2026 Recruiting: Addison Bjorn

[Dillon77]

That's interesting since they would probably be competing against each other for PT at the same position(s). However, it makes some sense since this article indicates that Bjorn's father actually raved about Iowa's culture to Woliczko's dad and helped stimulate their interest in the program. I used Incognito Mode to read it.

There are a lot of stellar wings coming out in Class of 2026 that might -- initially -- be in each other's space. Still, a good place to be for schools offering multiple wings/tall guards, given the types of players being discussed.

In case you didn't see the visit dates behind the 247sports paywall:
She took her first official visit to North Carolina the weekend of Aug. 31-Sept. 2. She visited Notre Dame Sept. 18-21. Bjorn intends to visit Duke from Oct. 2-5, UConn from Oct. 16-19, Texas from Oct. 30-Nov. 2, and Kansas from Nov. 6-9.

So is she on campus this weekend?

Did she come to visit the campus? It's so quiet about that.

I just read a new article about Addison Bjorn on "University of
North Carolina Tar Heels on SI" It seems that SI thinks that
the TAR HEELS are still in the running. IOWA?? UNC??
UCONN??? QUO VADIS, Addison??

I mean it’s on her list and she took and official visit, but I wouldn’t put any relevance in anything SI “writes” these days

I read somewhere Bjorn signed with Iowa!

 

[Stagnant]

I don’t think it is official yet. But I definitely expect her to go there.

I don't see anything posted on their IG.

It would be strange if Bjorn had signed with Iowa and she continued to make visits. Apparently, Bjorn and Jerzy visited UConn over the weekend.

 

[uconnever]

I don’t think it is official yet. But I definitely expect her to go there.

That would be a loss because her, Jerzey and Vukosa would be a great core for the time they are here and would guarantee probably at least one title during their time here. I wanted her the most.

.... and considering that Iowa hasn't even won their first yet it seems her best bet to win one is to sign with the Huskies (as we all know)!

If she's committed there's no announcement. Word has been she'd finish out her visits with a decision in November.

That's what I've read/heard. She's doing this in a thorough and deliberate manner and her last visit -- Kansas? -- isn't scheduled until early November, so it could be awhile for the other finalists and fans. She's worth the wait.

I like Talia. She is really working to promote the women’s game. And this is just her version of the crystal Ball predictions. Men’s side have several of these.

My 2 cents.

Watch out for Kansas and Bjorn. She is about a 30-40 minute road trip from her hometown to Lawerence Kansas. I can see her to ND or Iowa as well.

Crittendon has close connections to Colorado.

I agree with Lampley and Odom. I stated a bit ago that FSU could end up with 3 top 100 recruits. Keep an eye on that!

Jones—-NO CLUE. Hoping for Vanderbilt though!!!

The Vandy comment is about Olivia Jones not Bjorn.

 

[superfanwbb]

Talia Goodman predictions:

1- Olivia Vukosa to Uconn ✅

2- Lola Lampley to LSU ✅

3- Missy Odom to FSU ✅

4- Olivia Jones to Miami ❌ or Vandy ✅

5- Brihanna Crittendon to Tennessee or Colorado⏳

6- Addison Bjorn to Iowa or UNC⏳

Great- thank you...!

Oh-oh

As much as we'd all love to add Bjorn and Robinson, the not-so-worse-case scenario is that our team has depth at both G and F positions that should be more than adequate if they sign elsewhere. Other posters have said that Geno can tap into the transfer portal as needed - certainly there are players who would love to contend for a title who don't see it happening on the team they're currently on, not to mention getting a season or two of UConn as a finishing school for the W.

Two years ago we essentially made the Final Four with an eight-player roster and a six-player rotation. We have eight G & F players for the next two seasons including Strong, Patterson, Cheli, Heckel, Quinoñez, Fisher, Brady and Ziebell so we will be ok with a smaller roster (barring injuries) when the 2026 class matriculates.

UConn is a special place for WBB players that isn't for everyone. Bjorn and Robinson have to want the challenge of being part of the Huskies 40-year legacy, earning their place on the wall and winning a championship or two while they're here.

Or hope to accomplish that somewhere else.

I think we have quality depth at guard, but the search for improving the team is more one of finding a guard star. We had two last year in Paige and Azzi, and one this year, but next year is a bunch of pretty to very good players, but probably no big time stars. Upfront we could have two with the Big O and Sarah, and this year we likely have two with Sarah and Serah, so the relative strength of the team may have shifted from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
