Not sure how tall Mallegni is but she can really shoot.Seems like Kussow might be a welcome player, but we really do need more headway with with players with some size. Another big post, a 6"3'ish PF, and a 6'1, 6'2 athletic wing. We seem to have a plethora of guards under 6ft, both on the squad, and in recruit. Looks like Mallegni is actually around 5'11", not the 6'1" listed. Fandel, i.e. may be a couple inches shorter than advertised.
I do strongly agree that we need size. Bigs should be the top priority for Jan, IMO. Either Hays or Krstevski would be my top choices for our next commit of any kind. For them to sign tho, they’d need to be okay with the possibility of coming off the bench behind Heiden (tho that’s not a sure thing). At least they would have to be okay with averaging closer to 20 minutes than 40.Seems like Kussow might be a welcome player, but we really do need more headway with with players with some size.

I firmly agree and I think she is smart enough to know what people are saying about her. I believe she made the right call at the right time. We may lose some recruits (McGaughy comes to mind) but I think it was best to rip the bandaid when she was at her peak. Jan can start fresh with new kids and avoid accusations about longevity. Her short tenure will also help cushion the fallout from bumps on the road. Bluder would inevitably be ripped to shreds on social for losing any number of games. Jan will be given more grace, and a successful season will seem much more impressive.Wondering if Bluder's retirement may help with Greenway and some of the other 2026 recruits. I'm sure that Bluder's age was being used against Iowa in recruiting, telling players that Lisa would retire during their playing years.
With Jan taking over, that issue goes away.
This upcoming season is a huge year recruiting wise. If Iowa can be a host site again in the NCAA tourney, then the top recruits will keep Iowa on their radar
I wouldn't read that much into it without an offer. I think it would be similar to the Koupal situation where the staff is clearly interested, but waiting on another target first. If an offer comes after the visit, then that might be more of a sign.Interesting...would this indicate the staff isn't feeling like they're in a good spot with current guard offers? They've been following her for a few weeks.
I think the offer will happen on the visit, assuming both sides think it would be a good fit. I do think this means that a 25 combo guard is unlikely.I wouldn't read that much into it without an offer.

I recall when McCabe committed she said the coaches told her (and presumably others) they were only taking 1 more commit in the class and it would go to whoever committed first.
Since then, I've presumed anyone that gets an offer is a priority target and anyone that visits without an offer is a secondary target.
