    Carnegie 3x3 games today (link)

    Games finished on July 3. The USA WBB 3x3 team went 16-1 and won the event, qualifying for the 3x3 U23 World Cup in September. Don't know if the same players play in the U23 World Cup. I watched several games, and the 2 best players were Tori McKinney from Minnesota and Carnegie. McKinney...

    2027 Recruiting

    Hard to tell who Iowa is still actively pursuing in the ‘27 class beyond Nation Williams and Mya Wilson, both of whom officially visited. Wilson also expected (according to Gopher beat writer) to commit somewhere in July. With 5-in-5 eligibility, ‘27 class less critical given remaining...

    2027 Recruiting

    I only watched a little of the U16 team last summer, but don’t recall Williams playing like a wing. Stats show her as the team’s leading rebounder who took a total of 3 3-pointers in 6 games. 247 scouting report describes Williams as “one of the country’s biggest interior threats.” I...

    2027 Recruiting

    Regarding timing, speculation by Gopher beat writer (Rob Kane) is that Wilson will commit somewhere in July. As far as Medeck’s timing, would think perhaps she might feel some pressure to commit to secure her spot at Iowa. If, somehow, Williams were to commit first, doubt Iowa would accept a...

    2027 Recruiting

    Would Iowa accept commits from both June official visitors (Wilson and Medeck)? If they both commit, would Iowa then be done with ‘27 recruiting, or do they hold a spot for Williams?

    NCAA ‘Five in five’ age-based eligibility rule

    At first blush, think Addie just qualifies for 5 years, by 2 days, because her birthday is September 2, 2005. The rule reads as follows (if I have my source right): A student-athlete’s five-year eligibility period begins with the earlier of these two events: Initial full-time college...

    2027 Recruiting

    Gopher poster who has been knowledgeable in the past about Gopher WBB recruiting agrees with you, stating: "In my personal opinion, here is where I would rate the last four teams: Favorite: Tie between Iowa/Gophers (could truly go either way) 2nd in line: TCU (a lot of money) least likely...

    Mya Wilson may not be an elite recruit, but could be an Iowa-Minnesota recruiting battle. Jan and Coach P were both watching her recently.

    2027 Recruiting

    Good point. If 5-for-5 passes, Whiting would have 2 more years of eligibility, and Heiden/Chit Chat/Carnegie/Stremlow/Faison would have 3 more years, correct?

    Iowa WBB Tix

    Does Iowa WBB have tickets/seats that require an annual contribution? Noticed Maryland has some seats that require a $1,220 annual contribution. Curious because while Iowa leads the BIG in the dollar value of ticket sales, reported at face value, the NCAA requires amounts paid in excess of...
