US EditionFormer Five-Star Prospect Departs Iowa Women's Basketball Program After Freshman Season
Deal averaged 5.1 points in 34 games and made three starts, then said she wants to continue growing elsewhere after one season.
- On Monday, March 30, Iowa freshman guard Addie Deal announced she is entering the transfer portal, concluding her lone season with the Hawkeyes after arriving with significant expectations.
- Deal's freshman campaign featured flashes of potential, though she struggled to find consistent footing within one of women's college basketball's most visible programs, averaging 5.1 points per contest.
- During her 34-game season, the guard recorded a 20-point breakout against Ohio State but struggled during a West Coast swing, scoring three points over 38 total minutes in losses to USC and UCLA.
- Compounding the roster turnover, sophomore guard Callie Levin also announced her departure from the program on Monday, having appeared in 19 contests while averaging 5.9 minutes per game.
- Seeking to replenish the roster, the Hawkeyes must now utilize the transfer portal to add depth, with new additions joining incoming five-star freshman McKenna Woliczko to stabilize the rotation.
