Sheplee's sister is Eliana Sheplee, a 2024 UNI WBB recruit. As you can see from this picture at Eliana's signing, Adaline (second from left) has a bit of a height advantage over her older sister Eliana (center).

In another thread, Macy Comito of Carlisle is mentioned as outstanding. Yet to see her mentioned here for 2026 let alone being a high prospect.

Nobody on the coaching staff is following her on Twitter or Instagram. I do see she has an offer from Marquette as well as from some high-level mid-majors (Drake, UWGB, South Dakota among others).

Can't wait to see her alongside Deal and Bourrage in Black and Gold. :puke:

I think Bourrage is probably going to one of the current blue bloods like SC if internet chatter is any measure. However ISU fans that only diss on Iowa because they are the in-state rival are probably missing how good the Iowa Classes for 2024 and 2025 look (via player rankings) and how 2026 might look. Landing the five star Addison Deal out of Cali is a HUGE get. I think they will be back battling for top of Big Ten in a couple of years. Gotta give Bluder recruiting props for making the most out of the PR Iowa has gotten from the Clark era and, to a lesser extent, the Gustafson POY time.

Fixed. Not sure how I made that mistake -- her Twitter bio clearly says WI.
Rice Lake, WI is just across the Mississippi from St. Paul. Maybe her AAU team was a MN team? No big deal.

UCLA and USC might have something to say about that, and don't count of Maryland.

True on the newbees and not counting anyone out or saying Iowa will win it but they will be in the mix. Top of the league is going to be strong. Both USC and UCLA, already good, have top HS recruits added for 2024 (seven top 60 recruits between the two of them!). On paper the only old school Big Ten team keeping up might be Iowa and Ohio State.

Unfortunately Iowa is going to be loaded. Only hope if Frau Bluder screws them up somehow.

Living in beautiful wild NW Wisconsin years back, I came to know the area quite well. My home was in Saint Croix Falls (south of Rice Lake) and I crossed the Saint Croix River to get to my Job in Saint Paul MN, not the mighty Mississippi. :)
