Bluder has done really well at Iowa with very little. I cannot imagine how good the team will be if she starts landing some of the top recruits.

What are we defining as little. She has done a better job recruiting than Bill Fennelly has done at ISU. Bluder has this program moving up.

I think she's a pretty damn good coach. Last season started out rough because of injuries and inexperience. And women's basketball is not like the men's version. When a #9 seed meets a #1 in the women's tourney, there ain't gonna be no upset like there sometimes is in the men's tourney. That's how the #1's all make it to the Final Four seemingly every year.

I posted this before but it doesn't appear to have stuck. I'll try again.

Kiah announced she intended to go to Iowa on monday night, 9-20, at the National Council Youth Leadership banquet in CR at Coe College. I was there to see my duaghter, also a high school senior, receive an award. Greg is on the council and has been involved in this organization for years.

Every kid there had to go up to the podium and annouce what they intended to do after high school. The crowd errupted when Kiah said she intended to go to school at the University of Iowa. i'm surprised it wasn't covered already, or maybe I just haven't seen it.

Thanks for the update. Excellent news if it does indeed happen. Lisa really has her program going in the right direction.

Sweet, Bluder is a class act.

Here's the latest update ...

Stokes adds Iowa to official-visit list::Eastern Iowa High School Sports

FYI ... Lisa Bluder was at Linn Mar's volleyball practice yesterday. For those who don't know, Stokes is on LM's volleyball team. So, Iowa is still trying.

It was covered - she also mentioned in the same speech:

Earlier this fall, she had a little fun with her college choice. She announced at an event she was “going to Iowa,” which was met with cheers, then paused and added, “or Connecticut or Tennessee or Maryland or Georgia.”
