Looking pretty in Carolina Blue.
Hope she wears it for 4 great years in Chapel Hill.

 

[Jriv23]

The Carolina blue looks good on you. I hope you will consider playing with Kate for four years.

 

[CCHeel1]

I keep checking to see if good news has been delivered by Addison. I sure hope she chooses the Heels. That color looks great on her.

'26 five-star forward Addison Bjorn sets Iowa official visit date

HawkeyeReport caught up with '26 five-star forward Addison Bjorn to discuss her upcoming official visit to Iowa.

[23UNC]

I hope we can pull her away from Iowa. She is about 4 1/2 hours away from their campus and she plays AAU for Iowa Attack.

 

[tarboy]

I think Addison looks like a Carolina Girl. I sure hope she thinks so too.

Thinking the exact same thing.

 

[KenbudUNC]

2026 WBB prospect Joyce Isi Etute, 6-1 C, IMG Academy (Bradenton, FL) / hometown: Dudelange, Luxembourg, is on an official visit to North Carolina

Saw this on X from Raoul

 

[KenbudUNC]

Here’s a photo from her visit

 

[tarboy]

Etute would be a good get. Coach CB is doing a great job of getting talented players on campus.

 

[Jriv23]

I agree. Hopefully we can land a few. Keep my fingers crossed. Go Heels!

 

[tarboy]

I was hoping Addison Bjorn would have committed to us by now.
I cannot wait to start getting some tidbits of information about practice/pickup play.
I am ready for the season to get going Lol.

 

[CCHeel1]

I think Addison is on an OV to hometown Iowa this weekend. I hope she makes it out uncommitted. If she does, I would expect a decision some time soon, no matter who it may be. Hope it's the Heels!

 

[KenbudUNC]

Bjorn is actually from Missouri. She plays EYBL for the All Iowa Attack.

 

[tarboy]

Seems I read Addison is 4.5 miles by car from Iowa's campus.

Good to know. Saw the EYBL connection and assumed Iowa. Still, it's closer to home for her. She does look like a Heel to me.

 

[23UNC]

Seems I read Addison is 4.5 miles by car from Iowa's campus.

She is 4 1/2 hours from the Iowa campus.

Her older brother plays football for Iowa St.

She has a twin brother who is a 2026 baseball player. Uncommitted.

 

[tarboy]

My bad I meant 4.5 hours away. Sr. moment Lol. Thanks for correcting my bad 23UNC.
Thanks for the other information.

 

[HeelOne]

Let’s get brother on the diamond Heels squad!

She is 4 1/2 hours from the Iowa campus.

Her older brother plays football for Iowa St.

She has a twin brother who is a 2026 baseball player. Uncommitted.

 

[Carolina151]

Top 2026 recruit Addison Bjorn narrows to seven finalists

Top 2026 recruit Addison Bjorn has narrowed her list to seven finalists. The 6-foot-2 guard is considering Duke, UNC, UConn, Kansas, Iowa, ND and Texas.

[Jriv23]

Tarboy I agree with you. I hope not Duke.

 

[KenbudUNC]

very pedestrian words about us in the On3 article. My hopes have waned.

I wouldn't put too much into these little blurbs... "watch what they do, not what they say". But agree it wasn't the most encouraging blurb.

 

[KenbudUNC]

PG Aaliah Spaight to Texas.

Will be interesting to see if LSU re-enters the picture for Fleary now.

 

[Jriv23]

If I were Fleary, I would have a problem with LSU trying to come back in the picture now since since they originally drop her or stop their pursuit of her because they put all of the apples trying to get Spaight. They kind of burn their bridge we they stop pursuing her IMO.

In today's college recruiting...bridges can be repaired quickly by flashing the money.

 

[Jriv23]

Money cannot solve everything. Also, I just looked at LSU's roster for this coming season they are loaded at the guard spot. The only senior is Flau'Jae Johnson. I think people forget that MiLaysia Fulwiley from South Carolina just transferred there this year. She will still be there next year along with the other guards. We all know that she should have been starting last year.

 

[tarboy]

Money helps, playing time helps, style of play helps, relationships help, college rankings and campus help.
So many factors to consider.

 

[the night owl]

Y'all are doing well in recruiting and so is Clemson. It looks like the ACC is attracting a lot of high level talent.
