Was wondering the same about the 4 for her only because it seems we have such a hard time filling that role.
Found some interesting posts in this thread back in mid '23 on Houston that might shed some insight to it.

"Journey seems more like a stretch 4 to me, at this point, because her shooting and ball handling is just okay. Having said that, she’s more of a 3, like you say, if I consider Stulke a perfect 4. Some similarities to their games but Houston is better than Hannah on the perimeter. Still work to do!"

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. If Bluder can land Skinner, McGaughy, Hays, or Speiser, this will certainly be a Top 5 class. If she can land both Skinner and McGaughy, it...

Of course 1.5 years later some of this may have changed. Hopefully others who have seen her play since her injury can speak to how she is coming along on her outside game to fill any of these 3 roles.
Btw, Divine Bourrage just went down with an injury so Houston may get some time at PG now if I'm understanding @HIWILLE correct.
Seems strange to me that the team is ranked 14th in class 5A and 35th overall in the state of Iowa and they have 2 of the best players in the country.Recent Davenport North report by Derrick Beechum. Report Date: February 8, 2025

Don't have a twitterX account to see the comments on that DN Report post but my gut tells me someone surely has called him out on both of those numbers by now.
He seems to have provided the right stats for Journey and Divine.
Sort on points so they both come to the top of the list.
Seems the 16-5 record includes a scrimmage game according to this.
The disparity in the roster of girls high school teams is just crazy. Go look at the scores of some of the games on a weekly basis. It's actually worse than football in most cases. It's pretty much all the rich suburban schools and nobody else, which is kind of what football has come down to plus throw in some of the Catholic schools like Dowling who is always good. And for some reason participation in high school girls basketball seems to be going down, which I think is odd.

Hays nets 33 as No. 1 Wasilla girls post team’s highest scoring game since 2017
"The all-state senior center delivered the goods for the No. 1-ranked Wasilla girls basketball team in Thursday’s 87-66 victory over Service in the Valley, but a tough night at the foul line prevented her from having an epic performance.
She recorded 33 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one blocked shot in an effort every bit as good as the numbers. Her only hiccup was uncharacteristically poor free-throw shooting as she missed nine of 10 attempts, which cost the Iowa signee a chance to bag a 40-burger.
She’ll take the win, but Hays was obviously frustrated. Each miss at the line drew a different reaction as she shook her head, starred off in disbelief, fixed her scrunchy or rolled her eyes. Wasilla coach Jeannie Hebert-Truax was also perplexed and threw her hands in the air as she looked at her assistant coaches in disbelief.
It happens – even to star players.
...
With the win, the top-ranked and defending Class 4A state champion Warriors (16-0) extended their winning streak to 21 games and produced their highest scoring game since hanging 83 points on Palmer in 2017."

Anyone seen any of Deal's full games to know how she racks up her rebounds/assists? Not always representative with the highlight videos. Just wondering if she demonstrates that "knack" for playing the ball off the rim, good at highpointing, or just outhustles the competition to get to good spots etc etc? Im curious to find some indication of her strengths and her fit with the roster next year - i.e. what amount of these stats are immediately translatable
If you have time to watch them, here are 4 of Mater Dei's recent games so you can eval her.

Wasilla will carry a 23-game winning streak into Tuesday’s Northern Lights Conference game against third-ranked Colony (12-4) and newly minted 2,000-point scorer Hallie Clark."

I’ve probably watched half a dozen Wasilla games this season and have to say that their competition is plain awful with a couple of exceptions. Tonight’s game against Colony should be a good test. Yet I’m very high on Hays despite her rarely facing anyone over six feet tall. She will have to make a huge adjustment once she gets to IC but she has great potential.It's almost unbelievable the amount of blowouts Deal and Hays have led their teams to this year.

Yes, agree 100% with all that and the competition does give me a little pause as well. However, Hays is not a stick to be pushed around. She has pretty good footwork, smoothness and agility for her size to be able move better at the next level. Hays can do fadeaways on one foot and she has a decent 3 ptr as well. Impressed with her skillset. When comparing Hays to AOG, they are totally two different animals with their abilities to make adjustments, imho. Plus, I see a different level of hunger in Hays than I do AOG. This combo of agility and hunger is the reason she has great potential.

The other thing to like about Layla is she said she expected year one at Iowa to be a “come in learn and get adjusted year”. Depending how everything plays out with Hannah and Ava eating minutes at the 5 I wonder if a redshirt year could be in play.
Lot of variables to play out here also w/portal on who's all competing for that 4 spot & then who wins it along w/backup(s). Even the class of 2026 might have a bearing on it as well.
However, I'm going to take a stab at it from what we know today.
If Hannah and Ava end up at the 5 again and can't stay out of foul trouble, see very little chance of that redshirt happening because we also have AJE behind Hannah/AOG/Ava this year. We lose 2 of them for next year and only gain Hays back. An extra redshirt loss on top of that makes it even worse especially if we have another concussion/injury situation with any of them.
At the very least, will most likely see Hays duplicating what Ava did this year. Although, I'm not counting out Layla for even more PT. Think we'll be extremely lucky to get away with a redshirt for her.
But who knows, maybe the class of 2026 will be better than the prior two classes and the coaches would rather have Layla play 4 years with them and try to force a redshirt as much as possible for that to happen.
I completely agree that a lot of variables are in play. As you noted possible injuries, Layla may develop quickly, etc, etc. I truly hope Layla comes in and plays well enough they feel they need to play her. I know Jan has said coming from H.S learning to play post in college is the most difficult transition of all positions.
They played Colony like a month and a week ago (1/11/2025) and Hays had a double-double in a 55 - 41 win.
Her stat line was: 16 points, 19 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
We'll she who made the better adjustments since then.

