Love beating some of those teams for a commit, but seems or maybe feels like Iowa isn't going after the top end recruits like prev years?

 

[pablow]

Well, after this year we are going to be short a Jada, so there's that.

Jada is the lowest ranked recruit of Iowa’s 17 known offers in the ‘27 class, though not much difference between her and Brinley Altenburg.

Iowa spent a great deal of time and effort going after players like Greenway and Lewis, probably at the cost of time and energy going after players like Koupal (SD) and Kussow(WI). If Seubert waited to collect all the offers and committed next fall, I imagine the reception would be pretty effusive. Find great players that want to be Hawkeyes, and value that. Mid-season commitment tells you this girl wants to play for Jensen in CHA.

* Bonus thought: nearly all of her clips are from her sophomore season.

IMO above average athleticism,High release and good elevation on her jump shot. Seems comfortable scoring at all 3 levels. A lot to like about her game.

Nothing but great news here. Love the potential and upside

It wasn’t a waste of time. If Iowa is going to elevate to an elite program and compete for titles, they need players like Lewis and Greenway. A roster full of Seuberts would be fine. Just not elite. Iowa is trying to take that next step but it’s gonna be extremely difficult..

You can't have a roster of all five stars. Championship teams are made up of some role players that are three or four star players. I watched Jada's tape, she looks darn good.

 

[Destin Hawk]

I think we are going to really like her. Remember shes only a junior, still has 1 1/2 years before shes even on campus

In the women’s game, the top 4-6 teams (only ones who can win a title) have depth of talent and size and athleticism at most positions. It’s just the way it is. It’s why this years Iowa team was demolished by UConn.

Agree you have to some balance and players who grow and develop. But JJ knows to beat the UCONn and South Carolina and Texas types (without a Caitlin type talent) you gotta add a lot more talent.

This looks like a random
Mother/Daughter shot from any game in Kinnick.

Welcome aboard Jada.

I’m still fighting a hangover.

 

[nu2u]

Looks like a “blue collar” Syd Affolter type player. Always room for another one.

 

[NORTHSTAR]

Blue collar? #1 in Wisconsin must be pretty good.

 

[citizenHawk1]

Love Syd, but as a HS junior Seubert looks like a way more fluid athlete. Better shot, three levels.

 

[r_desihawk]

no politics please ;-) good player, hope she plays a part in getting iowa over the ncaa finals hump

 

[o_AMAYS]

Jada is the lowest ranked recruit of Iowa’s 17 known offers in the ‘27 class, though not much difference between her and Brinley Altenburg.

Post-commitment, 24/7 moves Seubert into their rankings at # 40.

Wow! She made every shot!

JK.

She looks like a very good get for the Hawks!

 

[NORTHSTAR]

Jam shouldn't waste her time going after 4 and 5 stars when the twos and threes would be much easier.......... oh wait.

 

[Clarkedallas]

Wow! She made every shot!

JK.

I watched the 2nd game of the season clip against a good Hopkins team. Nice quick high release. Her range is really impressive. She is quick but not elite. She is just a junior handles well but could improve. Adding strength for the next level would really help. She will contribute early.

 

[Palmerhawk]

Nice pickup for hawks...and confirmation that it is pronounced soy- bert....works in soybean- land!

 

[DukeSlater]

No. 66 in the country (now No. 40) and No. 1 in Wisconsin seems OK to me. And a lefty is usually a big challenge to defend because players are so used to guarding right-handers. Yah, I think Jada will fit in just fine.

Ask Curt Cignetti how many five-stars you need to win a national title.

 

[citizenHawk1]

I wouldn't ever argue that Jensen doesn't need or shouldn't recruit 5-stars. Rather, it was about diagnosing a genuine interest in Iowa sooner in the process. Sure, every player takes some work and convincing, but maybe it doesn't always have to be that way (Woliczko, Wright, Olsen). Plus, some of that star-chasing can be mitigated by portal moves.

If you are recruiting a player for five years and they still can't give you a yes, maybe talk to different players.

*Seubert already moving up? Nice.

 

[TheGreatDivider101]

After the upcoming summer AAU circuit, I predict that her ranking will move up a few notches. She probably isn't a future 5 star but a worthy top 50ish ranking based on her versatility.

 

[onionman1]

Agreed. People pay too much value on rankings. Just watch her film. She has game.

Number 1 in Wisconsin and 66 overall doesn't tell you she is a pretty high end commitment?
