Four-Star PF A'mare Bynum discusses Iowa, Iowa State, and Nebraska

A’mare Bynum is the No. 1 ranked player in the state of Nebraska for the 2025 class. The 6-foot-8, 210-pound power forward attends Bryan High School in Omaha. According to the On3 Industry Rankings, he’s currently ranked as the No. 94 overall player nationally.

The junior big man has taken three unofficial visits so far — Iowa, Iowa State, and Nebraska. He discussed each of those programs with On3.

Bynum talks programs involved

Iowa: “They definitely use all their players. They can shoot the ball very well and they get up and down the court quick. They talk to me every month or so maybe.”

Iowa State: “They play really hard. Coach TJ (Otzelberger), I think he’s a really good coach. They’re recruiting me very well. They call me and text me all the time.”

A’mare’s father, Omar Bynum, played three seasons at Iowa State from 2001-2003.

Nebraska: “I like how they play with spacing. They talks to me about how I can really play well and how they see me fit in the program very well. Like bringing the ball up, being the main ball dominant. I would definitely say (our relationship) is great. They came to my game on Friday and they told me I had a great game.”

Along with those three schools, Bynum says he also hears from Oregon, Colorado, and Tennessee.

What he’s looking for in a school

Bynum isn’t in a rush to make a decision and plans to make a commitment sometime during his senior year. However, he does know what he’s looking for in his future college.

“Definitely a school that would use me the right way,” he says. “Using the type of skill set that I have. Allowing me to play on the wing some and not just be a big man on the post. I’d like to come in and play as a freshman. Not necessarily start, but play a little bit at least.”
