This is a name that has been pretty quiet on the recruiting front since she decommitted from Stanford. Hoping the Hawks get her as I'm pretty sure she has visited a few times. One of the top 28 recruits in the country right here in Iowa.

Father is all sorts of crazy, Lisa likely would not have taken her for that reason, but seems Jan might be willing to.

Seems dealing with over bearing Dad's is pretty much part of the job description anymore. I agree that Lisa likely would have avoided the potential headaches.

Can’t afford to back off any high value recruit IMO. I’m sure JJ has interacted with every type of parent on the normal-crazy spectrum. You set boundaries and enforce them. As long as all concerned understand, you live with the consequences.

I respectfully disagree. Iowa's #1 mantra revolves around community and respect of others before self. Unproven talent is a distant 2nd to these assets.

How do you know that Jhaliana does not respect others?

“unproven”?
I guess every recruit needs to prove themselves at the next level but JG is nationally ranked (also #1 in Iowa) and holds offers from more than a dozen major programs (including several B10 schools). It’s pretty clear she has proven her bb talent to the satisfaction of the evaluators.

Not questioning her talent; from what I've seen it's elite. My point is that isn't the only factor in determining whether or not someone is a good match for the program.

My red flag is the reports that she walked off the court during a game without informing her coach so she could leave for a recruiting visit to Texas.

I certainly agree. Your prior statement appeared to be more particular as to Guy.
