Did anyone besides Texas have a real chance at Teagan Kavan out of West Des Moines? Was Iowa even ever in the running? She was phenomenal vs Stanford to take Texas to the championship series. Been phenomenal all year.

Not saying I'm am tuned in to all the recruiting stuff, because I am not. But, I am amazed that I didn't even know about her? I'm more of a high school guy, but damn, would be nice to have her! 🤣. Would be a nice addition to the staff.

Others are probably more in tune with the travel only seen. Not to question her decisions, she is in a wonderful situation, and I am happy for her.

Different conversation to start... Could she have gotten to the same place with doing Fall Iowa Premier, and then summer HS? I honestly don't know. My kid was not at that level. I knew that. But I wish she could have played HS, and brought up the level of all Iowa HS play. There are many like her, so I assume maybe the answer is that she couldn't have. But I find that hard to believe.

Thoughts from you guys?
 
Erin Doud-Johnson no longer listed as an assistant coach.

Hope they release the Fall schedule soon. First games are likely only a couple weeks away.
Coach Johnson leaving would be news to me? But we have a family fun day this afternoon with players, coaches and parents. First time they are doing something like this. But I will find out soon about Coach Johnson :)

We actually have the spring schedule as well. Usually, don't have that until MUCH later. Not sure if I can post that at this time though.

Thank you for the great info, MossHawk. Too bad about Coach Johnson. A couple seasons ago Coach G released the spring schedule very early (I think it was the first D1 schedule released). Hopefully she'll do the same this year. I'm excited for this recruiting class. Looks to be a good one.

Go Hawks!
