Seems like you're hedging your bets there. Perhaps a "While..." to start the sentence? ;)

On the other, I have no reservations about Bjorn's ability to play at UConn and/or Iowa or Notre Dame (the latter two schools are also in the mix last I read.). She's going to be a huckuva wing for someone at the collegiate level.

Kansas is the big odd ball in her final 7, but she's from KC, so it's the closest-to-home option. Still, if I didnt want to be too far I'd take 5- hour Iowa over 1-hour Kansas any day.

I think her description of her own game is very good and accurate. One reason I like her perhaps even more than Jerzy is I am pretty sure she could fit in with many different combinations of players, and make others better. It is hard to project her at a specific position vs. what we will have returning, but easy to believe that her versatility and all around play will give Geno a reason to play her at multiple positions and be a valuable part of the rotation if she comes here.

I don’t think she’s as gifted a facilitator as Morgan, but their play styles and builds are very similar. Addison might even be a better shooter at this point.

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.

Now that McKenna Woliczko has committed to Iowa, do you think Addison has lost interest in going there, since they're both wings?
 
Some (in the know) have said for several months that UConn is the leader. I don't know if that is still true. Could be a UConn v Kansas battle, which may be a first in WBB.

The CA player (Woliczko) who just committed to Iowa is trying to recruit Bjorn and others to join her in Iowa City.

Interesting update on McKenna W doing some IOWA recruiting. I'm
still thinking Geno may get O. Vukoso, A. Bjorn, and Jerzy Robinson. I
wrote a P.S. to one of my thread notes about 2026 recruit the Sara Okeke. Sara Okeke is a talent (Sara is 193 cm = 6'4"), and better than
the French lady: Alicia Tournebize (194 cm). IMHO. These are two
options being discussed if Olivia (somehow???) goes elsewhere.

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.

What I like about Bjorn's game a lot is her willingness and ability to play lock-down defense on any position from 1 to 4.
She's spectacular on the downhill attack and probably helps cause a number of those situations with her on-ball defense. For a coach/team that values that, she's top rank.

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.

So is she on campus this weekend?

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