She retweeted the story.. but also retweeted a Dawn Staley tweet about a player writing her a hand written letter thanking her for recruiting her.. hopefully a rejection letter

 

[Hogeyes]

It's a no brainer where the best place for her to be. Hopefully she sees that

I think she'll be a hawk

 

[HMB Trumpet]

The Woliczkos are good people. It would be great to have them as Hawkeyes along with their talented daughter.

It was interesting that Addison Bjorn's Dad told McKenna's Dad about the Iowa culture so he reached out to Iowa.

 

[Kkhawk]

She will be a Hawk.

Where did she go?

 

[Matt1nb7]

Where did she go?

Nowhere yet.. she has a top 15 from January that Iowa’s in.

Rumors that she was going to Texas from awhile ago.. heard stuff about her liking Uconn.

Any shot? She's a name I kind of forgot about.

Iowa coaches still occasionally like her instagram posts.. and apparently her dad likes Iowa’s culture!

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that she commit to Iowa.

Thank you.

 

[Hawkangler]

I have always dreamed of a Lewis, Woliczko, Bjorn class. Sometimes dreams do come true. Can you imagine the excitement with the Iowa fan brigade? Addison has not scheduled a visit so not sure what will happen with her.

The whole family came last year on their own dime, and it sounded like the whole family loved their experience. I think Iowa is her last visit because she is ours to win or lose. She even made some comments about hoping it goes the way she thinks it will. The whole "family culture" thing is Iowa womens basketball to its very core. Not to mention she'd start at the 3/4 day one, alongside possibly the best lineup (certainly the highest ranked as a group), Iowa's ever had with Deal, Wright, ERod, Heiden/Hays. First week of Sept. she commits to Iowa....

I am 70% no, 30% yes. I don’t believe Iowa is her top choice. Things could change though… and quickly.

What leads you to that conclusion. I'd lean exactly the other way. 70-75% yes for Iowa. Literally everything she has said is important to her is EXACTLY what Iowa is. She an her whole family were here and they loved the culture. We've since added Deal and Hays and they both LOVE the place, their team mates and coaches.

I say the opposite, or maybe even 80-85% hawks

Hawkeye 1984 is probably a closet Debbie/Clown fan… I haven’t heard one positive take from him/her ever…

What would make things change quickly?

If the prediction turned out to be wrong...both bases are covered.

Imagine that!

He isn't a Hawk fan for sure. You are correct, never a positive post for the Hawks. We are going up against a multi-year national champ in South Carolina, the home school in USC and the Buckeyes. It won't be easy to get her to Iowa but I'm optimistic Jan can pull it off. She is the most critical recruit this year to fill the void when Hannah moves on to the WNBA.

Here we go again with a so called fan doing nothing but hating on the Hawks..dude nobody wants to listen to your BS go away.

I actually think she is Iowa's to lose.
If they knock the visit out of the park I don't see how they don't get a commit that weekend.

 

[ObeseMuffins]

What are her playing prospects if she chooses South Carolina ?

 

[SCHawkFan]

Being a top ten recruit, her playing prospects are very good at any school she might choose.

Maybe, but not the same as at Iowa probably. Staley has had some pretty highly ranked recruits who didn't did't get "star run" as young players because of the depth of talent at her disposal. Fulwiley was a huge star coming in to SC and she only started 3 of 77 games there. She averaged 11 points a game for those 2 seasons. (Not the kind of run she'd have gotten at many schools). She ended up transferring to LSU her Jr. season.

Right, I'm sure this team is loaded with 5 and 4 stars.

 

[ObeseMuffins]

Her dad does present as a helicoptor dad. What happens if she's not getting enough playing time?

 

[o_jedn]

Won’t be a problem if she is a a Hawk.

 

[Hogeyes]

She'll be starting and playing alot

 

[Scott559]

What leads you to draw this conclusion? What type of Dad do you consider they are when they move to Iowa to follow their daughter?

 

[TheGreatDivider101]

You probably said the same thing about Jay Higgins dad.

 

[Aflachawk]

She will be a Hawk.

From your lips to gods ear

 

[iThinkiWill]

I’m feeling some positive vibes!

?? They're in the middle of deciding where she's going to spend the next 4 years of her life. Its good he's invoved right now.

 

[Franisdaman]

Culture fit (and a family feel) is what matters to the family.

Will it be Iowa or South Carolina? The dad says she might make her college choice right after the visit (maybe on the visit?).

Stuelke out (graduating), Woliczko in?

I like our chances....
