After announcing her entry to the NCAA's transfer portal following an up-and-down freshman season with Iowa women's basketball, former five-star guard Addie Deal has announced her commitment to the Hawkeyes' rival Wisconsin for the upcoming 2026-27 season. The Irvine, Calif., product averaged 5.1 points, 1.6 assists, and 1.2 rebounds per game on 39.4% field goal shooting and 29.7% 3-point shooting, but could never seem to hit a consistent level of play that allowed her to reach her true potential with the Hawkeyes. Given the social media uproar over her initial entry into the transfer portal, Iowa fans have once again reignited their passionate opinions on the 6-foot guard as she heads to Madison, Wis., to play for the Badgers next season.
Man, she got some bad advice.
Hope she does well in all games except against Iowa.
