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

    An interesting prospect. I agree with several posters who hope that JJ and staff start scouring the international market. I housed (foreign exchange student) a 6'2" soccer young woman who played high school soccer here in Arizona and she was far superior to many of the American girls. She ended...

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

    Out of sheer boredom, I perused Tania Goodman's list of potential portal enrollees and found the following women who would not command a huge signing stipend, yet would be functional players. None are top ten/twenty transfers but Iowa needs players and JJ doesn't want to spend needlessly. Tell...

    According to Talia Goodman, five star Trinity Jones(previously committed to Clemson) and five star Oliviyah Edwards (previously committed to Tennessee) have both requested to be released from their respective school selections. Trinity Jones is from Naperville, Illinois. A wild and crazy world...

    Talia Goodman breaks the news about Virginia WBB coach

    She says Virginia is "expected to part ways with their head coach, Amaka Agugua-Haliton" after their strong season. JJ and her staff need to run like hell and try to persuade Kymora Johnson to wear the black and gold. Kymora partnering with Chit Chat would be dynamic. If she decides or is...

    Aaron Woliczko Interview Today

    What a wonderful interview. A man of class having taught his daughter old school principles and morals. We have so much to look forward to at Iowa.

    2027 recruit Finley Parker commits to Indiana. 6'2" G/F from Georgia. We had been in contact with her.

    Lanie Grant from North Carolina just announced she is portaling. I would take a serious look at her.

    No fear, curiosity as all of Iowa fans want Iowa and JJ to succeed.

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

    Interesting that Talia Goodman on X stated that UCLA, Virginia Tech, Ole Miss and Oklahoma are four schools who are already carefully filtering through the transfer portal. I would have liked to have seen Iowa's name on that list.

    Kyle-- Is it your thinking that the staff is looking for two guards and one or two bigs? Or essentially best available on all fronts?

    McDonald’s Game

    Koupal looks like a nice piece for our puzzle...too bad she had no interest in Iowa.

    Addie Deal enters transfer portal

    This was to be expected, but sad none the least. I have a good friend, a former WBB player who is at every game in the front row. She told me last week this would happen. According to her, Addie and her family were told that Iowa would run an up tempo style offense and nothing could be further...

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

    On X, Talia Goodman has compiled a list of "Best Available WBB Transfers.'' There are several former 4 and 5* recruits. With due diligence and film research, I would hope that JJ and the ***'t coaches can reel in two of the guards listed.(Obviously, more women are entering the portal daily)...

    McKenna's game tonight

    She played perhaps 15-17 minutes and scored 19 points. Lots of assists and rebounds. Archbishop Mitty guards handle the ball too much and attempt to drive through the lane each time down the court. If they got the ball to McKenna she could have scored thirty tonight. Also, the AM coach platoons...
