**NEW** Iowa Women's Basketball Recruiting Thread

The above players are all real people and in that sense “legit”. What level of player each will be in 2027 and the extent of their interest in the Hawkeyes is in each 14 year old young lady’s hands. The balls will bounce many times before we have answers to your question. Hopefully they will play with Deal, Hayes and Greenway!

The hire of Henderson looks a bit like an heir apparent sort of idea. Do you think Jan is already planning her retirement? Or is Randi seeing this as an opportunity get to D1, as a chance to become a D1 head coach somewhere else?

Insightful post. Definitely an opportunity to prove her meddle, but that's all it is...an opportunity.

Jan just got the job, I highly doubt she is planning her retirement lol. Plus, there are other coaches that have been with the team much longer.

I think Randi is probably over the moon about this opportunity. To go from a D3 coach to now coaching at your Alma mater who came off back to back national championship appearances… couldn’t get much better than that. Also, if she does want to be a head coach again down the line, she will be able to be considered for way bigger jobs now.

Respectfully disagree. Randi took over a juggernaut DIII program at Wash U (her predecessor won 5 national championships, had 4 national runner-up finishes, had numerous other Sweet 16s or better, with 20+ conference championships). That predecessor was also a complete failure when she made the jump to D1 at Illinois. In Randi’s 6 years at Wash U, she won 1 conference championship, and had 1 good NCAA run (3 wins). IMO, that is hardly the background of a coach ready to get a D1 or BIG head job.

Randi arguably was more successful coaching at Coe College compared to Wash U. Either way, she is a very good coach and a great hire for the Hawks. Wonder what Duez is doing currently?
 
Randi must have played post at Iowa. Saw a picture of he standing next to Duez, he is 6'6". She looked to be 6'2".

In Duez's resignation notice, it said he was going back into medical supply sales.

Sounds like Randi is a solid hire.

She was a heck of a player on Bluder's first team playing next to a freshman Jennie Lillis in the post. Consuegra and Meder were a pretty dang good guard combo too. Bluder did not inherit a bare cupboard when Angie Lee resigned which is why they finished 2nd in the conference, winning the tournament title that season. AP #16 at the end of the year.

She was a very good player, but sadly I always remember her multiple missed shots at the (layups) rim. She's been pretty successful as a coach so I'm glad she was hired.
