IOWA CITY, Iowa — Two days after Iowa's Caitlin Clark was drafted with the first pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, the Hawkeyes found her successor in transfer point guard Lucy Olsen.
The 5-foot-9 guard averaged 23.3 points per game this past season at Villanova, a scoring average eclipsed only by Caitlin Clark (31.6) and JuJu Watkins (27.1) in all of Division 1. Olsen also logged 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game while shooting 44% from the field and 80% from the free throw line.
Olsen's commitment is a massive pick-up for Iowa, with the high-volume scorer set to replace Clark and help the Hawkeyes pursue another postseason run.
All 15 of Iowa's scholarships are now filled. Here's a look at the Hawkeyes' projected roster for the 2024-25 season:
