This seems pretty disengenuous and a bit problematic for her to post this when she doesn't have offers.

There's a convention to list only schools that have offered in these final lists. And she's clearly using the clout of some schools to try to get offers from other schools, and it seems to just kind of off to me. I'd think this would make programs very wary. It's a bit cringe.
All of these kids are being marketed today and there are few rules when it comes to marketing.

Thought I would update with possible prospects for 2027 and portal needs. If nobody hits the portal, we have four open slots. I would expect Jan to bring in two from the portal to replace Kylie and Taylor's skillsets.

We would probably have two if not three spots the following year with #41 Jada Seubert CG committed. My hope is #32/#35 Destiny Manyawu a 6'3" PF/C, very athletic and # 46 Mya Wilson a 6'1" CG/SF.

#10 Nation Williams or #1 Kaleena Smith are long shots. Have not heard much about Madi Mingery or Harper Dunn so very unlikely.

CG Brinley Altenburg and #42 F/C Addison Medeck could also be in play.

Hope the women have a strong post season to keep the talent level coming to Iowa City.
In light of the five portal departures and graduating seniors I think Jan will take at least four in the 2027 class. #41 Suebert is a good start at the guard position in this class. We will need a SF since Stremlow will be a senior and Houston a junior their freshman year. I'm hoping #46 Mya Wilson commits to the Hawks. Another guard will be needed with so many juniors the 2026-27 season, sharp shooting Altenburg would be a good addition. That leaves another PF/C prospect, either #32 Destiny Manyawu or #42 Addison Medeck.

Good list of offers but I don't think we sit well with some of them. I'll start with Nation Williams, took an official to Iowa but with UCLA's success and her being a legacy I'd be shocked if she became a Hawk. Kaleena Smith would come in as a freshman, she wouldn't want to play behind Chit Chat. Haven't heard much from Mignery since her unofficial.

I listed who I thought we had a true shot at in post #285. Destiny Manyawu, Addison Medeck, Mya Wilson are all ranked and have taken unofficial visits. Brinley Altenburg the top player in South Dakota has visited several times. Pressley Watkins the #2 player from Minnesota has visited, not sure she's been offered. Katie Muller from Dowling has also not been offered and unofficially visited several times.

Coach Barrett may have another player she has identified. In the end, the 2027 class is critical since we'll lose Heiden, Wright, Carnegie, and Stremlow after the 27-28 season.

Do have another section I did not put in my prior post.

Visit but No Offer:
Katie Muller (6'2" F) (IA)
Layla Steward (5'8" PG) (MI)
Pressley Watkins (5'11" G/W) (MN) 4 Star (#74 PGH)

Just did another search on Katie Muller and found no offer for her yet. Do you have a link to it?
I don't have any of the main social media accounts to view all their posts so it may be there and just not showing it.

On twitX she has post that state, "I’m very excited to have received an offer from XYZ!"
I still don't see one for Iowa. Again, it may be there, just can't see them all.

Also, Kyle did not write that she had an offer into her most recent visit. Maybe she got one after this vist?

May I ask what JRAS is? I'm familiar with all the others.

Tbh her not picking Iowa is not that surprising, because her father is very active politically and is pretty conservative.

I don't engage in political topics on here, as they aren't basketball.

But parents definitely influence the decisions, and I would think that gives ISU a bit of an advantage over Iowa in her recruitment.

So I'm just not surprised.
