Must be from Chicago, based up on the "windy" emoji? Any insights from anyone on who this might be? Setter is my guess Would sure think that is highest priority for 2026.

This is exciting news! Is she from Serbia? The flag? Setting has seen a big upgrade with Ammaraal and Meitzler.

Welcome, Nikolija! You will look great in black and gold! Looks like very solid get for the Hawks. Not that rankings always mean a lot, but ranked #2 overall 2026 player in Illinois on Preg Dig. Hope some higher level hitters will want to be set by her and consider Iowa as well.

Have been watching some vids of Bulatovic. Impressive! Reminds me a bit of Brie Orr: maybe bit undersized for B1G, but made up for that with athleticism, solid setting, solid all-court skills and very much a gunslinger setting mentality. www.hudl.com/video/3/21264009/66507713fc3ee093d7405d81

When I saw the Serbia flag, I thought she was coming from there but she plays for 1st Alliance out of Chicago. Her family must be from Serbia. Really like the setter situation now at Iowa. Really strong group.

Agree about the setter situation drastically and quickly improving. Along that line, it will be interesting to see how things play out with Meitzler, given Ammeraal being around for two more years and then Bulatovic joining right after she leaves. Jenna is mighty talented in her own right as a setter! I do know she also provides versatility to be a hitter, if needed, too. Good "problem" to have to have someone of her caliber on the team...will just be interesting how things go with her, especially if she is not seeing the floor much for awhile.
On related recruiting note, would think we have to be looking at DS/L prospects for 2026 as well. If all plays out on track timeline-wise, believe we would only have Marquardt and Lombardi on 2026 roster in that capacity.

I always wonder who Iowa beat out for a player like this. Who else offered her?

I have a feeling I will regret even engaging here, but you are showing much interest in asking for a great level of detail about specifics here. I'm not necessarily seeing that in your post history related to inquiring about recruits who commit to other schools. Why specifically do you "always wonder" about Iowa recruits?

He asked this about Indiana to. It’s just a way for him to dis the school and recruit while knowing no one will share who else offered. I do know the 1st Alliance setter was very high on many list. Congrats to her and Iowa. Exactly. I asked becuase I wanted them to have to respond to explain themselves! But I know they never will. That's their kinda sad MO. I do not doubt at all she was high on many lists. I had read and heard same. Really great get for Iowa. Congrats all around, indeed! GO HAWKS!
