Getting a 1st team All-Sec player with 2 years left would bust the narrative we won't get any P4 players.
*****2026-27 Transfer Portal News*****
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
Carnegie definitely starts as 2g over TS who I think would be much more consistent and effective off the bench. Carnegie would just be a huge upgrade talent wise. Huge get if they can close the deal.
Still don’t have a wing player but Jones could play the 3. Another huge talent upgrade.
Might see a 3g offense again unless MW can move immediately into the SF/Wing role.
She is rated as one of the top ten portal prospects. Would be a huge get. We need Lasondra and Chit Chat to do their magic.Iowa will be hosting Georgia transfer Dani Carnegie this weekend (5'9 guard).
Has 2 years left
She averaged 17.8 pts, 5.3 rebs and 3.2 assists last season
Shot 43% from the field and 35% from three.
Played with Chit Chat Wright at Georgia Tech as a freshman.
Was coached by Iowa assistant Lasondra Barrett.

This all makes perfect sense given what we know today.
The only place that narrative exists is on boards like this with a certain subset of posters.
Stremlow could move to the 3 as well. Contrary to your belief she was much more consistent and effective as a starter this year.

I'm a bit surprised that Iowa can only afford 2 higher priced transfers. Was it way off that Deal got $1m and Rodriguez got quite handsome an amount too? and I would think Stuelke, McCabe, Feuerbach all got very good NIL deals. Some said even Levin had a good NIL deal. Does the NIL money fluctuate a lot from year to year?
I'm sure that Ava, CCW, Strem, and Journey all got nice bumps, you have McKenna coming in with a hefty price tag, and 2 higher priced transfers is going to fill the open guard spot and a backup guard spot with Addie and Emrod money. That's the top 9 rotation right there. After that you're not looking for high priced talent but role players to fill out the roster.
On a more talented roster she would be much more effective off the bench. She was forced into the starting lineup and wasn’t even JJs preference to start her when TM
Went down. And TS wore down at the end, playing her worst ball after starting 10 games or so. Obviously a better bench player on a more talented roster.
Right. Jan was wrong. Stremlow earned the starting nod and statistically speaking she was much more effective than McCabe ever was. You're just going to have to accept that.
Whiting seems a solid player. She had nine points, five rebounds, three assists with no turnovers against UCLA in the tournament.
Nice to see your name back around. Always felt like there was something to learn about the team and about some of the internal thought process of the coaches and players. Hopefully we continue to see your name.
Curious to see any insight you have in this new era of NIL. Lots of rumors and numbers that are being floated around and sometimes it can be difficult to decipher between what true and what isn't. It would be nice to see some actual insight into how this new era will be approached by the coaching staff. I do have one question in particular if you don't mind sharing. Does the NIL money stay similar from year to year like a salary cap? Or are will these numbers be different from year to year? For example, if Deal got $500K last year, do we now have 500K to use this year with her moving on? Or is it a fresh reset each year?

I don't exactly know what you mean about Divine and Journey needing to split up. Not following the thinking on that one from anything I have heard.
I was told the same thing about Deal...she wasn't happy all season.
Thank you for your post.
That’s not my point but nice straw man argument. She was effective backing up TM and why she was in that position. And Deal got first dibs over TS. Why? Talent. JJ I believes understands TS limitations. Solid player and warrior. But gotta upgrade at the 2g.
Portal targets suggest TS will likely come off the bench next year. JJ does seem to understand this.,
Awesome news! Carnegie would be a huge talent bump. Hope she has a good visit, and hope they can get it done. Whiting and Bruggemann would both be good fits, bring some game.
Still hoping they can find a way with Speiser. Never know how it might go.

Every time I open one of the recruiting threads you have several that act like we have no chance of getting anything worthwhile out of the portal...I don't understand why... guessing it's like that meme ...woke up today ..it was terrible
And? So let's say that Addie was 750k- 1mm and Erod was $300k. That's $1.1mm to $1.3mm saved. McKenna takes $500k. That leaves $600-$800 for 2 incoming transfers and that doesn't even include the bumps that the existing players are getting.
Wrong poster dude. Try again.Every time I open one of the recruiting threads you have several that act like we have no chance of getting anything worthwhile out of the portal...I don't understand why... guessing it's like that meme ...woke up today ..it was terrible
Right. the point is about having enough money to afford more elite talent. Not just complimentary players. So yes it’s definitely saving money without Deal and ER but those two made good money based on talent potential. Gotta go big if you can.
Deal went in first because Jan was using her as McCabe's backup in rotation and was getting a ton of pressure to insert her as a starter. Deal doesn't have more talent than Stremlow just because she had more stars coming out of high school. That's always been your premise and it's always been wrong. Stremlow was twice the player that Deal was this year and the numbers support that assertion.
The days of paying for potential are over. Until things change this is a pro league.
You said the narrative we wouldn't get any P4 players was a subset of posters on boards like this. I was basically agreeing with you so not sure what you mean?
What about the money that Steulke, McCabe and Feuerbach left? And Levin, Mallegni, etc.? They all go to bumping up the deals with Heiden, Stremlow, Houston, CCW, Hays? Seems excessive.
What I meant then was that I didn't understand what you meant.
The price of poker has definitely gone up, but yeah, those current players you mentioned I'm sure are getting a lot more money than the other 3 you mentioned.

Deal was not close to $750K+. More like $350K.
Really? That's not what's been discussed around here. What is your source?
Strem could certainly play the three as well. Its basically the same position
This. There's not much difference between the two and three anyway, and Strem has a nose for the ball....
As others have said, Iowa isn't for everyone. That said, I bet other coaches and teams are also talking about their successes and players. If she has a problem with recognizing past players and the culture, and only wants to focus on her, then Iowa (and many schools) is probably not the right fit.
Hawkbuck seems to have some solid info. He is saying $500K for Addie. I think $750K is high. Bottom line her and Emely freed up around $800K or more.
What is the credible source that Deal got a million or close to it?
