During Iowa women’s basketball’s summer practices, head coach Jan Jensen shared what she’s seen from five-star freshman forward McKenna Woliczko thus far.
“She’s got a really humble confidence about her. She knows that she’s got a lot to learn, but she also knows that she’s got a lot of different weapons. She’s really versatile,” Jensen said of Woliczko.
The 6-foot-2 freshman forward was ranked as the nation’s No. 6 player, per 247Sports.
“Her three-ball will get more and more consistent. She didn’t shoot that a lot in high school, but it’s really pretty. We’ll get that more consistent hopefully throughout this year, but (throughout) her career. But she’s just able to do so many things. And she runs the floor. Man, she can run it. She’s just a pretty basketball player when she’s running, and I think that when she starts to understand the reads, she’s gonna be a hard guard because she’s got a pretty quick first step, and she can finish beautifully.
“And she gets rebounds that you don’t think she’s gonna get. But, I just like the way she’s approaching it. And she’s homesick like a lot of them, but she pretty much comes in in a good way homesick. I know that it’s a lot on them. She’s really just come to work every day, and she’s got a really great mentality and just a really great perspective,” Jensen said of Woliczko.
