    Expectations?

    Taylor isn't rehabbing with the intent of playing again, so she probably wouldn't be ready to go for most of next season anyway. Hannah is a tricky one. She's extremely good at what she's good at: athleticism, rebounding, solid defense. But she also has notable deficiencies that impact how the...

    Expectations?

    I see Jan's first 2 seasons as relatively successful based on the deficiencies in the roster. Her first season had Lucy leading the back court and Hannah playing as an undersized 5. Last year had a group of role players in the back court and Ava as the leader in the front. Neither team had a...

    2027 Recruiting

    Amari played AAU under Nation's mom. Based on her comments about why she chose Iowa, it seems like Nation's mom's recommendation of Jan as a coach was a big factor. Plus, if Amari stays for a 5th year, she'd be on the team for Nation's freshman year if she comes here.

    Iowa adds home and home with UCONN

    I'm all-in on the 27-28 team, as long as we don't have major portal losses. That group of seniors will have two potential All-Americans (Ava and Dani) and two solid role players, plus a solid junior class, and McKenna will have a year of Big Ten play under her belt. Plus we get them in Carver.

    Tournament this coming season

    Conference or NCAA? Big Ten will be in Vegas (not a fan, personally. It's still a primarily Midwest conference.) NCAA Regionals will be in Philadelphia and Vegas. The Final Four will be in Columbus, OH. The 2028 Final Four... senior years for Ava, Dani, Stremlow, and Chat, so this may be...

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

    I'd be happy with 12. Last season's 11 and 12 on the depth chart at the start of the season, Callie and Teagan, did have to play some non-garbage time minutes in a few games due to injuries + fouls.

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

    The top end talent on this team is going to be really really good. Dani and Ava are both 1st Team All-B1G and potentially All-American talents. McKenna could be a freshman of the year caliber player if she lives up to her hype and potential. Then they fill out the regular rotation with proven...

    Iowa lands Georgia guard Jocelyn Faison

    Feels like the Callie replacement in terms of her productivity at Georgia last year, but taller. She continues the theme of upgrading on the departing guards.

    The issue was more than just 3pt shooting. We had multiple guards who had little else to offer in terms of scoring if they weren't hitting the 3. The two guards we've brought in so far offer much better versatility. They're not elite 3 point shooters, but they can score even when the 3s aren't...

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

    You're being purposely vague, I get it, but if she and her family are making requests for accommodations that are not equal those the other players already on the roster are getting, I hope Jan gives them a firm no. She's a good player, but she's not of the caliber of Ava, McKenna, or Dani to be...

    Amari Whiting commits to Iowa

    I think that's essentially true for all teams that play modern basketball. When the players are introduced pregame, the player at the 3 position is always introduced as a guard.

    Addie Deal to Wisconsin

    Needs a circle for "A team with potential for postseason success."
