I’ve long believed Caitlin has inspired many young women to stay home / avoid the blue bloods in favor of building something new. I could list various athletes but it’s all speculation of course. I felt that way about McGaughy too tho.
Getting back in form
I've said it before and I'll say it again. That young lady can really shoot and has terrific range.
She was …..as they say….. “feeling it”.
Saw a post she made earlier in which she included something to the effect of ...'All things are possible in Christ'. Maybe she has a strong faith and is waiting to see what other pieces Iowa adds that may provide connections for her socially w/in the program. (idk, but maybe LB was more along that line and since she's retired, Speiser not looking at Iowa as close? Again, idk )
A little surprised not to see any blue-blood offers (UConn, So. Carolina, LSU, Tenn, Stanford, etc) Maybe waiting to see if anything develops? (Great shooter, though @ 6'1 she doesn't seem as quick as some of those programs may prefer)
Don't recruits only get 5 officials? If true and she's already taken 2, maybe she wants to be very selective about her last 3?
Needless, ... indeedless! Logo-3 potential for sure.

Last intel I heard on Fandel was that it was down to Creighton and Kansas, with a lean towards Kansas. But, that intel is 10 days to 2 weeks old. Others may have entered the fray in that time, but I will stick with one of these two.Looks like Libby Fandel is committing today.

Hawkbuck, you hearing any positive movement on 2025 recruiting, or still the status quo?
They've all been pretty busy with AAU or in Skinner's case a national team tournament in Mexico. Hays just announced her top 8 but hasn't even visited 4 of the 8 schools on the list.
As others have pointed out, I believe this class is in a zero-sum-game-sort-of-way stalemate. As in there's less pressure to committ when there's less commitments from your cohorts/peers for the same general pool of offers. At some point a domino effect has to occur that triggers a rush of commitments as the spots evaporate. Musical chairs in a sense.
Yep. When McCabe committed she said the coaches told her (and presumably others) they had 1 scholarship left and the first to commit got it. That created a rush to commit and McCabe's class was done really early.
McCabe was also motivated to find a home when she lost her potential spot to Nebraska after Callin Hake committed to Nebraska on July 29, 2020, and McCabe committed to Iowa 5 days later on August 3.
The month of August is a "quiet" period meaning coaches are only allowed in person campus contact, i.e unofficial or official visits and then August 12-18 is a "dead" period so it will probably get even quieter.
FWIW Hays posted a “goodbye summer” series that had quite a few different pics, and one of them was from a visit to Washington (tho she didn’t make a full post about it like she did with Iowa, Illinois and Indiana). So she has visited at least 5 of her Top 8.
Let the dominos fall. Certainly relevant to Skinner.
Good info.
