Iowa WBB 2025 Recruiting Thread
- Thread starter BraydonRoberts5
- Start date
I enjoy beating a dead horse so it’s worth pointing out that Maddyn Greenway is the tireless fast break PG that would have provided the rocket fuel to the run and shoot high scoring style that Iowa WBB is known for across the nation. Guyton has a lot of potential, just not the same style of player.
There are other point guards in the country that can push the ball that may want to come to Iowa. Also, have you ever watched film of Guyton preinjury or are you basing your comments on her play ~one month removed from being cleared and playing limited minutes post-ACL tear?
Deal's team lost to
Give it a rest, She's not coming.
Frankly, when a recruit goes elsewhere, they totally disappear in my mind. Greenway will be an exception because of her parents. In my book, the door will always be open for her to come “home”.
Really? I didn't know she'd already signed. Who'd she commit to?
I find that hard to believe. Maybe over 4 years, starting at $200K then ramping up $100K per year. Who knows, a lot of crazy shit going on here.
With Chad’s net worth likely exceeding 50 million dollars I don’t know that NIL would be a driving factor, That said I have no idea of the dynamics in the family so who knows. She said she fell in love with the environment around the Kentucky program, I tend to take that as the deciding factor.
People need to remember there are little sisters in the family….
Probably an exaggeration when it comes to Chad’s net worth. He made about $50-million in the NFL, before agent fees and taxes. I’m sure he invested well and is not hurting, but $50-million seems high.
That doesn't seem that high. I mean, half the posters on this board are worth that much or more. Just sayin'.
Verified with a guy that does business with Chad - high 300k per year for 4 years.

That is a starter Day One. A Deal, Guyton, Stremlow, and hopefully Lewis backcourt makes me downright giddy!

If Jan can add another top 10 - 20 player in the 2026 class, Hawks are going to be a challenge for years to come.
Deal is special and a higher end talent than say a target like Lewis IMO. She has a fluid lanky build with great lateral movement and quickness and is very smooth operating in traffic. Throw in great shooting range. Plus putting up numbers going against elite competition. We are blessed to have her and need to continue to land similar talent if we want to be regular members of the elite club.

Where does Houston fit? She was pretty highly ranked before getting hurt?
Houston is a 3 and a 4 if/when we'd go small ball / with a 4-out lineup. She doesn't have the handles to play the 1 or 2 spot as I understand it.

Might have a higher upside than Heiden.
I really like Heiden's athletism. She is very quick in the post. I think her and Hays will be a solid one-two punch.
Well, the competition in that video was pretty weak, but it sure looked to me like Hays already has very strong footwork and post skills.
Really hard to get a handle on Hays and the 2025 posts. HoopGurlz regards the ‘25 post group, with Hays ranking 2nd, as the worst in a long time, probably the worst in the history of HoopGurlz, going back to 2006, I think. Usually the 2nd rated post is a top 20 or so recruit. Hays is rated 70, which suggests a lot of skepticism about her upside. Hope she over performs her rating.
That’s the question. There is a pretty strong sentiment among people who have seen her play that she doesn’t really have a natural position at the college level, barring a huge improvement in shooting the ball.
I see basically same size as O’Grady with more fluidity/mobility, So regardless of competition that seems like a good positive to start with.
Think it's great that Hays plays volleyball. Good hint of athleticism, hand-eye coordination. The physicality and competitive nature, that thing that compels a player to get a rebound over someone, is what is hard to gauge until they are playing similar competition.
*The team really needs some "lowered brow" competitive personalities. Not sure if Iowa attracts that sort of thing, or conversely if it fits with the recruiting agenda.

Lisa and Jan have had some pretty good centers over the years that developed that were not highly regarded. I think Heiden and Hays will do just fine over the next several years.
The article is behind a paywall on details. However, it's always a bonus when one of our recruits makes the headline of a top nationwide event.
