I was curuious if anyone knew if Iowa had a real shot at her.

Also I assume she's the daughter of Greg Stokes. I know he's in town (I think coaching kirkwood)

She is his daughter, but there isnt much info on who she is considering for college. I think they have a chance with their young team and she also played with Jamie Printy, and obviously cause of her dad.

I for some unknown and unfounded feeling feel like she will be a Hawkeye. I still see the twin towers...great memories.

Bluder has certainly made every single effort to get Stokes into a Hawkeye uniform. It will not hurt that Iowa is going to be very very good next season.

Every major program is already on her, lets hope Lisa can keep her home.

Iowa has a shot

There are a number of MVC foes that are facing Kia right now, that will be with the Hawkeyes in the next few years, including Printy (former teammate), Jade Rodgers, and Virginia Johnson. I have heard that Printy is recruiting her pretty hard. Boy, it would be tough to take a pass on programs like Tennessee or UConn. Although, if she chooses the Hawks, she could be a four year starter. Maybe that will help the Hawks?

She needs to be a Hawkeye! Because she is a Hawkeye! It's in her blood.

Can you imagine, Stokes Jr representing the women and Marble Jr the men? Iowa basketball will rock like it hasn't since C Vivian Stringer and Dr Tom! Those teams were two of the top in the country, as close to the top in the country as you can get!

With these two players we will rock! I can feel it...

As someone who lives in the Linn-Mar district, I know Printy and even Rodgers from Kennedy are both good friends. She would be a HUGE get for Bluder. I loved the way the kids played this year, Stokes would be a home run.

If I(or my kids) had that level of talent and had an opportunity to stay close to home,play with friends and still compete at a very high level, there would be O chance I would go anywhere else.
I really think if either men's team in Iowa would have been playing to a Top 25 level, Harrison Barnes would not have left the state.

He didn't go to UNI though??????

I cant believe she would turn down UCONN.

I can't believe she'd pass up in state opportunity to compete as probably a Top 25 team and be the hero instead of a long way from home in a group of All American's. If winning a NC is the first goal then yes, otherwise having fun and competing at the top is very good too.
As I've said before each kid has to picture what level of success they are looking to achieve and go from there.

If she is anywhere close to friends and family, I can't believe she'd pass on the opportunity to play for Iowa. Iowa is a young and talented team, and she has to be able to realize that she could be a part of something special by staying at Iowa, or going out and losing out on that opportunity that playing at home would give you.

I've done the 'go far away for college', and it can be tough. It will be tough enough for her given the transition she'll go thru by entering college and playing a sport. Believe me.
