Iowa WBB Class of 2026 Recruiting Thread

I’m sure everyone is still smarting from that L yesterday, but if it’s any consolation, Jenica Lewis shared a photo to her IG story of her with a bunch of friends yesterday decked out in black and gold. The caption was “it’s always a Hawkeye state.”

She does seem to appreciate the Iowa State WBB team, but she has generally seemed to be more positively engaged with Iowa over the past couple of years than our rival and my totally amateur / unscientific take is we have a leg up on them in the battle for her alliegance (tho she may very well head cross-country).

I’m amazed at what people complaint about. A teenage girl wants to post about the schools recruiting her on X and she is an attention seeker? What in the hell else is she supposed to post about? Good for her and her family that she is being recruited by schools to play sports and get an education.

I think it also serves as a “thank you but no” to everyone else. I doubt she is gonna contact all her other suitors to turn them down.
 
She doesn't fit in down there.
There certainly is a huge difference from San Jose to Columbia,SC. For that metter, the same can be said for San Jose to Iowa. Getting an unofficial visit is huge, but USC and UCLA will be hard to beat for McKenna's commitment.
 
I've heard Layla Hays and Manuella AF will take officials this weekend also.
If true, this is a huge weekend for recruiting. Hope Layla revisiting is a good sign. We really need at least one big this year and next. O'Grady and Edinger graduate after this year and Stuelke and Gymfi next year. That leaves only Heinen inside.
 
Hadn't seen Skinner committed to Duke. Wasn't Duke or Kentucky where Greenway wants to go.
UCLA, Clemson, Stanford, Tennessee have all been mentioned as well. Iowa hasn't been eliminated, but it's almost like she's in an "Anybody but Iowa" mode. She knows Iowa inside out. Perhaps she wants to go somewhere her father hasn't been? You never know.
 
Any thoughts on Averie Lower just up the road at Clear Creek-Amana? Has played for All Iowa Attack, but may be switching to another club. Recently offered by Creighton.
