The 2026 recruiting cycle for Iowa Women's Basketball has been slow and steady.
Head Coach Jan Jensen and her staff have been actively recruiting for next year's class, but have not yet added any talent to their roster.
Five-star freshman Addie Deal joined the Hawkeyes squad this season and will be a building block for years to come, but as the 2026 recruiting cycle got deeper into the fall, it was surprising that the Hawkeyes had not signed a single player.
That all changed on Wednesday when one of the top players in the 2026 class committed to the Hawkeye program in what can be called one of the biggest signings in Iowa Women's Basketball history.
