Iowa WBB 2025 Recruiting Thread

Awesome, thanks! Hope we can land Speiser too she can shoot the crap out of the ball from anywhere. Bluder likes to run 3 guards, 1 forward, and post so can never have too many!
Someone mentioned Hays is Leah Magner's niece which can't hurt.
I love all 3 of these girls, but Bjorn has something we hardly see at Iowa: athletic length. In pictures with other players she looks all of 6'2" and has long arms. Videos show she could become a shot-creating menace.
Will be interesting to see who else they bring in for official visits in the 25 class. That should give an indication of how they think they sit with who has previously visited.
Who really knows how it will all shake out in the 25&26 class but I give Lisa and staff credit for swinging for the fences. Traditionally Iowa has been relegated to taking gals a tier below the types the “Blue bloods” get, I really hope they can capitalize on all the positive Mojo that the program has going, The old saying is strike while the iron is hot, Not sure it will ever be hotter for the Women’s program.🤞🤞🤞
With this newest PG recruit (Deal?) and that girl from Oregon - isn’t she 6’4” ?
That could be a powerful combo. Having good height on the inside can make a team nearly unstoppable. Add above average PG-play into the mix…yeah.
Bluder and Jensen have periodically fished in the recruiting deep end, with very limited success over the years. Addi Deal shows that things can change, but need more than 1 high-end non-Iowan to flip the script.
Deal is not a PG. She is a W. I think she will take over at SF for Affolter. Our next PG is Aaliyah Guyton (#58 in class of 2024, but just tore her ACL).
Bluder has her eyes on PG Emilee Skinner of UT (#9 in 2025 — see above), two Top 25 PGs in 2026 (see that thread) and is currently looking in the portal as well for a vet PG (see the Portal Targets thread).

My granddaughter plays club ball and so far...they're scheduled for Dallas, Louisville, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, and Mpls.
It ain't cheap.
Was thinking about our current or previous Hawks and how 24/25/26 committed or prospects compare.
Clark is a generational player so I doubt any young lady will match her numbers but Deal has a lot of her skill sets.
Martin (the glue) - I see a lot of her game in Speiser. Plays tough and maybe a better shooter in High School. Hope we can get her to Iowa City.
Warnock was a good defender and reliable shooter - Mallegni reminds me a lot of her. Teagan has a great three point shot.
Gustafson/Czinano - Heiden has a lot of Megan's moves around the basket and Hays plays strong inside. Both would learn under the tutelage of coach Jensen. Hope Hays commits.
Stuelke is the most athletic power forward the Hawks have had that I can remember. McGaughy is a very athletic PF and could replace Hannah when she leaves but Bjorn in the 2026 class is the young lady who I would love to see, become a Hawk. 6'2" and long.
Marshall - our best defender and a very good shooter from the arc. Not sure who I've seen video on that compares. I'll sure miss doe eyes.
Affolter - I see a lot of Levin and Houston's style of play that is comparable to Sydney.
Logic - Guyton and Greenway have similar skill sets. Get to the rim and great facilitators with the ball. That said, Samantha was all-BIG several times. Would love to add Skinner, she really reminds me of Logic. She has only visited once, was the OSU weekend enough? Lewis in the 26 class is another possibility.
With who we have committed and future prospects the Hawks could keep flying high.

Does anyone have a better sense than I around when we might expect decisions from some of these recruits? 16 of the top 60 hoopgurlz have committed, not sure what the parameters are. Only 3 programs have verbals from 2 players: Stanford, Iowa, and somehow Purdue? Is there something happening at Purdue?
In August I did research from the past 10 years about when recruits commit to Iowa. I've linked that below. Long story short: 64.8% of Iowa's past commitments have come between 6-18 months before Signing Day. 23.5% have come in the final 6 months.

Top recruits are going to have more options and take more visits. McGaughy has Iowa and then 4 more through May, one of the Hays articles mentioned her taking up 6-7, Skinner has been on multiple unofficials. Hard to say how many official visits she'll take. To my knowledge, Speiser has been on campus but not for an official. I think those are the top 4 they're looking at. Best case, I'd say by June. It certainly could go on longer however.
Do they have “study nooks” in the dugouts? God knows they have “study nooks” everywhere else on that campus!
So many “nooks” that my daughter said “no” to them….and told me they take education way too seriously at grinnell!
God forbid we should take education "seriously". Imagine all the dangerous things people might learn about the world. If only we could rid campuses of quiet, dedicated places to study.

Brynn McGaughy has been in NYC yesterday and today for Stewie’s camp. Do we know, is the visit tomorrow? Crazy if so.
Take it FWIW, Poster on another forum said she is arriving sometime today, Attending game tomorrow and leaving on Tuesday

Get this cyclone crap off of the Hawkeye board. A recruiting thread no less.
Absolutely ecstatic and giddy ISU did not win last night.
Back to the 2025’s…
Looks like Brynn made it to Iowa City.
Looks like Brynn made it to Iowa City.
Jada seems like such a fun kid and is clearly a great ambassador. Everyone loves her tbh, from Clark to KJE.
For someone that seldom plays, Jada seems like she's absolutey loving her time in IC.
Every time they show the reserves on the bench, she's nearly always smiling.
"Ecstatic and giddy ISU did not win last night". I hope there is a "life" in your future. When the failures of others makes you "giddy" one needs to evaluate themselves. I wish you luck with that...........
We need Stuelke to develop a reliable outside game to accent what hopefully will be a center-oriented offense with Heiden/Addison/Adiger. With the Wisconsin players coming in and hopefully Speiser and other players with length and range down the pike it appears we'll have gobs of athleticism.
Welcome to Iowa City, Brynn. Hope you enjoy your time in Iowa City. Great college city, great coaches and awesome fans. Root on our Hawks to the sweet 16 tonight.
Developing a decent three would be nice, and I would like to see her or someone else have a consistent 12-15 footer.
FYI, it is Ediger. She was highly ranked out of Michigan. The knee injury got her but she seemed to get better as the year progressed.
What knee injury? She had a bad ankle injury two seasons ago but I don’t recall a knee injury.
Get a grip dude, 90% of people on this board felt the same way. Evaluate yourself or join Cyclown fanatic and get off the Hawkeye board.
