    2027 Recruiting

    Exactly. Having a freshman as a 3rd post allows you to develop them without feeling forced to play them before they're ready. Plus you have some insurance just in case injury happens to one of your 2 regulars.

    His article listed 9. 1. Chit Chat 2. Dani 3. Amari 4. Journey OR McKenna 5. Ava Off the Bench: Taylor Layla Jocelyn It's implied that whoever doesn't start at the 4 will also be coming off the bench.

    Ava moving up

    ESPN reranked their class of 2024 (Top 15). Ava was one of the biggest movers, from an initial ranking of 42, all the way up to #10. It would be interesting to see where Dani would end up if they kept going. She started at #29 Reranking top class of 2024 women's basketball recruits - ESPN

    2027 Recruiting

    She's the only true post left on the '27 offer list, so she's #1 in the pecking order for her position

    ***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

    Dropped the Hawkeye color scheme today. I like. Wouldn't be surprised if this is the top selling color

    2027 Recruiting

    Columbus and Iowa City are very different. You've got a 2 million metro population vs a college town with a 180K metro population. Some people prefer one, some prefer the other. Coming from the MSP metro, Columbus may have felt closer to what Mya was used to. Oh well, on to the next recruit...

    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.
