Totally agree with you! My $0.02 as a Badgers fan: A stronger Iowa is better for the whole Big Ten. And besides, these are just kids, they work hard, and we want to see them succeed.

Is there a posting here or somewhere as to what the fall Iowa roster should look like as of today? Having trouble keeping up. Thanks.

They have done a fantastic job of updating the roster on the official site. See link below. Not sure if this latest new addition is for 2022 or later but this accurately shows the 17 for this coming fall as of now, I believe. hawkeyesports.com/sports/wvball/roster/

Looks like she was named Iowa 1A Player of the Year last season...and this after switching from middle to OH due to an injury on her HS team. So, clearly brings versatility to the Hawks. And love that she thanks Mikaela Foecke (Richter)! Sure doesn't hurt to have someone of her caliber providing her with guidance and support, right? Congratulations, Gabriella! GO HAWKS!

Good info. Wonder how the former Nebraska player was helping her? She live in the same area?

Good info. Wonder how the former Nebraska player was helping her? She live in the same area? Yes, Mikaela is from West Point, IA (very close to Fort Madison) and I believe may live in that area again now. Think she assists with coaching her old high school team (Holy Trinity in Fort Madison). Gabriella's high school (Notre Dame) is in Burlington, IA, which is only about 20 miles away from Fort Madison. Interestingly enough, looks like those two teams played each other in the semi-finals of the 2021 Iowa State 1A Volleyball Tournament! Deery's message thanks Mikaela "with My Recruiting Assistant." Looks like that is an organization which provides assistance to high school athletes with the recruitment process so am assuming Mikaela may be involved with that organization in some way and must have worked with Gabriella. And if so, the geographic proximity sure may have played a part in them partnering. All just assumptions here, of course. I would think any high school student volleyball athlete would want to absorb anything an athlete of Mikaela's background would offer! Have heard nothing but amazing things about Mikaela, both on and off the court. Anyway, glad Gabriella is going to be a Hawk!

I believe Mikaela still works with My Recruiting Assistant. She was probably her hired recruiting assistant.

Is that the red hat lady business? No different but similar. My Recruiting Assistant also posted about the commitment so that is the relationship.
