Bjorn looks several inches taller then Clark so I could really see her as a versatile 3/4 in our system.
Iowa WBB Class of 2026 Recruiting Thread

Well said. It is well documented how many Frontline players that Lisa has lost since the Supreme Court created this mess that makes it so we have no chance compete
Braydon it's probably worth adding Kate Harpring to the first post -- this article says she is in contact with Iowa.
Seeing the Kentucky offer announcement, I'm not totally convinced Maddyn will be a Hawk. If Skinner, would commit, and that is a big If, then we would have Guyton at PG also. Recruiting is interesting to me, always intriguing seeing how the dominos fall. Women's recruiting has been more interesting lately because it seams Jan and the coaches provide more information about young guns. Fran keeps everything close to the vest, not sure why. He loses most of the top recruits he goes after anyway.

I figure Maddyn is 100% a Hawkeye, but who knows, i think the black and gold runs through her veins along with how well the program has done. No different than a Uconn and Clark affinity, it was just Uconn never showed the love back.
Is Kentucky worth worrying about in women's bball? Doesn't seem like it.
Virginia tech’s coach just left for KY (see other threads about Georgia Amoore and the like). I assume she already had a Tech offer. Even if she knows she wants to be a hawk, she has no plans to cut her recruiting journey short. If she's still visiting campuses, she's not 100% a Hawk. Kids change their mind all the time...

Hope you are right. I have wanted her to be a Hawk for awhile. With her parents both being Hawkeye athletes, she bleeds black and gold.
Nope not at all. Just my gut and tea leaves tells me it’s not likely .
Brooks seems to be agressive in turning the thing around. Is he grabbing what he can with new players, or is he trying to actually assemble a team? Should be very interesting to see how things play out.
Greenway is playing 5th column for Iowa. She goes around and makes other teams spend a lot of effort recruiting her, but secretly she's a Hawkeye. 
Update on espnW 2026 HoopGurlz Rankings:
No one does less with more than Coach Close. If she's goes to UCLA I'll be salty
The only thing with doing a mostly "4 guard" lineup is I like to see a number of the guards on the team be in the 6 foot neighborhood to help with defense and rebounds.
How about Bjorn? It's always hard to find agile talented front-line players.
Guards are great and Bluder's offense is built on motion. but IMO, Iowa runs up against size and in the NCAAs and size is necessary. Well. talent and size.
When the ball doesn't go in the basket it is necessary to rebound. Speed can do it. Size can do it. Size AND speed will do it.
Brianna Crittenden highlights. I believe Stamp is the lead recruiter for her.
If we get Hays there’s no reason to pursue her or another P anyway. One of them, Heiden or Hays would just be wasted on the bench. I’m more concerned about PF depth.
I know most are hoping for Greenway in 26 & hopefully that happens. Some buzz for Brooklyn Haywood this weekend after going shot for shot with 2025 #1 Aaliyah Chavez. Plays with Addie Deal.
