2026 Recruiting: Addison Bjorn

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.

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!!!

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⏳

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.

UConn is recruiting and has a good shot at the two best SGs in the country in 2027. Ivanna Wilson-Manyacka 6-1 and Haylen Ayers 6-0. Both are better than Robinson and Bjorn.

I think Sarah could easily play the 3 and provide that star power, plus Blanca also certainly has that potential as well. I personally have no worries about next year.
 
I dont really sweat recruiting this year.
As it stands UConn has 13 players for next year. If no one else comes, that leaves 2 slots for possible transfers.

In the current environment, I actually prefer to have at least 1 slot for transfers in case someone great/valuable becomes available.

With the Early Signing period for Div. I starting in 4 days (11/12 - 11/19), it looks like we will not need a verbal, but go directly to signing with UConn on Wednesday, 11/12/25. With Park Hill South H.S. in Central time, I would expect the "after school special" to be at 16:30 EDT.

Go Huskies!!!

It's Shane Laflin so it's legit. I doubt it will be UConn, however.

Agreed. If it’s anywhere but Iowa, I would be surprised. Especially after her parents put the Woliczko’s onto Iowa. But I’m still holding onto hope that it’s UConn.

I doubt it too. My question would be, has she already signed and this is just a public announcement or will she commit and wait to sign in the spring since the 19th is the final day of the signing period? On edit, she'll probably just sign on the 19th and announce the next day.
 
Kansas or Iowa. I have heard suggestions North Carolina may have a chance, but I would be pretty stunned.
