm said. “His ability to play both guard positions is huge and he can really shoot the basketball.

“He’s a tough kid and I’m really looking forward to getting him into our program because he checks all the boxes from an intangibles standpoint.”

Prohm also mentioned that recruiting won’t stop just because the Cyclones have filled the three open scholarships left by the seniors leaving this season. Sophomore guard Lindell Wigginton’s name has swirled through NBA Draft talks, and the Cyclones have seen a player transfer out of the program every season during the Prohm era.
