Iowa women's basketball is on the board with this cycle's first transfer-portal addition.

IOWA CITY โ€” A transfer-portal pull from down south has the Iowa womenโ€™s basketball roster reconstruction off and running. The Hawkeyes have landed Georgia transfer Dani Carnegie, she announced April 11 on social media. The first-team all-SEC combo guard visited Iowa City the weekend of April 10 and will have two years of eligibility left with the Hawkeyes.

A strong sophomore season spent grinding away in the SEC, Carnegie averaged 17. 8 points, 5. 3 rebounds and 3.

2 assists per game in her lone season with the Bulldogs. The 5-foot-9 guard delivered 13 20-point outings and three double-doubles on a Georgia team that won 22 games and earned a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
