Iowa Misses Five-Star Recruit, What's Next?

As of November 5, Hawkeye Insider David Eickholt logged an expert prediction that Lewis would be choosing Notre Dame. Ultimately, he improved to 3/3 on the year as his prediction came true. Lewis is the fourth member of the Fighting Irish's Class of 2026.

Iowa still has Woliczko to look forward to, but one could've only imagined what the power forward and shooting guard could've done together on the court. Woliczko, the No. 6 recruit in the Class of 2026, is rated slightly higher than Lewis who is No. 22.

That said, Lewis was the No. 1 player in IA and was the No. 4 shooting guard in the Class of '26. 247Sports Brandon Clay calls her, "one of the better spot up shooting options in the country."

Iowa Remains Active for Addison Bjorn

One of the main things Hawkeyes fans were hoping for was a five-star trifecta. After Lewis's visit a few weekends ago, things were trending in the right direction. Iowa had put themselves in the best position possible to land Lewis, and even though they offered three and a half months before the Fighting Irish, they were unable to finish the job.

Now, Iowa can put their best foot forward for Addison Bjorn. The five-star small forward stands 6'2'' and is the No. 9 ranked player in the Class of '26. She is no stranger to Woliczko, someone who's been trying to bring her to Iowa just as hard as Jensen.

While it seemed like a fever dream that Iowa could've landed all-three, Hawkeyes fans weren't delusional in thinking so. Jensen has done a stellar job with her recruiting thus far, and she'll earn another feather in her cap if Bjorn ends up choosing the Hawkeyes after her final visit in Kansas this weekend.
