Iowa WBB Class of 2026 Recruiting Thread
- Thread starter BraydonRoberts5
- Start date
So why do SC, UConn and LSU keep getting recruits? Wouldn't they have to sit behind upper class men?
A combination of factors. The very top players in a class are usually good enough to find a spot in a rotation or starting lineup even at the best schools. Players further down commit knowing they might have to wait a year or two but they're fine with that because they're part of a championship caliber team.
Those schools all have transfers that leave after a year or two in search of more opportunities for playing time. UConn has had significant injury issues the past few years to the point where most of their young players end up playing anyway. South Carolina has gotten very good at balancing a 9 or 10 player rotation.
I don’t think South Carolina and Louisiana are so behind the times that they force women to sit behind men that the consider the “Upper Class.”
Not sure about Connecticut.
Since she didn't post about the offer and had her club team post, I doubt their is mutual interest. Just say'in.
I see she's reposted two tweets on X about her getting an Iowa offer.
For what it's worth: Greenway is most engaged with Iowa, Duke, UCLA, and Kentucky on social media.
Any top recruit will have competition - unless they go to a Western Kentucky. Agree with you 💯…
What's the overall talent level of Wisconsin recruits when it comes to WBB? Since 2003 Wisconsin WBB have had *two* regular seasons in the BIG with above .500 record play. Last time was 2010. Yikes.
Warnock, Gustafson, and now Mallegni are the only 3 recruits recently, that I'm aware of, from WI. Pretty good group right there but a pretty short list. It seems to me there should be 1-2 top players yearly from WI we should be able to poach given the level of their instate program, geographical/cultural proximity, success of recent WI recruits & word of mouth, etc. Anyone familiar with that area, in terms of recruiting, know enough to comment?
I can see it now. She commits to iowa and 1st practice tears up her knee.
Iowa can't have nice things.
UConn has poached one each of the last two seasons.
I'd say the last several years of Iowa women bb has been pretty damn good, almost as good as it gets actually
Kussow is also very highly rated (top 15) by hoop gurlz fwiw, She would be a very nice get for Iowa, Hopefully having Stremlow and Mallegni will help keep a pipeline going.
Humm, I must be blind. Clark played 4 years and never had a big injury????
OR she could become the 2nd CC for Iowa.
If I could get good odds on it…and if Chloe Johnson goes to Iowa…. I would put money on her challenging the scoring record.
A ways back someone on here posted an article about her that’s pretty inspiring. She has OCD and basketball has helped her manage the condition as the court is her happy place. Jake Sullivan (ISU) also struggled with OCD and has been a huge support to her and the family as well.
On basketball court, eighth-grader Chloe Johnson tames her 'secret storm' with stardom
When she was younger, 14-year-old Chloe Johnson's life was often consumed by battles with obsessive-compulsive disorder and another rare childhood condition.www2.startribune.com
I check almost daily to see if anyone commits. Dang it. Frustrating.
So many possibilities, and Iowa is now a major draw with high visibility and notoriety. Jensen has a good rep developing bigs.
Landing Deal and of course, Caitlin shows the Hawks are competitive at the premiere level which matters in the recruiting universe.
The remarkable recruiting classes Bluder landed before retirement and, as importantly, stayed loyal to Jensen are not just the immediate future, but Jensen's project for her legacy.
Great that she'll be in Iowa on the Friday but unfortunately she'll be at Wiscy for their home opener the next day. We'll need a power forward in the fall of 26 with Hannah being a senior after the 25 - 26 season.
Is this an official visit or unofficial?
Edit: Was also curious how she can visit this week. It is a quiet period for womens basketball until September 1st.

Looks like Byles didn't make it. She posted about a South Carolina offer a few hours ago.
She’s coming on Saturday
You realize "we" are the rich now and we can't get everyone. I celebrate those that come aboard and wish the best for those that don't. I want to see snipers and skill join the Hawks and give me Hays and a few others and I'll be set until the next recruiting cycle 😁
I don't see Iowa being anywhere close to the "rich" yet.....it isn't like they getting who they want and turning others away
What's the story with Kussow. Is she becoming more of a point guard target in 26 than Greenway?

According to the only user on this board known for having spot-on intel (Hawkbuck), Greenway is headed to Duke.
According to a user known for having good intel on the Minnesota WBB board (see a previous post by AMAYS), Iowa has a very good shot with Kussow.
