I watched it all and was hoping the Cyclone women could pull off the win. They played great and it was one of the most exciting games I've ever watched.
And back to Iowa WBB recruiting.......
How can the coaches make time for an official visit? Or is Brynn spending more time in IC than just today.
Good for you. I watched till halftime and woke up this morning giddy to the news they lost. I would have been a lot giddier if they would have gotten beat by 20.
Arrived yesterday, leaving tomorrow. Official visits can't be more than 48 hours
"Get a grip dude".... Clearly dealing with a mature individual here. Small thoughts, smaller vocabulary.
Jada should take the position of Graduate Assistant of Player Development right after she graduates.
Helluva lot better watch than the men’s game.
Brynn picked a great game to visit. Hawks showed a lot of grit tonight.
Not to mention, the crowd must’ve blew Brynn away
I wasn't at the OSU game, but tonight was the most consistently loud I heard the crowd. It wasn't just one moment here or there. It was a humongous roar with every big play.
Not sure who the folks around Brynn were but I assume parents. The lady in Hawk gold looked very intense in the conversation. Hope that was a good not a bad thing.
That's Nancy Lieberman in gold
Interesting. I saw her introduced during the game.
Another observation. Jordan Speiser has not attended any of Iowa's big home games down the stretch. Is she not in the picture anymore?
I was at OSU but not last night. OSU was just crazy . Probably loudest I've ever heard Carver.
Had to stand up the whole game but that was because of the Mountaineers fans stood up in front of us. So that was different. And it was a consistently loud as BraydonRoberts5 said.
I think it's clear by who they've brought in, the top 3 priorities are Skinner, Hays, & McGaughy. How likely it is they get all of them is another story. Skinner & McGaughy seem to know each other fairly well judging by social media interaction.
Have you heard much on them of all speculation? Where they are at with any of the 3?
I think they have a good chance with Hays. She said she wanted to narrow her list down to a few schools, then take visits. Thus far, she's only visited Iowa and Gonzaga. She'll probably take more now that her HS season is over, but she's only seen two game environments and you can't really compete with Iowa on that front this year. Plus in the Wright Thompson piece it mentioned Jan was flying in from Alaska last summer. That's a big time commitment for Jan to make, but goes a long way with recruits.
Based on social media, Iowa, K-State, and Notre Dame seem to be Speiser's favorites. That seems to lean towards K-State though. I don't think it's the best sign that she didn't come to one of Iowa's games during the regular season.
For McGaughy, her dream school appears to be UConn per this. That said, I don't believe UConn has offered her, even though she had them in her Top 12. If UConn offers, she probably goes there, but that's not at all certain at this point.

On the Boneyard, someone said Geno flew to Colfax to see her. I can’t imagine he would fly to her hometown and not offer her.
Love Adam's response.
How could she and her parents not have been impressed last night?
Ordinarily I'd agree, but she seems to post most/all of her offers. It seems strange that she wouldn't post the one she was most looking forward to if she got it.
I don’t follow UCONN recruiting but Geno appears to be giving McGaughy the Caitlin Clark treatment. What a luxury to slow roll a highly ranked prospect waiting for an offer from their dream school.
Uconn is in the final 3 for the number 1 recruit in the 24 class, Sarah Strong. She plays the same position as McGaughy. Reading between the lines, if they don't get Strong, Brynn is likely a top priority for 25.
Similar to Clark’s recruitment, I think, insofar as UCONN prioritized Bueckers over CC.
Some of those Mountaineer fans could block out the sun.
I don't think they were ever going to offer Clark. There are a few fairly well known interview clips where Geno talks about body language and not offering great players because of how they act. Clark mentioned Uconn never called her. Probably for discussion on another thread though.

You're right this should be discussed elsewhere, but I'll just quickly share that someone on Reddit made a really interesting point -- Marisa Mosely was the head of Midwestern recruiting at UConn during CC/PBs HS years. She also is almost definitely the unnamed B1G HC that yelled "You're not as good as you think you are!" to Clark from the sidelines, as mentioned in the ESPN profile about her.
I remember a company slow playing it with me during the interview process. They then offered? I went with another opportunity because I decided to commit to a company that really wanted me.

It's a smaller footprint, but a sold out Kennel at Gonzaga, as it was last night for the ZAG's victory over Utah, is also a very cool environment. Gonzaga has won 36 in a row at home, including beating Stanford this year.
Deal, Houston and Hays would be a great class. Add in Skinner and/or McGaughy look out. Think what Coach Bluder could do with a top five class of talent.
