A successful visit landed Jan Jensen and Iowa some more much-needed depth

It has been a tumultuous offseason for the Hawkeyes as they lost 64 percent of their roster from last season.

Four players graduated, including Hannah Stuelke, Jada Gyamfi, Kylie Feuerbach, and Taylor McCabe, and five players entered the transfer portal, headlined by former five-star prospect Addie Deal.

The mass exodus of players left multiple roster spots open before next season, and with only one prospect coming in via the 2026 recruiting class (McKenna Woliczko), Jan Jensen and Co. had some work to do.

Jan Jensen can hopefully tap into Jocelyn Faison's potential

The program added two talented transfers, Dani Carnegie and Amari Whiting, bringing the roster to eight, and recently received even better news as another Georgia transfer signed with the program.

After a forgettable freshman season with the Georgia Bulldogs, Jocelyn Faison is headed to Iowa City.

Faison was limited to 1.3 points and 1.4 rebounds in 7.8 minutes per game, but the former top-100 recruit has the tools to make an immediate impact if she is given a fair chance.

She has good size (six-foot-one) and athleticism, and was a top-100 recruit coming out of Langston Hughes High School in Douglasville, Georgia, for a reason.

Faison especially excels on the defensive end thanks to her athleticism, and she can play and guard multiple positions on the court.

She did not truly show what she is capable of on offense last season, but her jumpshot was a work in progress coming out of high school.

Jensen and her staff are hoping they can get Faison back to doing what she was doing her senior year of high school, and if they can unlock that potential, she could be a very valuable asset moving forward.
