The 6-foot-10, Bradenton, Florida native is one of the Hawkeyes' top targets in the 2028 class and is currently ranked sixth in the 2028 class according to 247Sports. Lusakueno, who has 20 Division I offers, including from Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Illinois, and Alabama, expressed his gratitude for the hospitality of Iowa's coaching staff on social media, sharing photos of his visit. This marks the fourth official visit Lusakueno has made this month, following trips to Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Illinois. The prospect's willingness to travel to Iowa City for multiple visits demonstrates the high regard in which Iowa basketball is held by elite prospects.",
