Ohio State knows how to use sisters to recruit. Last year they got Kennedy Cambridge to transfer from Kentucky. She was just a deep bench option this past season, but it allowed them to land her sister Jaloni who's the top point guard in this year's recruiting class (#3 overall). I think the Buckeyes have done a pretty good job of reloading with Cambridge and transfers Ajae Petty (post player from Kentucky) and Chance Gray (3-pt specialist from Oregon) to go along with returning starters Cotie McMahon and Taylor Thiery. I'm also interested to see how many minutes Diana Collins gets, as she was a top 100 recruit last year but her role never really developed and now they're really deep in the backcourt (they also still have senior point guard Madison Greene, who's an outstanding defender but her shooting has been a mess since returning from two knee injuries).

I think Iowa is still in for a rude awakening. Not only do they need to replace every significant contributor besides Steulke and Affolter, but USC and UCLA are going to immediately make the conference a lot harder. Some B1G teams started scheduling them this past season, but Iowa didn't play any of the incoming members.
