Prized Iowa women's basketball signee named to 2025 McDonald's All American Game roster
While the current Iowa women's basketball (13-7, 3-6 Big Ten) season has seen its trials and tribulations, the future just got a bit brighter as future Hawkeye guard Addie Deal was named to the 2025 McDonald's All American Game roster.
Deal becomes just the fourth Hawkeye to earn the impressive distinction out of high school, joining Caitlin Clark (2020), Samantha Logic (2011), and Johanna Solverson (2002).
The five-star recruit out of Mater Dei High School (Calif.) officially signed with the Hawkeyes in November, headlining Iowa's impressive 2025 recruiting class.
In early January, Deal surpassed 1,700 career points at the West Coast Jamboree. Deal now has more than 1,700 points, 600 rebounds, 400 assists, and 325 steals for her high school career.
The prized signee will be in Iowa City on Sunday alongside many high-ranking recruits to witness Caitlin Clark's jersey retirement ahead of the Hawkeyes clash vs. No. 4 USC.
The 48th annual McDonald's Girls High School All-American game will be played on April 1, 2025, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Sideline Video of Fever's Caitlin Clark Turns Heads Amid Injury Absence
Sideline Video of Fever's Caitlin Clark Turns Heads Amid Injury Absence originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Though the Indiana Fever were without star guard Caitlin Clark for the fourth straight game in Saturday's matchup with the Chicago Sky, but as it turns out, they didn't really need her. Advertisement The Fever ran away with a 79-52 win behind a 17-point performance from Kelsey Mitchell, plus 13 points from Natasha Howard and 12 points from Clark's replacement Aari McDonald as the team won its second straight game and pulled its record even at 4-4. And while Indiana didn't have the benefit of Clark's expertise on the court, she did assist in another, equally valuable way. X user @chrisclxrk posted a video of an animated Clark on the sideline coaching and firing up her teammates with the caption, 'Idc what she says this is a future head coach.' The video caught the attention of several Fever fans, many of whom hit the comment section to express their thoughts on Clark as a future head basketball coach. 'And they are dialed into what she is saying. They all know. She is the one. Look at DB nodding her head in agreement. They all know,' one fan noted. Advertisement '🤔At some point long down the road Caitlin and Kate (Martin) will be Head Coach and assistant head coach at Iowa 😳😜😎,' another fan stated. 'She literally has this Veteran Team nodding in Agreement with What she was saying!!! She inspires Confidence in her teammates & they Believe what she is saying cuz she is Proof that it can be done, so they Do!' a third fan exclaimed. 'THIS IS A LEADER OF A TEAM YAW, EVEN WHEN SHE NOT ON THE COURT 💪 #CoachCC,' one user replied. 'I love how she's feels more comfortable being the voice in the locker room,' remarked another user.

Advertisement There is some cautious optimism that Clark could be ready for the team's matchup against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday. 'I think we're trying not to put an exact date out there because it is kind of a day-by-day thing and seeing how I feel,' Clark noted. 'With this type of injury, you don't know if I'll feel different than the day before and we'll see. It could be a possibility [to play against Atlanta] but I could also not be able to play in that game too.'

Caitlin Clark Praised for Behavior Before Fever-Sky Rematch
Caitlin Clark Praised for Behavior Before Fever-Sky Rematch originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Saturday night could be a critical time for the Indiana Fever, not only because theyb have a chance to move back to .500 with a win over the Chicago Sky, but because they could be looking at their last game played without Caitlin Clark, as she recovers from a quad injury suffered against the Liberty on May 24. Advertisement After the injury was announced, the Fever said Clark would be re-evaluated in two weeks, and it's now been two weeks. Indiana plays next on Tuesday in Atlanta, and it is possible that Clark will be back on the floor for that one. Clark was not committing to playing on Tuesday, as she noted on Thursday. "I'll miss this weekend's game, but after that, it's day-by-day and see how I feel, and just turn to the medical staff and what they think," Clark said. "I feel like I've made a lot of progress and I feel good, and I'm not going to rush coming back. It's just not worth it. But after this weekend, I'll be reevaluated and we'll have a better idea of when I'll return." Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) signs autographs before a WNBA game against the Chicago Sky at United Center. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Still, she was on hand for the Fever's game in Chicago, which had been moved to the NBA's United Center in anticipation of a record crowd--before Clark's injury. And as a stream of Fever fans approached her, Clark (as well as fellow injured guard Sophie Cunningham) spent the better part of an hour signing autographs for fans and taking pictures. Fans heaped praise on Clark. Advertisement "People's choice as always. Unreal aura," one fan wrote. "Look at all those fans and she's trying her hardest to give all of them a little attention," another added. Another wrote, "CC is one of the nicest people. Always supports her fans." "And this is why @CaitlinClark22 is so loved," another commented. The W is lucky ot have her, one added: "She's carrying the entire league, in every city on her back. The WNBA was given an unbelievable gift." Don't forget Cunningham, of course, as the Indy Star's Chloe Peterson pointed out. Even with two of their best players sidelined with injury and even with coach Stephanie White out for personal reasons, the Fever held a 41-28 lead at halftime.
