Having watched a lot of Iowa over the years, I'm much higher on her than I used to be, and it's not just the Caitlin effect.

I've always respected her as a person. She really runs the program in a way that fans can be proud of. But on the court, she's always been an excellent offensive coach, but their defense used to be just horrible. My dad and I used to joke that she and Fran McCaffery were meeting to exchange defensive strategy because they were both just awful. But the last two seasons has shown remarkable improvement. I'm not sure what changed, but it's night and day difference.

She got to the Elite 8 with Megan Gustafson a few years ago and now with the success with Caitlin, she has shown if she can get the elite players, she can do something with them. Even before Caitlin, Iowa has had very good fan support. Not sold out every game, but they are always up there in women's attendance. So it seems like now that people have seen the support Iowa will give the women's program, it might attract some of the better recruits. They've already signed the #12 player in the 2025 class all the way from California.
