The Hawkeyes have officially signed the largest trio in program history: Bjorn, Lewis, and Woliczko. The recruiting haul of the decade has just come to pass, so Iowa fans might want to settle in for this one. With the official commitments of five-star phenoms Addison Bjorn, Aaliyah Lewis, and McKenna Woliczko to the Iowa Hawkeyes, this class is immediately the most prestigious in program history.
The rumors had been growing for weeks. There were vague tweets, rumors, and even a few sightings on campus. It’s no longer a dream, though. It’s true. Three of the top recruits in the country were placed in the same class by Jan Jensen and her team, which some are referring to as a program-changing coup.
Within minutes of the announcement, a fan wrote on X, “This is the kind of day you remember forever.” “Iowa women’s basketball’s future was just cemented by Jan Jensen.”
Every participant contributes something unique. One of the top five prospects in the country, Bjorn is a powerful winger with a fluid scoring touch. Lewis is the type of player who transforms games on both ends of the court thanks to her explosive athleticism and lockdown defense. Woliczko, too? She can do the grunt work inside and stretch defenses because she is a versatile forward with a relentless motor. As a trio, they are instantly competitive with anyone in the nation.
The timing is perfect. Fans have been wondering who would continue Caitlin Clark’s illustrious career after Iowa’s recent run that garnered national attention. The answer is obvious with these three: the Hawkeyes aren’t going anywhere, and the future is bright. According to a longtime season ticket holder, “this class shows that Iowa isn’t just a one-era story.” “Jan Jensen is creating something that will endure.”
Videos of fans celebrating at tailgates and in dorm lounges went viral on social media within minutes of the news breaking. With Bjorn, Lewis, and Woliczko leading the charge toward another Final Four run, many are already envisioning sold-out Carver-Hawkeye Arena nights.
This haul is among the most remarkable in the nation, and possibly the greatest in Iowa history, according to recruiting analysts. The program already had a lot of buzz, but this commitment class could really make it take off. Hawkeye Nation has waited for this kind of moment, and now it’s here. The next chapter has been set. The future of black and gold appears to be unstoppable.
