Iowa recently offered 2023 power forward Carey Booth out of Cherry Creek High School in Englewood, Colo. The 6-foot-10, 215 pound power forward picked up his offer from the Hawkeyes on April 9.
Booth also plays for Under Armour Association squad KC Run GMC where he’s really started turning some heads. 247Sports director of scouting Adam Finkelstein mentioned Booth as one of the players that stood out in the early portion of this spring’s live period.
“At the Under Armour Association, Carey Booth, the son of of longtime NBA player and current (Denver) Nuggets GM Calvin Booth, made a major impression. Is a 6-10 forward, is just beginning to tap into his vast potential, but showed clear upside on both ends of the floor for KC Run GMC. Xavier, Wake Forest, Marquette and Oklahoma State jumped right in with both Duke and Villanova expected to watch this coming weekend,” Finkelstein said.

As Finkelstein mentioned, Booth is the son of former Penn State star, NBA veteran and now Denver Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth. According to 247Sports, Booth now holds offers from California, Colorado State, Georgetown, Iowa, Marquette, Minnesota, Oklahoma State, San Francisco and Texas Tech. With Booth’s recent play in the UAA, his recruiting rankings across the board should be on the rise in short order.
As it currently stands, Booth is ranked as a two-star power forward by 247Sports. He is rated as the nation’s No. 34 power forward and the third-best player from Colorado by 247Sports. ESPN regards Booth as a four-star talent, then No. 96 player nationally, the No. 12 center and the No. 3 player from Colorado. Booth is without a star rating on both On3 and Rivals.
Iowa currently has one player committed in its 2023 recruiting class, four-star power forward Owen Freeman out of Bradley-Bourbonnais High School in Bradley, Ill. Freeman is ranked as the nation’s No. 83 player overall in the 2023 class, the No. 9 power forward and the No. 2 recruit from Illinois in the 247Sports composite rankings.
