WBB recruiting for the future
- Thread starter cyberhawk
- Start date
Yes, Shatea Wetering for #4 seed Montezuma in class 1A. The least heralded of the four recruits but a very good athlete with potential but probably not right away. Clark's and Goodman's teams did not make it to state.
Here’s a 6 minute feature on Clark that’s worth checking out.

... and the largest home crowds in the B1G this season by a large margin. (Over 7100 average attendance for the season and nearly 8500 in B1G.)
Here is an older interview with Caitlin Clark after the IC City High game. Talks about why she chose Iowa, her game including defense & playing off the ball some...
2020 signee Shateah Wetering’s team (Montezuma) played in the state tourney today. Here’s a link to the replay. I haven’t watched it yet but it looks like they lost 51-46.
Shateah really improved her 3 point shot & overall game this year. With her teams new offense she didn't play in the post nearly as much as the last couple of years.
AJ made 18 field goals in her Division 2 district semifinal.

Thanks to cyber and all that add to the info on recruiting targets and future hawks
I'm impressed with Caitlin Clark's demeanor. Can't wait to see her in a Hawk uni.
Lauren Jensen had 12pts. as Lakeville North heads back to state.

Hoping for a recruit to commit from Minnesota.A must get down the Road. Keep them Centers coming.
A little more info please and does it seem to be happening soon?
She looks like a player that might not contribute for a few years. But she was really the only threat on her hs team.
A D-1 recruit playing 1A basketball should DOMINATE. And I wouldn't say the other team double teamed her.

The first thing I thought of after watching the game video was Shateah was the women's version of Cordell Pemsl. Has some quicks and is good around the basket. Shows speed running up and down the court.
I've watched more of the Iowa girl's tourney this year because I'm familiar with 3-4 teams... knowing some of the parents/grandparents.
The talent level seems really poor, for the most part. Offensively... most are horrendous. To me... the Union really watered down the State tourney when they decided to go to 5 classes. There simply aren't 40 teams deserving. Three classes would be adequate.
I know why they went to 5 classes, but the level of basketball has suffered.
I hope the DM chamber of commerce is happy because the play on the floor is downright ugly.

Cordell without the injuries is a very good player, so I'm encouraged
I'm not sure she was even the best player on the floor in that game. The pg from the other team was better, imo. She really forced shots driving into double teams and lost the ball numerous times.
Like I said... maybe she just had a bad game. It happens.
The good news for Iowa is that it almost certainly won't need Wetering to be a scorer. Clark, Warnock, and others will have that covered. If she can translate her athleticism into good defense, rebounding, and transition play, that's more than enough to earn minutes. Any offense she can develop would be a bonus.
Defense will definitely be Shateah's path to playing time, agreed. For those that recall former Hawk Bre Cera, Shateah will remind them of her. However Shateah has a higher ceiling & has good shooting form in place already. In high school, the opposing defense is designed to stop her & clog up driving lanes with a packed in zone but in college it will open up for her to show what she can really do.
Hart would be a good get, but she doesn’t improve the athleticism of the team, which is the glaring shortcoming of the Bluder roster. Adalia McKenzie, on the other hand, is the Minnesota recruit that would really help on the athleticism front. For the 2021 class to be the big upgrade that people hope for, it needs to include at least one of Hall, McKenzie, or Kampschroeder.
Halli Poock who made all tournament team is probably who he is referring to. Very impressive freshman but not very tall 5’5”
I've only watched Hart once, but she seemed decently athletic for a post. Certainly more athletic than Monika.
I agree. She would be a good addition. I’m just also hoping for some more non-post athleticism.
Given the quality of players still interested, I hope Iowa takes 2 more recruits in the 2021 class. That'd leave room for Hart and any of the players you mentioned.
Iowa could definitely use her height/length too. Especially once they get into the tourney and potentially face top 10 teams.
I've only watched Hart once also, and I came away thinking she is a ( big stiff ). That being said I would take here in a heart beat. She would take up space down low and make opposing players altar their shots and keep them from getting offensive rebounds. And we know how Jan can work wonders on post players. Last year when Iowa played Baylor I thought Cox was their best player. Than I watched them one game this year and thought she must have put on weight cause she just looked like a big stiff to me.
Another Freshmen ('23) to watch is Jenna Hopp (guard/wing) from Glenwood, Iowa. She plays for the Nebraska Attack AAU team & all of the Iowa schools along with Nebraska have watched her play. I don't think she's been offered yet but think its only a matter of time.
