    Good point. I found it on a Badger message board, and reposted it. Guess we’ll see how accurate it is.

    Don't know how Iowa's and TCU's financial resources compare, but TCU head coach Mark Campbell is a great recruiter. His TCU bio brags that during his "seven-year assistant coaching tenure at Oregon, . . . he became widely regarded as the nation’s best recruiter. While in Eugene, Campbell was...

    I’m a fan of Thompson being a Hawk. Hope it works out.

    Would be nice to breakthrough and get one of the Hopkins (MN) players (though not sure McGill is the right fit). A nearby juggernaut program.

    Iowa tried and failed last spring to land a couple of foreign PG options that were in the portal: Elina Aarnisalo (Finland) and Gal Raviv (Israel). Think Iowa (state/school) is still a tough sell to foreign players with attractive options.

    Jennie B or Katie Abrahamson...

    Of the 15 public SEC schools, Georgia is 14th in WBB spending. Not sure how hard Georgia is trying in WBB. Alabama is last and their coach also just left. https://www.al.com/alabamabasketball/2026/03/alabama-ranked-dead-last-in-sec-for-womens-basketball-spending-in-2025.html

    Also a plus perimeter defender from what I saw during the Ole Miss-Minnesota NCAAT game. Can move her feet. Ole Miss ran their last-second play to try to beat the Gophers to her, but she missed the shot.

    The new IU recruiter has really helped IU’s high school recruiting in both their ‘26 and “27 classes. Iowa needs Barrett to be a plus recruiter.

    How athletic is she? Only watched her 2-3 times. Assuming she doesn’t want to compete against Harping.

    Lute Olson operated the same way. The existing roster had veto power over recruits. Joe Barry Carroll, later Purdue All American and #1 player picked in the NBA draft, was vetoed by the Iowa players who thought he would be a bad fit. Nothing surprising about Jan deferring to the team, if in...
