Iowa women's basketball is on the board during transfer portal season, landing a major commitment from former Georgia guard Dani Carnegie.

The former Bulldog was a first-team All-SEC selection last season as Carnegie averaged 17.8 points per game on 42.7% field goal shooting, 35.4% from 3-point range, and 83.3% from the free-throw line. During her freshman season at Georgia Tech, Carnegie played alongside current Iowa guard Chit-Chat Wright and for now-Iowa assistant coach LaSondra Barrett.
