Kia Stoakes

Nothing new as of late. Saw her at a number of graduation parties, but decided it was probably not the best time to ask her of her decision. Brother DJ walking on at Iowa might help??
 
I would be very disappointed if she doesn't attend Iowa.
Say what you want but her dad is a dedicated Hawkeye,her brother is playing on the Men's team, her family lives close, lots of friends and teammates are there already and Bluder has done a good job with the tools she's had to work with. Bluder has a solid foundation for her to step into and maybe add one or two big timers during her years there and good things are going to happen.

Yeah, but sometimes this are some of the same reasons a kid might choose to venture out. It can become too comfortable doing what is "expected of you." I obviously don't know her, but she could just as easily pack her bags and head east ...

Oh I understand completely. I've spent alot of time around teenage girls who were going thru the recruitment process and listened to alot of conversations. Many of which left you really confused but most that are realistic about what they're doing figure out that they are likely not going pro in the sport and the real goal is to enjoy the participation, get a good education and get an advantage over most other people in the workforce when they graduaute.
 
Playing close to home so your folks and other family can attend all your home games is usually a pretty big draw for kids. It is no guarantee, but you have to think it is weighing heavy on her mind.
