There is significant interest in the upcoming transfer period and in specific players. Hoping a separate discussion can be used to focus on the subject while others address the separate effort of recruiting high school players. (2025,2026 and 2027). My own view is that Iowa will be active this year... JJ has said she is compelled to use the portal to address needs while still having the core purpose of developing top high school player who can contribute over a 4 year period. The portal is at its heart a balancing of interests; !) get players who fill needs while 2) maintaining existing roster players and also 3) not interfering with the recruitment of top notch high school recruits. All of this while dealing with revenue sharing and available NIL funds. ( These considerations are why the football team has a "staff" to deal with such issues.) My own view is that JJ will look primarily to transfer(s) with 1 or two years of eligibility this year and in the future. Fill immediate specific needs when required seems like a smart thing to do. (Personally, all other things being equal, I cheer for the team which does not try to "buy" their starting lineup each spring! Thoughts? Names? {Opps, I now see that a tread was started on Monday on this subject. I don't mean to steal anyone's thunder... please check for this entry!) Great minds think alike!)
