I wonder if this strong season and BTT finals appearance is helping on the recruiting trail. Seems like it has to.
2027 Recruiting
- Thread starter Hawkangler
- Start date
Money is a big part, but if what you said were true we'd have gotten a couple more players with Mckenna
Peacock is about as worthless as teats on a boar. I opened it for the St Johns/Seaton Hall game and it took half an hour of starting and freezing before it finally started working correctly.
You do realize that teats on a boar do serve a purpose, they can determine litter size from a gilt or sow. just saying.
Thought I would update with possible prospects for 2027 and portal needs. If nobody hits the portal, we have four open slots. I would expect Jan to bring in two from the portal to replace Kylie and Taylor's skillsets.
We would probably have two if not three spots the following year with #41 Jada Seubert CG committed. My hope is #32/#35 Destiny Manyawu a 6'3" PF/C, very athletic and # 46 Mya Wilson a 6'1" CG/SF.
#10 Nation Williams or #1 Kaleena Smith are long shots. Have not heard much about Madi Mingery or Harper Dunn so very unlikely.
CG Brinley Altenburg and #42 F/C Addison Medeck could also be in play.
Hope the women have a strong post season to keep the talent level coming to Iowa City.

I think her dad is clout chasing, but Iowa may be talking to her and that's why the family is hyping it up so much. She is a great shooter though
Portal moves backing up Chit-Chat will likely sway things that happen recruiting at PG. Only way Iowa (or most schools) get much movement from high school recruiting is if they are pushing their hand with leverage from (potential) portal moves. Otherwise, seems most recruits want to see next season's roster before making their own considerations.
*You have to remember that most high profile recruits have agents in the mix. Contracts, guarantees, incentives, etc.
The thing to be looking for at the moment, is what upperclassmen PGs might want to jump to Iowa for (probably) limited/reduced minutes. Or maybe Jensen stays with her current hand next season. Hard to know until things start happening after Iowa's tournament run comes to an end.

No offer for Stalwart that I know of. Seubert and Altenburg are both taller, have great handles and can shoot from the perimeter.
Jan Jensen is trendy toward more lengthy, bigger guards. She's going after guards in the range of 5"10-6"2.
Exactly why she went out and got Chit Chat.
Thank you for setting everyone straight.
Kaleena Smith is Kaleena Smith though. Too hard to not go hard after.
Chit Chat is already on the team so maybe it's possible, with some exceptions, Jan is going after bigger guards, which I assume means off guards as well as point guards. Just a thought.
'28 PG offered is 5'8 (Leah DeWitt). Just too good for it to matter. Don't think height is a big concern for primary ball handlers. Of course though, I'm sure they would like height when they can get it.
That's a little short sighted in the portal era. We didn't land Greenway or Harpring either BUT my bet is we'd take them in a heartbeat if they gave Jan a jingle......
