Iowa women's basketball: What's next for the 2023-24 Hawkeyes roster?

The 2023-24 Iowa women's basketball season was perhaps the most exciting and memorable in program history.

So memorable, in fact, that the Des Moines Register is commemorating the journey with a 160-page book on Hawkeyes legend Caitlin Clark.

But in addition to the guard's many broken records, logo 3-pointers and leadership en route to a third straight Big Ten Tournament title and the program's second straight national championship appearance, Iowa's success was a result of a true team effort that helped everyone's play elevate to new heights.

Now that the 2023-24 season is in the past, let's look at what's next for each player from that memorable Hawkeyes roster:

Caitlin Clark

The senior from West Des Moines became one of the most decorated college basketball players ever, most notably becoming the NCAA's all-time leading scorer in addition to a slew of other passing and 3-point shooting records.

The superstar's exploits made her the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever. She is currently participating in the team's training camp, preparing for its season-opener at the Connecticut Sun at 6:30 p.m. CT Tuesday, May 14 on ESPN2.

She also recently reportedly an eight-year, $28 million signature shoe deal with Nike, which is the highest-paid endorsement deal for a women's basketball player.

Kate Martin

Following a six-year Hawkeyes career that saw Martin earn the nickname "The Glue," she was drafted to the reigning WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces in the second round of the draft, 18th overall.

A familiar face, Iowa great Megan Gustafson, will help ease Martin's transition as the two former Hawkeye teammates reunite on a championship contender. They are currently in training camp and open the season at 9 p.m. Tuesday, May 14 against the Phoenix Mercury on ESPN2.

Gabbie Marshall

Marshall, a 3-and-D specialist nicknamed  "the Spark" with a knack for stepping up in March, finished her five-year Hawkeyes career as the program's first player to record 200 3-pointers and 200 steals in a career. During her four seasons as a starter, only Clark played more minutes.

Now that her basketball career is over, Marshall plans to study occupational therapy at the University of North Carolina.

Molly Davis

Davis became a fan-favorite during her two seasons at Iowa after transferring from Central Michigan. She not only helped space the floor and relieve Clark of some ball-handling duties, but her intensity gave Iowa an edge on both ends.

Unfortunately, Davis suffered a knee injury in the team's final regular-season game and missed the entire postseason. Still, head coach Lisa Bluder honored her guard by inserting her into the national championship game's final moments with the game already decided.

Davis then had knee surgery on April 18, according to The Daily Iowan, and is currently recovering. She is out of college eligibility.

Hannah Stuelke

After coming off the bench as a freshman in the 2022-23 season, Stuelke became a full-time starter as a sophomore and nearly doubled her production across the board. She averaged 14.0 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, with her season highlight coming on Feb. 8 against Penn State when she scored 47 points.

Stuelke is expected to continue developing and could blossom into one of Iowa's go-to scorers during her junior season in 2024-25, potentially pairing well at power forward alongside incoming top-40 recruit Ava Heiden.

Sydney Affolter

Affolter didn't play much during her first two seasons, but her junior campaign saw the Chicago native become a key cog in Iowa's March Madness run. After Davis went down, Affolter joined the starting lineup and averaged 12.7 points and 6.8 rebounds across nine postseason games.

As a senior, she will likely be a full-time starter who should be one of Iowa's top leaders and tone-setters.

Sharon Goodman

Goodman enjoyed her best season in 2023-24, averaging 4.3 points and 2.9 rebounds per game, but her role diminished in the second half of the campaign after a strong start.

Still, she won the Elite90 Award (best GPA at the Final Four) for a second straight season and intends to forgo her remaining college basketball eligibility to pursue a nursing degree.

Kylie Feuerbach

After being sidelined for the entire 2022-23 season with a torn ACL, Feuerbach returned to the court and was one of Iowa's few consistent contributors off the bench.

But she shot just 31.3% from the field and 29.6% from deep as she likely needed time after her injury to get back in rhythm. With two years of eligibility remaining, look for Feuerbach to compete for more minutes next winter and be more efficient after a healthy offseason.

She will also soon graduate with a major in marketing and work toward a master's degree in strategic communications.

Addison O'Grady

O'Grady has been a consistent presence off the bench in all three of her seasons at Iowa.

With incoming freshman Heiden expected to compete for the starting center spot and slide Stuelke to power forward, O'Grady should fill a similar role in 2024-25: a backup big tasked with playing hard defense and rebounding against opponents with interior size.

Taylor McCabe

McCabe's stats - 3.3 points, 0.6 assists per game - remained about the same last season as they did in her freshman campaign in 2022-23, but her efficiency improved greatly despite playing in 15 more games. She was particularly lethal from deep, where she shot a staggering 46.1%.

With Clark, Davis and Marshall gone, expect McCabe to compete with Feuerbach for backcourt minutes alongside Affolter and Villanova transfer Lucy Olsen.

AJ Ediger

While Ediger has never carved out a prominent role in any of her three seasons at Iowa, she played a career-high 24 games in 2023-24 while maintaining an elite 60.7% shooting efficiency.

With Goodman leaving, Ediger should have a chance to earn a larger role as a backup frontcourt piece.

Jada Gyamfi

Gyamfi went from playing just eight games as a freshman in 2022-23 to appearing in 20 this past season, but she still had a minimal role at 4.0 minutes and 1.4 points per game. Regardless, she is known for bringing positive energy and uplifting her teammates.

But the Johnston native can earn a larger on-court role in 2024-25 because of Iowa's roster changes. If she can improve on her 33.% 3-point shooting, perhaps she can become a backup for Stuelke at power forward.

Kennise Johnson

Johnson played the fewest minutes of any Hawkeye who got on the court in 2023-24, partly because she was one of only two freshmen on the roster and suffered a left knee injury in late February.

But the 5-foot-4 Illinois native could develop into a sparkplug off the bench next season as Iowa will be looking for guards to help replace Clark, Marshall, Davis and Martin.

Ava Jones

Jones didn't play at all during her freshman season and has been forced to overcome significant hardship over the past two years.

Just two days after she committed to Iowa, Jones and three family members were struck by an impaired driver in Louisville, Kentucky. Jones suffered a brain injury, broken collarbone and torn ligaments in both knees. She was sedated for 10 days and lost her father, Trey Jones.

The hope is that Jones can fully recover and be a contributor on the floor at some point.
