According to the latest Pat Harty blog entry on the Press-Citizen website, Chipola Junior College point guard Malcolm Armstead has basically eliminated Iowa from his list of possible schools.
Armstead will reportedly choose between Oregon and St. John's. He also had received offers from Arkansas, Iowa and Providence.
While Armstead has made no public declaration that Iowa is out of the running, he has yet to even visit the campus. It appears Armstead's interest in Iowa was only luke-warm, contrary to what Harty had heard at one time.
In his blog, Harty wrote that someone close to the Iowa athletic department had informed him that Armstead had been a "silent commitment" to the Hawkeyes. Obviously, it wasn't true.
This means Iowa's 2009-10 roster may be complete. However, there are many cases in which players off the radar suddenly become of interest to Todd Lickliter, as in the situation with Cully Payne.
If Iowa is unable to secure another point guard, Anthony Tucker better be prepared to play some point as well. Payne is currently the only viable point guard option on the team, though Tucker may be able to fill the role. His meager assist numbers from last season don't bode well for him at that position, though.
