It doesn’t feel like it was all that long ago that the Iowa women’s basketball team took the nation by storm, marching all the way to the championship game against the LSU Tigers. Fast forward three months and “next year” is here. Iowa’s two basketball recruits have arrived on campus. Everyone associated with the women’s program knows the truly tragic story of Ava Jones. The Hawkeyes also brought in a guard in 5’9” point guard Kennise Johnson Etienne who may crack the rotation. Following and writing about this team the past number of years what stands out to me is the family atmosphere that exudes from the team.
