I talked to a ref friend who was at scrimmage and they said the best Leftside hitter for Iowa was the transfer Urquhart. She was more terminal than all the others and played 6 rotations really well. So looks like this Tulane player is making an impact. The biggest change was how well Iowa ran middle. Jones dominated the scrimmage and Ortega set well. Now this is a reliable evaluation…

OH Nia Washington commits to Iowa for fall of 2022! Had been previously committed to Tulane. Quick review of background shows her as two-time Louisiana Division V player of the year and two-time MVP of Louisiana state volleyball tournament on state championship teams. Welcome, Nia! Can't wait to see you on the court in Iowa uniform! GO HAWKS! http://instagr.am/p/Cblyu8ytX2q

Was thinking next addition would be a DS/L. Info on Darling at Niagara: - In 2021, Darling averaged 5.55 digs per set, which led the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and ranked fifth in the NCAA. - Darling was named the MAAC Rookie of the Year and the MAAC Libero of the Year as a freshman. She earned All-MAAC Second Team honors and again was recognized as the MAAC Libero of the Year as a sophomore. Congratulations and welcome, Amanda! With the addition of Darling and Washington, I believe that makes 16 for this fall's roster. Obviously, things could change prior to then. Optimistic about the 2022 team. GO HAWKS! Darling highlights:

Gotta give it to the Iowa staff! Very efficient at recruiting in such a short window of time. Almost 30% of the players and coaches are from Tulane. No one will follow who they don’t like so that’s a good sign, I guess??? What’s going to be the B1G preseason rank for Iowa?

True. But if I’m counting correctly the roster, at its lowest number, was 6. Now at 17. Only 2 players played at Tulane. No idea who the 17th player is. But yes the staff is on fast forward. Yale and Marsellis are the assistants and must have a million frequent flyer miles by now.

I believe any Big Ten coaches can lure players from their former school and attract athletes from mid to low major programs. Did the Hawks gain more than they lost in regard to athletes who can win in the B1G?

Did the Hawks gain more than they lost in regard to athletes who can win in the B1G? Now that’s the question. Lost Buzzerio, Clayton, Slagle who all transferred to P5 teams. Roster looks more talented top to bottom now but they only play with 6 on the court. Don’t think they are nearly as talented as last year. And they won 6 matches. But I still think significant progress has been made from where they began.

This makes the 16th player. The other post said 17. So still have 1 more.
There are some impressive videos on Washington online.
