Iowa City West guard Wyatt Lohaus blew up this summer on the AAU
circuit and helped lead to his commitment to Northern Iowa. But why did he
pick the Panthers?
Why did you pick UNI?
"I took my visit on Wednesday and
really liked it. I felt comfortable with the coaching staff and the players. It
really seemed like a good fit for me so I didn't feel the need to wait when I
had the perfect fit right here."
What other schools were you
considering?
"There weren't really any others. I had an idea from
the schools that offered me that I liked Northern Iowa more than others. After
the visit and talking to my family and coaches, that really backed it up. UNI
was really the only one I was seriously considering."
What was it
like adding five scholarships in a short period of time?
"That was
pretty crazy. It happened in two days so going from no offers to five was crazy.
My phone was ringing all the time so it was fun."
How much
percent would you say you are committed?
"100%. I am really, really
strong in my commitment. I really like UNI."
What are your plans
to workout now?
"Right now, I am taking a couple of weeks off from
basketball but I'll keep lifting. Then after that, I'll start getting back into
the gym and getting ready for the school season."
How did a
summer of AAU go?
"It went pretty good. Our team did well. We made
it pretty deep in all of the tournaments we were in and it went well for me
personally."
