What a week it’s already been for Hawkeye athletics. Jan Jensen is the new women’s basketball coach, Lisa Bluder announced her retirement, and Caitlin Clark made her WNBA debut.
Yes, it makes sense that the Hawkeyes’ women’s basketball team made most of the headlines, but men’s basketball has also been playing.
In addition, Kirk Ferentz straightened up his quarterback depth chart and took a peek at the Transfer Portal once more.
I am quite fortunate. I am ecstatic beyond measure. Jensen remarked, I’m just amazed that I get to stand here in this capacity today.
Many people could fill this position in this state and city, but I can assure you that no one has the same passion for this location as I do.
She also acknowledged Lisa Bluder, the Iowa coach she had worked with for the previous 24 years.
Jensen expressed her gratitude for all of your contributions to women’s basketball. You’ve had such a profound effect on it.
I would like to express my gratitude for your influence on me, for sort of being a part of the plan all those years ago, for believing in me, for preparing me, for helping me nurture this goal, and now for helping me to realize it. I adore you and I appreciate you.
