A Kate Harpring post on Instagram

Overtime Select posted it instead of her.. she just allowed it on the page. So definitely not a commitment.(most likely not)

Could be a list or something to do with that organization.

Although overtime select toying with Iowa fans in the comments.. a no drama commitment would be a dream 😂
 
It says, BIG NEWS coming soon... speculation is between us and UCLA.

Commit? I agree that it's doubtful at this early time...

"The early word is that Harpring wants to make a couple more visits and take her recruitment into the summer."
UCLA was one of those visits. Still don't see any UCLA post to her twitterX for the UCLA visit, but it doesn't show me recent posts so it could be there. I see both IA and UCLA visits posted on her IG.


I'm also surprised Brandon Clay doesn't have a post about it or a crystal ball on her yet. He's a marketing agency for Kate. This doesn't strike me as commit material yet. Again, think it's more likely points to a Top X list. Things can change between now and when the news comes out. However, if Brandon doesn't post a prediction soon, then it's pointing to a Top X list or something other than a commit annoucement.


Here is a list of potential contenders in a Top X list.
My notes also say ND, Duke, USC and UCLA should added to this website list.
UConn is out according to AAU coach's intel over on the-boneyard.


I only see 7 comments here.



Again, I only see 10 of 25 comments here.



Couldn't find a twitterX post. It may be there. Google search didn't give me much on it.

Timing seems bad. I hope not.🤞
I agree with timing comment and Iowa will probably finish second again if she announces IMO, but I have zero sources. Just what happens often to Iowa in sports. Hopefully it will be her top teams as mentioned, and Iowa is still in the running.

She has legs like trees. She'll come to Iowa or she won't. Worrying about recruiting, IMHO, is a waste of time, more so now than ever. Let's get the kids who want to be Hawkeyes and go from there.

I believe that's what Jan is trying to do.
 
Just to clarify: of course I don't know this 1st-hand. Basis of my assumption is status of parents:
Wow....How awesome would it be if Kate comes to Iowa asking for no money saying, "Use the money you would have used on me to get McKenna, Trinity, and Addison"......one can only wish!

I don't think you can tie a player's financial needs to their parents. Different people all have different relationships with their parents, and how that works. And that said, the top players are worth whatever Iowa can reasonably pay them. What their parents make isn't a factor in that amount.

Only the players know the criteria for their decision. Might be a lot of things, or it might be a gut vibe they have for the program.

Harpring isn’t coming to Iowa. Bookmark it. Neither are any of the other five-star recruits. You heard it here first.

Iowa is going to get some good players. Maybe this recruit or another, but someone will come. Just getting these highly ranked recruits to Iowa City is a big deal. Nobody knows for sure what the deciding factors are player to player, but Iowa has a very solid, very popular program, with some good players already on the roster.

But sure, the #1 PG recruit is a pretty lofty ask. Only one program lands a player like that, and if it's not Iowa, not really an indictment on the program.

We will see how it all plays out, but it might take longer than most want to wait.
 
If she comes, damn good chance…with the others already here and coming and the potential that others follow suit…damn good chance
Just think how pissed off women's basketball fans will be if Iowa can finally win a national championship in this day and age with very few or no elite/highly recruited black female players because they all were deluded into thinking that Iowa is either racist or not inclusive enough for elite level black players to have success...........................because that is a true, factual thing we have to deal with/overcome.

I look forward to the saltiness of these people.
