    *****2026-27 Transfer Portal News*****

    When she says “Missed out on one Canadian but is still looking at the next best Canadian…”, what do we understand here? That Iowa is still looking for the 12th player in Portal or is this about 2027 recruiting the class?

    Rebounding

    It really seems difficult and even unfair to compare two players of such different levels as Caitlin Clark and Kathleen Doyle. And comparing a player we've never seen play seems even more pointless. My mistake for trying to turn a confuse comparison into something more logical. I apologize.

    McKenna Woliczko is a 5-star recruit, #7 in the 2026 class. The most logical comparison would be with other 6-2 PF with similar rankings, such as Toby Fournier (#10 in the 2024 class) and Grace Knox (#7 in the 2025 class).

    I'm already hoping that Caitlin come in to Chloe Johnson OV, just like Geno did by bringing Tina Charles to impress in Olivia Vukosa OV.

    Jan said couple times in that interview last week that the difficulty in completing the roster was all about time and money. And some people who cover Iowa WBB said that the money ran out.

    But nobody expects that from the 11th player on the roster. Chit Chat had 35 mpg last season. Jan said Carnegie and Stremlow can play PG. If Bria does REALLY WELL in practice, she could have something like Callie Levin PT (5 mpg). If she has a bigger role than that, it will be a big surprise and...

    Rebounding

    It might be difficult at begin, but the potential is there. Not just any PF is a starter on the USA Team and wins two gold medals, being named the best PF in both tournaments. I don't think we'll find anything better at clearance sale in the Portal, when Iowa was jump over the Portal to sign a...

    I hope Ava Heiden learns to better control her fouls to play more than the 25 mpg she played last season. Layla Hays probably will have 10 mpg, so there's almost no PT left for a possible third big. I would like to have another big / 12th player just for safety, but it wouldn't be anyone who...

    Apparently, people want Iowa playing 4 out on offense and have two big on defense. That's kind of hard to have.

    McKenna Woliczko with 17 reb for the USA Team, is the all-time record holder in the FIBA U17 World Cup, and with 13 reb, she is the all-time record holder in the Jordan Classic Game.

    Jan has always been all in on Layla. Jan said that Layla is one of the best freshman big she's ever coaching. If Iowa were to sign another big, she would be a deeper bench player like AJ Edger.

    *****Ella Stromdahl commits*****

    Based on the highlights, Ella seems to be a 6-0 guard, but in a 4-out formation, that doesn't really matter much.