She made the class 5A All-District Teams 2024-2025.
Class 5A East Standouts Announced!
Colony pulled the upset last night, 39-38. Biggest factor in the game was that Wasilla’s college-bound point guard picked up her fourth foul in the 2nd quarter. It allowed Colony to trap the other Wasilla guards and create turnovers. Sloppy game. Haven’t seen stats but Layla didn’t dominate. Triple-teamed whenever she touched the ball which wasn’t often. Needs work on her free throws. On the positive side, she led the fast break a couple of times. Handles the ball well and can run.
Iowa hasn't really use redshirts except for injuries. Jada hasn't really played meaningful minutes in 3 years now and hasn't redshirted. Kennise didn't play meaningful minutes last year and didn't redshirt. Ediger has played so few meaningful minutes that Iowa could've made due if she redshirted a year.
Given that history--and that Hays would probably play some meaningful minutes as Iowa's third option at the 5--I'd be very surprised if she redshirts.
The one caveat to that is perhaps Jan could take a different approach than Bluder did. It was pretty clear that all the examples I cited were never going to crack Iowa's rotation. Kate Martin shows a player can make big strides late in their career if given an extra season. I can see value in redshirting a player whose role will be limited year 1 but who you think will be part of the rotation thereafter. I still think the odds of it happening are low, though.

My definition of "forced redshirt" is by playing zero mins throughout the season. Meaning Jan would try everything in her power to not to play Layla 1 sec if she wanted to have the ability to redshirt. Having an injury or illness before the midpoint of the season gives you another avenue of recourse to redshirt also.
Now you might be saying the same thing about AJE, Jada and KJE that if they really wanted to redshirt them, then they wouldn't play them at the end of games so they don't play 1 sec on the season and then they have the ability to redshirt. In a sense playing AJE, Jada and KJE one sec of a season is trying to lose the ability to redshirt them. Meaning these players are most likely not going to get meaningful mins throughout their careers at Iowa so you don't want them to have the ability to redshirt. It's like a polite way to say, if you want to play meaningful mins, then portal your way out.
Now all of my aforementioned interpretations are based on the rules below.
Just trying to see if we're on the same page of redshirt rules for women's basketball. I could have wrong info from the links below.
You can't redshirt if:
1) She has played a couple of mins here and there.
2) She hasn't suffered a season-ending injury or illness before the midpoint of the season.

I wonder what the rationale is when the NCAA says you can play a quarter of the season in football and retain redshirt eligibility and if you play one second in BB you lose that year.Seems absurd to me.
Edit: doing a little research, Matt Painter was asked about this topic earlier this year and he said he was befuddled by the discrepancy between the sports.

Just trying to see if we're on the same page of redshirt rules for women's basketball. I could have wrong info from the links below.
You can't redshirt if:
1) She has played a couple of mins here and there.
2) She hasn't suffered a season-ending injury or illness before the midpoint of the season.
Redshirt Rules 101 - Informed Athlete
"NCAA Division I and II
If an athlete enters a contest (at the varsity or JV level), even if only for one or two minutes or for one or two plays, that athlete will be using one of their four seasons of college eligibility.
Once that happens, their only opportunity to get this season “over again” will be if they suffer a season-ending injury or illness before the midpoint of the season and have not exceeded the limit on the number of games played or dates of competition for their sport."
Redshirt Rules 101
Rick Allen reviews basic Redshirt Rules for NCAA, NJCAA, CCCAA, and NAIA schools.
Clarification of the "Four Game Rule" - Informed Athlete
"The “Four Game Rule” that these parents are referring to only applies to the sport of football at the NCAA Division I level.
In every other sport, participation during any portion of a game, meet, or match during the regular season will trigger the use of one of an athlete’s four seasons of competition."
Clarification of the "Four Game Rule"
What is the Four Game Rule and can my student-athlete use it for a redshirt season?
Is this your understanding of redshirt rules for women's basketball?
If not, can you send me link(s) to the official redshirt rules, so I'm not in the dark on them. TIA
Deal's team wins their 2nd round of the playoffs: Mater Dei 69, Fairmont Prep 56
Her stat line: 23 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds
They play highly rated Etiwanda next (2/22) which is going to be a tough one because Mater Dei has already lost their 2nd best player (Wynn - out for the season) and now arguably their 3rd best player is day-to-day.
"Mater Dei took a 65-53 advantage with 1:35 left. “We executed really well down the stretch on both sides,” said coach Wynn, whose team outscored Fairmont Prep 26-13 in the fourth. Wynn described Kiernan's status as “day by day.” The coach added that the training staff was being “cautious” with Kiernan's status."
A CHA win question as well...
