Sharon Goodman (Crestwood 2020) had 24 points and 11 reb in her opener. She made 11-14 shots.
Shateah Wetering (Montezuma 2020) had 20 points and 5 rebounds in her game. It appears she is transitioning to more perimeter play. She shot 6 threes, and made 3.

Does Iowa have any post prospects for next years class? With Megan and Hannah graduating it seems we'll be thin at the post with only Monika and Paula coming back.
 
No true posts beside Monika and Paula, but they have some forwards that rebound well in Amanda ar 6-1, Logan at 6-1, and Makenna Warnock coming in at 6-2.
Unless some kind of transfer or late add happens it will be Monika in the post. Lisa referred to her as "our future" in the post.

Shateah Wetering had 25 points (including 4-7 from three) in a close loss to #10 North Linn at Rivalry Week.
Gabbie Marshall had 7 points in her opening game against #8 nationally Africentric. Lost 60-55. This was a Journey to the Tourney event. In the second game MND won over Toledo ND and Gabbie was named player of the game.
Mount Notre Dame has one of the top 2022 (FR) players in the country, KK Bransford. Bransford had 29 in the first gam.

Since the Whitney Jennings scandal that was covered up by the University Iowa has not been able to get any top recruits. With this being Bluder's last year of her contract I believe she will be retiring at the end of this year.

Maybe we can get the guy that has those D1 daughters. He was a coach back in the day.
 
Possible late add for 2019? Jelena Mitrovic, 6-9 from Serbia. Likely to be the tallest player in the competition and certainly a nightmare defensive assignment for any of her opponents, Mitrovic is an intriguing prospect and built in the 'old school basketball' mould. In the modern age, that doesn't mean she is a throwback or somehow lesser of a player than anyone else. The Serbian center offers a real traditional puzzle for those who have to stop her and guard her. Keeping her off the boards and from cleaning up put-back scores is a challenge and she has a nice touch and runs the floor well for her huge size. She could be dominant and knows at least one of the courts in Udine from when she shone two years ago, playing there at U16.

I know oakhawk knows more about women's basketball and Iowa's women basketball team that I will ever know, but Sharon Goodman is from Cresco (Crestwood High School) in Northern Iowa rather than Creston in S.W. Iowa. They are similar sized schools.
 
Thanks for the correction . Too many Crests.
Defending state champs Crestwood.:)
 
Recruiting for the 2019 and 2020 classes makes it seem like future teams will be more perimeter orientated offensively. Monika and Paula are the only pure posts for the 2019-2020 season as of now. We add Sharon for 2020-2021, but even then that's not a lot of post options.

Meanwhile both McKenna and Shateah seem tall and athletic enough to guard the opposing team's "4", while playing like wings offensively.
 
McKenna Warnock has been hitting the boards. In her last three games she has had 29,21, and 20 rebounds. Averaging 29.9 points and 14.6 reb on the season. Her team is 8-1.
Sharon Goodman's last game: 39 points and 21 rebounds.

    Monona Grove's McKenna Warnock, front, and Monroe's Sydney Mathiason, behind, compete for possession during the first half of Monroe's 60-59
  • Monona Grove senior McKenna Warnock surpassed the 2,000 points mark for her girls basketball career.

    Warnock scored 44 points in a victory over McFarland on Friday, giving her 2,009 career points, Monona Grove girls basketball coach Tyler Kuehl said.

    Warnock moved into 20th place on the state’s all-time scoring list for girls basketball, Kuehl said.

    Warnock passed Racine Park’s LaTonya Sims (2,005 points). In Warnock's sights are Jessica Kelliher of Waukesha North (19th with 2,012) and Jennah (Burkholder) Hartwig of Janesville Parker (18th with 2,033). Hartwig now is the Parker girls basketball coach.

    Warnock is averaging 31.7 points per game, which is second in the state.

    The 6-foot-2 Warnock, a University of Iowa commit, became the school’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder for girls and boys basketball last season.

I don't think she will be playing center. She seems more of a 3 to me. Excellent outside shooter.

In the above pic she sure resembles Flo!

If she doesn’t play center, we’re in trouble. Coaches obviously don’t have a lot of confidence in Monika at this point. Lisa probably won’t mind a 5 that can shoot 3s.
 
Saw a certain very tall girl at the game with some family, speaking an Eastern European language. Not sure if she is visiting just Iowa, or all her finalists.

If she had dark hair, she’s at Bluebird right now with all the coaches.
 
Good Recruiting Definition:

1) You successfully recruit and retain your best in state players to your program ✔️ 20 Points

2) You recruit players who fit your style of play ✔️ 20 Points

3) You recruit good kids that will represent your program well and succeed academically ✔️ 20 Points

4)You recruit and secure the top players from the best available areas closest to your program ... i.e Chicago and Detroit 5 Points

5)) You consistantky recruit top players that will make an impact on your program and be successful at the Big Ten Level 5 Points

So assuming the above and each area is equal to 20 points with a total score of 100 points possible I would give Fran a score of 70 points or a C-
