    2027 Recruiting

    Sorry for any confusion. I'm saying Ava, Dani, Chat, Woliczko are getting at least $2 million COMBINED, not individually. This is per year btw.

    2027 Recruiting

    Except you're making up your mind based on vibes, while I'm basing my conclusions on comments by Skim Milkey and Brad Heinrichs. Before you say Heinrichs could inflate things...in the same interview he admitted that he had failed to bring in enough money to stay competitive in men's basketball...

    2027 Recruiting

    IDK what to tell you. If you don't think that an active WNBA player with thousands of followers, including many young women, tweeting "Iowa has got to do something about its racist fans" isn't a recruiting problem...you can't be helped.

    It doesn't matter what I'm reading. We are discussing what young black athletes and their families are reading/hearing/seeing.

    2027 Recruiting

    First of all, I'm not sure you grasp how expensive Dani Carnegie is. She is not just a 5 star player -- and not all 5 star players cost the same. As a first-team All-SEC player she is one of the most expensive players in the country -- ESPN ranks her as the 3rd biggest get in the portal. She...

    2027 Recruiting

    The issue was not that Iowa couldn't afford more five star players for 2026. It was that only one five star player in 2026 wanted to play for Iowa. There are not 15 programs that have more money for WBB than Iowa. There are 5, maybe 6, at most. Not including Ok State in this bc I'm not...

    2027 Recruiting

    Were you living under a rock in 2023 when the Iowa women's basketball team played LSU in the national championship game? The ensuing storylines were literally the biggest story in the country. It was a moment of national cultural reckoning. Every morning talk show, every late night talk show...

    2027 Recruiting

    Except this has been the case for years -- it isn't a new problem. We're specifically talking about players like Aneesah Morrow and Divine Bourrage who never gave Iowa the time of day. The topic of Jan's ability to recruit black athletes is a completely different topic from the game versus VA or...

    2027 Recruiting

    Iowa has plenty of money for WBB. Brad Heinrichs has said this. Skim Milkey has said this. The number of programs with more $$ for WBB than Iowa can be counted on one hand. OK State might have more money this year bc of a huge donation but might not next year. Iowa WBB has an AD that cares about...

    2027 Recruiting

    I don't have X anymore because of how toxic and conservative it is (and this was literally in 2023) but I'm sure if you go on there and search for CC22 + Angel Reese you'll find plenty of stuff like this -- likely even worse. That was just one example I remember. I also remember people posting...

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

    She's not that good. And she is NOT getting that much money -- from anyone. Again, because she's not that good. If she was that good, someone would be paying her that much money and she would have committed by now. Faison is a much better prospect as a potential 3 or 4 in Iowa's 4-out system. We...

    2027 Recruiting

    The issue is that no program but Iowa was deeply unpopular with many black (and white, for that matter) players, families, and coaches in response to a controversy about racism that was literally the biggest storyline in the country. Those programs weren't associated with "fans" who would go on...

    Young BB phenom Chloe Johnson

    Rankings at this age really don't mean much. For example, Jenica Lewis was also #1 at one point but is now #26 according to ESPN. That might not even qualify her as a McDonald's AA. We shall see.

    Iowa Women's Basketball Recruiting Thread

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Speiser choose K-State. Still hope we get her. Addie Deal still seems very warm to Iowa. Jernigan has us in her Top 10. Dee Alexander has us in her Top 15. We are apparently also in the mix for Taliyah Henderson. Not sure the latest on Brynn McGaughy...but we...

    Young BB phenom Chloe Johnson

    Very interesting group. A bunch of middling or borderline irrelevant schools....and then Maryland. Maryland is trending down, but Frese knows talent. You'd think there'd be at least an offer from Michigan, Ohio State, or Iowa if she was that special already. Bluder is likely holding off because...
