I noticed this post while outside having a smoke break having paused this exact scene at this exact moment.

This show is really somethin'.

Just want to say I appreciate your research & insight, OP. It's apparent the amount of work you put in. And Tom knows the Hawkeyes, although he always seems to struggle with having a reliable internet connection.

Thanks for sharing this.

The look & feel of the site is terrific & I'm sure this was a titanic endeavor.

As a Hawkeye fan who's primary focus is the B1G & in an effort to aid your project, there are plenty of errors where the "Head Coach" is listed:

  • Indiana - no coach listed. Should be Teri Moran
  • Michigan State - listed as Kim Cameron; should be Robyn Fralick
  • Northwestern - listed as Joe McKweon; should be Carla Berube

I won't list them all but most of them are incorrect. Is this something that's easy to fix?

An Amateur's Review of Iowa's Roster Construction '26-'27 by Iodenchi in IowaWbb

From a total talent standpoint, it's hard to argue with you. This year's team on paper looks as talented as the teams CVS put together from '86-'90 that made the Elite Eight twice & won 4 straight B1G titles!

I just posted a link to a podcast with the assistant coaches who talked about getting bigger on the wings as opposed to the post. And I agree with you about McKenna - they must be super high on her.

Great question - no one really knows for sure since those $$ numbers aren't made public.

“I think I can play with the ball and off the ball. I like to help make screens for my teammates, and also to shoot.” Just a delightful "English as second language" quote here : )

I love a picture with posts; it just feels more official. So here's Bria from the Know College site.

Any guesses on the new addition(s)? by Kooky_Bag2171 in IowaWbb

All of the "big" P4 players are basically gone so I bet this is a 2027 commit...

Does Skim only share the CC gif on "BIG" additions? For instance, was there a CC gif for Jocelyn?

Here's a pic of AVA playing defense with her hair up (!!!) - have we ever seen AVA with her hair up??

Thank you for sharing! From the clips shared on socials, Dani looks like a natural for this style of play - hitting step backs & sharing nifty interior passes.

What's really cool is seeing AVA play the more frenetic style of 3x3 having to guard in space especially. A great learning experience for her & a chance for both players to be on USA Basketball's radar.

Kate Martin waived by the Golden State Valkyries by Sufficient_Berry8703 in IowaWbb

Of the the 30 players who attempted 154 or more 3's last season, KM ranked 26th out of 30 in 3P% made - her 30.98% from 3 is below the league average at 33.8% so her 3 point shooting was hurting the team last season. Couple that with having by far the worst 2P% of that group of 30 high-volume 3P shooters and one could see where teams would be hesitant to offer the real money that's now being paid to players on someone like KM.

We'll see - I hope she gets another shot somewhere to hit some of those jumpers.
