CJL recruited Eckerman very hard, and said after that year's signing day, "we have to keep the best Iowa players in the state." Eckerman was on the USA national junior team, and recruited by all of the powers, like Penn State, etc. ISU wanted her badly.

With the goal to be an elite program that can win national championships, you need players like Eckerman. What do you think, if Eckerman had come to ISU, would ISU be the national champ now?

With just her, probably not. That's why she went where she did, to play with several Top 10 players. However, you have to start with one, then bring in others to play with hat one.
