The Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball team has made a strategic move by signing Dani Carnegie, a talented guard transferring from the University of Georgia. After a strong performance in the 2025-26 season, Iowa was eliminated early in the NCAA Women's Tournament, prompting the coaching staff, led by Jan Jensen, to seek additional talent. Carnegie, ranked as the No. 3 player in the transfer portal by ESPN, averaged 17.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in her last season at Georgia. Her ability to score and create plays is expected to significantly enhance Iowa's backcourt, especially after the departure of star player Caitlin Clark. Carnegie's transfer also reunites her with former teammate Chazadi Wright, potentially forming one of the strongest backcourts in the Big Ten for the upcoming season.
