Henderson recently visited Oregon. Looks like Michigan, Utah, Cal, & Oregon have been at her games in January according to social media posts.
Here's my source on the Deal injury: https://www.ocregister.com/2023/12/...-to-miss-remainder-of-the-season-with-injury/
Was wondering if it might be "the girl from Alaska", but couldn't remember her name.
Briefly looked at a clip on YouTube. Definitely no trouble getting down the court at 6'4" or 6'5".
Her recruitment blew up after Chicago last summer. High level footwork for someone that height & age. Mallegni, Guyton, Heiden, Houston, Deal, and her would be incredible.
I was just thinking the same thing...you'd think this would seal the deal 🤞
Criminey, we even brought in a snow storm for her visit. Go Alaska!
I believe this is her 2nd official visit overall, with the first being to Gonzaga.
I have a good feeling about her based on the article. If she doesn’t come, I think it will be because she wants to commit to a school on the West Coast or somewhere with more access to nature (**cough** Colorado).
She actually played her last two years for Lisa. Amazing that Angie Lee recruited two good players out of Alaska, both Leah Magner and Beatrice Bullock.
You guys should check out Addie Deal's Likes on Twitter. It's absolutely flooded with Iowa stuff. She likes stuff by Megan Gustafson, Jan, Raina, Kyle, Go Iowa Awesome, anything about Clark...
I get that social media doesn't necessarily mean *anything at all*, but man...it's obvious there's no other program/coaching staff she's in touch with/follows at this level. She also has affection for Iowa State, Ohio State, Indiana, LSU, Alabama and Stanford, and a bit more for Oregon, Baylor, TCU, and Utah....but she's not engaging with their stuff anywhere near the level she is with Iowa. She used to engage with LSU pretty regularly but it seems that's cooled...
I would still guess LSU and Stanford are her other top options...if LSU gets her, it's gotta come down to money. If Stanford gets her, it's gotta be academics/location and I can't really fault her for that. If anyone else gets her, it'll be very disappointing.
Really trying to manifest a 2025 class of Houston, Hays and Deal with good juju....
I know right? I was thinking this too. If she’s not the kind of kid that loves multi-leg itineraries that can run up to 10 hours, her recruiting journey is gonna be a slog. Really glad she thought Iowa was worth the time and effort.
Looks like they offered her back in June.
Prospects Nation does rate Hays # 21 for the '25 class.
Wow! As always, appreciate the good updates.
Zediker's offer list wasn't particularly impressive. A fair bit worse than Levin's from what I could find quickly.
Was supposed to be at the Kinnick scrimmage but did not make it. Haven't seen anything since. There were a few articles about her last summer during the AAU circuit.
I hope she (and our other big recruiting prospects) visits during the weekend of the OSU game or when we host in the tourney!
Good news! Coach Jensen confirmed that they are expected to have “a lot of great recruits” visiting this weekend and will be in attendance for the OSU game. Unfortunately, I don’t have any names confirmed. Does anyone know who is supposed to be visiting?

Arizona feels eerily similar to Oregon: huge success, then a decently big falloff after the players that had that success graduated. They've also had some trouble with players transferring out.Quite a few AZ fans pulling for Henderson to stay home. Adia Barnes took them to the Final Four only a few years ago, not too crazy to think Henderson would be tempted to become Wildcat.
But they faded fast after that run and they seem to be trending anywhere but up….this year has been a head scratcher for them, and it keeps getting weirder….
Arizona leading scorer Kailyn Gilbert not on Wildcats' roster, coach Adia Barnes confirms
Leading scorer Kailyn Gilbert is no longer part of the Arizona women's basketball team, coach Adia Barnes confirmed to the Star Monday. Gilbert is still in school and on scholarship for now.
