Iowa commit Addie Deal, on why she chose Iowa and how long she's been a fan

[@brianz367]

She's so mature and really likable. Her personality will definitely be a great fit for the iowa culture! Can't wait!

[@conormccaffery5821]

Crazy mature. So hard to believe this is a high school kid.

[@denniskaramitros216]

Can't wait for her to get to Iowa. She'll love the fan support

[@dancers915]

She is gonna be fun to watch. Lots of great teammates that will be tough to beat. Go Hawkeyes!!!

[@DanJohnson-fw2qx1975]

So excited to see her play

[@richardhayman4868]

Have a great season, Addie! We're looking forward to having you as a Hawk. Go Hawks!!

[@dbarnes544]

The Iowa culture will totally win her over. The fans, the university, the coaches will be unlike anyplace else. There's a reason so few players transfer from Iowa. That moment when she walks into Carver and hears the 15,000 fans is going to be unlike anything she's seen.

[@medmuscle]

The Hawks are loading up for another big run in 2 or 3 years. I can't wait to watch Addie and the other recruits grow.

[@johnraymond9170]

Addie, can’t wait to watch you play for the black and gold. Good luck this year, be safe. You are going to be a star, and I mean a huge star here.

[@X3bands]

Welcome Addie!

[@canoneos10]

I'm so excited to cheer on Addie with the Hawkeyes next year. She is impressive on and off the court. She expresses the joy of basketball with a perfect mix of confidence, humility and fun. Swish! Deal for three! 👏👏👏👏 Go Hawks!

[@michaelshepardson8436]

Sounds like she is a natural Hawkeye 🙂

[@AcesAngels]

She's gonna be so fun to watch and support starting next season.

[@djamellallouti2035]

Talk about the Clark effect, all these 4 and 5 star recruits signing with IOWA!

[@remproperties3560]

LOVE this interview! She’s fantastic! What a lovely young woman. I can’t believe she’s been watching Iowa for years! So cool her brother plays at Grinnell! She’s going to fit in great. Good timing too with Lucy graduating after this season to a strong point guard to join the squad. 🖤💛

[@Kitishere12]

Really excited for you to be a hawk. I've watched your highlights and I think you're a perfect fit. Your aggressive play style is what we do in the yellow n black. Go hawks

[@cathyberke]

Can’t wait to watch you Addie!!

[@johnhollar6001]

Can't wait to see you in a Hawk uniform. As a long time fan of Iowa woman's basketball, I'm so excited about the future.

[@NolaDrake-d7j]

Great interview!! Can't wait to watch you play, Addie!! Welcome to Iowa!!🖤💛🖤💛🔥🏀

[@craigandresen1480]

Can't wait to see her play in a Hawks jersey. Great recruiting class coming in.

[@varj7]

Looking forward to watching Addie when she comes to Iowa. The team this year is so fun to watch and I’m sure she’ll fit right in. The program there is smazing and they seem to develop these young women so well.

[@Joaquin-227]

With Olson gone next season, Ms. Deal with have opportunities to develop into a great one.

[@davidbrady1825]

Is there any way Olson can get another year?

[@anilles2001]

@@davidbrady1825 If Olson decides to use her covid free year, she could possibly return for another season.

[@anilles2001]

Olson has the choice to stay for another season if she wants to use her covid year (additional year). I doubt she stays but there is always that chance.

[@denniskaramitros216]

That would be so awesome if she comes back

[@anilles2001]

@@denniskaramitros216 Agree 100%. She would be a great role model for Addie Deal next year, yet, I thought I had watched an interview where Lucy acted like this was her last (and only year) at Iowa because of graduation.

[@joeykremple]

What a lovely and engaging young woman. She is eagerly anticipated in Iowa City

[@WeylanYutani]

That's a Hawkeye! ^ Go, Addie!

[@enginework1733]

Welcome to the Hawks!

[@anilles2001]

She'll be a great Hawkeye! With her and the rest of the incoming freshman, along with this year's group, this Iowa team will be loaded for the next 6 years. Go Hawks!!

[@stevephelps4289]

Addie the Real Deal go hawks

[@professionalsteve]

Very poised and articulate. You can see why she chose Iowa, it seems like a great natural fit!

[@kurtjohnson4816]

Impressive person! So glad she chose the Hawks.

[@paolobianconi495]

Thanks to the GOAT now there are many players who want to reach the Hawks.

[@craftymystic4868]

Welcome, Addie, welcome…..❤

[@Saywhat-109]

I seen the iowa vs tennessi match now. Iowa got choke in 4th quarter so sad:( Better luck next time my love iowa team❤❤❤

[@williamkrejca4641]

Another recruit who is a good person, smart, should be great!!!!

[@WhatIsaysGoes]

Let's GO Deal!!!!!

[@DSMIAJack]

Shoutout her trainer. Guy/gal knows ball

[@robertlane5474]

Addie, very quickly, will make a huge contribution to Iowa’s 2025/2026 team. We watched her play 6 games with her Cal Stars team in Seattle and Portland during summer of 2024!

[@wekern5]

She is very poised for a HS kid. After her WNBA career, I can see her as a TV commentator/analyst.

[@sheilamclaughlin963]

They’ll make some noise this year!

[@davidtran6382]

Go Addie

[@paulsolar7703]

Go Hawks

[@WhatIsaysGoes]

West Coast Hooper!!!!!!!!

[@JakeLeidahl]

💛🖤💛🖤

[@raygrant9768]

Just be yourself GO HAWKS

[@WhatIsaysGoes]

Go Hawks!!!!!!

[@ricardosalazar5743]

I think they should try to go after Aaliyah Chavez. Latino Parents like a good education for their Children and Iowa has a good school program. Just offer her the best deal.

[@robertmaloney567]

Iowa is about to be the next powerhouse. They pack the building and can afford to pay "student athletes". Its all about the $ now. Its great for competition. UCONN wont be hogging all the talent anymore.

[@brgilbert2]

[robertmaloney567] And I thought Universities were part of the education system. Biblically, oh yea!! "Money is the root of all evil". Can't imagine why anyone would even consider that!!

[@NolanHawkeyeAnthony]

Recording this on your couch?

[@NolanHawkeyeAnthony]

California is backwards from D1 to D6, 1 being biggest and 6 being smaller. Yes there is an open Division. Usually, Christian schools and top programs compete in the open division regardless of school size.

[@pjw1016]

Buy a goose down coat Addie…850 fill.

[@youtubesucks7384]

Someone really blew the headline not using “the next big deal”
