Iowa WBB 2025 Recruiting Thread
- Thread starter BraydonRoberts5
- Start date
So she is coming to the Crossover at Kinnick????
REALLY would be great to get Addie Deal and/or Brinn McGaughy. This past recruiting class was great, but Deal and McGaughy are potential All-American good.
Post Avery Gordon to Purdue. Iowa offered but haven't heard her name much during the AAU season.

Wow, saw where it says she’s 6’ 6.” Not looking forward to defending that in the coming years.
When I saw Colfax my first reaction was the town outside Does Moines along I-80.
LSU may be the womens version of 80's unlv? They seem to have a large salary cap. Over the next couple of years its going to be interesting to see if the best teams money can buy always win, or if other approaches work better. The best paid teams will have unforgiving fan bases, tension between people fighting to get paid which could lead to team tension, and I would expect higher churn. On the other hand, low budget teams seem like they wont be able to compete? I think we dont get back to stability until the payers for some sort of collective to ensure that the money is spread wider, and there is some parity. If the teams that pay the most always win all of the momentum currently flowing into the sport dies out.

Addie was in Baton Rouge last weekend. She is in Iowa City this weekend.

Hope the weather is nice. I also hope she makes a decision soon.
Hawks must be out on McGaughy. Never visited that I'm aware of. Tennessee might be the favorite but that's pure speculation on my part.
McGaughy did say that she'd visit Iowa this fall; and she has spoken very highly of the program and the coaches. So I hope we're still toward the top of the mix for Brynn, I think she'd be a huge land for the program. Good size, an impressive range of skills, good leader, great person. Problem is, as with all of these top players, they have a cornucopia of offers from the best programs in the country. So maybe the better perspective is that the game/players have grown so much that even if Bluder misses on a big-time target, there are a lot of potentially great players still out there. But the 2025 class is the one that that will determine where Iowa stands on the national stage.

It's possible Brynn was sick, something came up, whatever. Maybe Bluder didn't want to split too much of her time for a kid like Brynn who really deserves your full attention. Idk that we're out of the running.
BTW I saw on the LSU forum that Deal also visited Alabama in October. Maybe she wants to be in the SEC. LSU fans positive she will pick them, but are aware Iowa is biggest competition.

Hoping you are correct and my assumptions are way off regarding McGaughy!

When did Stremlow drop to 91? She’s about to fall out of the top 100 if she keeps trending that way.
On the bright side…when you consider that we have a 2025 recruit who is ranked higher
than any of these 4 — and that when you combine the 5 players, we have a complete lineup…we’re in a decent place!

15 finalists? 15??? seriously? 😂 😂 😂 😂
It's nice to be on the list, but can they really be considered finalist if there are 15?
When she gets to three let me know. She's playing the game.

For sure. But 2 years ago I doubt we would have even made this cut.

Neither. But a few people here are convinced the deal is done. She said Iowa was her dream school in an interview when she was 13. She is still visiting schools all over the country.
