My advice to recruits, and my advice doesn't matter, but I would tell recruits to make darn sure that the place you decide on is a place that you like and respect the coaches and your future teammates. You have your whole life ahead of you to make all of the money you will ever need. Many of our former players are doing quite well for themselves, Disterhoft, Reynolds, including some head coaches. I realize other places offer future opportunities as well, but I don't believe they all do.
Iowa WBB Class of 2026 Recruiting Thread

All recruits should read that ESPN article written by Wright Thompson.
Like Guyton, another young lady who's Dad was a long time pro player. Great bloodlines...
The thing is IF your good enough, TRUE NIL will come. CC22 is exactly perfect example of this.....
Agree. Having almost 20 recruits at a Uconn game just tells them, "Hey thanks ladies, but most of you will never play here"....
Especially at Iowa. Deal will do great in NIL and so will a stud or 2 or 3 from the 26 class. Can you imagine Harpring at Iowa? Instant celebrity.
Maybe, but there presence alone raises Iowa's recruiting profile. Who knows really...
They certainly had access. Those pictures with CC22 were with her working out with the team in the am I believe.
This is a cool photo posted by Kate's dad shortly after the visit. Kate has her back to the camera next to AJ.
What's really cool is that's her little sister standing next to her while the whole group gets to experience the Iowa Circle.
A classic example of the culture in place.
"Addison Bjorn is set to take an unofficial visit to UConn on Feb. 12 followed by another visit to Texas on Feb. 16 according to On3Sports."
Pretty much crickets on the boneyard if Bjorn visited on the 12th. The boneyard is usually pretty active. Couldn't find anything on it either. Seems odd... Maybe a reschedule? Maybe a fallout? A mystery for now.

There was a snow storm in the Midwest on the 12th, so a reschedule seems very possible."Addison Bjorn is set to take an unofficial visit to UConn on Feb. 12 followed by another visit to Texas on Feb. 16 according to On3Sports."

Mckenna Woliczko's dad reposted this article from Kyle Huesmann in the last day or so.
Bjorn, Woliczko, and Harpring would be a Dream Team. Add in Lewis and I would be extremely happy 😃
That would be a top three class, maybe #1.
Yes, it is...I am an optimist, but that is extremely unlikely...
They would have the opportunity to do something special together, but too much to ask for I'm afraid.
If we would get Lewis and at least one PF, we would be in great shape. Truly wishful thinking to get more. Too many top programs after these young ladies, not to mention distance to expect getting all of them.
We have two solid posts, a top 15 wing, top 50 point and several solid wings in the fold.

Bjorn would be a player like none we’ve seen at Iowa.
Lewis and Bjorn are good friends, they would be an awesome duo to add to the current roster. one can only hope.
Lewis, Woliczo, Bjorn and Harpring would likely be the top rated class in the history of women's basketball.
But one can dream.
I could settle for that.
I think there was a year when Coach Stringer had that kind of class! I am thinking they made it to the Hawkeye’s first final four!
2 Raven Johnson
3 Saniya Rivers(transferred and help lead NC State to a final 4)
4 Sania Feagin(big year for Saniya’s/Sania’s)
14 Bree Hall
They have all been mostly role players for the one’s that stayed. This year Maryam Dauda who was 13th that season transferred in an is averaging a robust 1.7 ppg in 6 mpg. Amazing how Dawn gets these 5 stars to fall in line and accept smaller roles.

It wouldn’t even be the top rated class in Iowa history.
Yes, all this-- added on to Deal this year, and Chastain the year after. Natttty. 😅
I can't find it, but one year she brought in 7 players from the first 1st, 2nd and 3rd team Parade All American classes including HS player of the year Tiffany Gooden. I think Tia Jackson might have been one and a center who played several years in the WNBA, Smith?. They didn't rate them by numbers back then, just HS All American classes as far as I remember. There were 10 players on each team as I recall, so that would have been 7 top 30 players.
That 1994 class had these 7 players: Nadine Domond, Tiffany Gooden, Angela Hamblin, Shannon Perry, Tangela Smith, Malikah Willis and Tamicha Kirby. Smith made first team All Big Ten her last two years. Domond, Gooden and Hamblin made second team.

Shannon Perry-LeBeauf is an assistant coach at UCLA. Tangela Smith is an assistant Coach at Northwestern.
I remember playing in a pickup game at the field house in the fall of ‘94. Tangela Smith was running with us average guys. She held her own. Not sure that she could dunk, but she could touch the rim with ease.FRESH(MAN) LOOK AT IOWA

Thanks, Tia Jackson must have been a different class. I haven't checked but she was an assistant somewhere, not sure now.
