Bixby's Larra Mullin commits to Iowa women
The Oklahoma product visited during Cy-Hawk week and is Iowa's latest women's pickup.
Larra Mullin has committed to Iowa, per Ross Bartachek. The Bixby, Oklahoma product finished third at her state tournament this past season. She was also among the visitors in town during Cy-Hawk week, and Iowa has now converted another one of them.
Bartachek framed it as part of a run, opening with "Iowa picks up another commitment." That tracks with what the program has been doing on the women's recruiting trail this month, including Eve Skrocki's commitment a week after her visit.
What the source says
The details are thin by design. Bartachek reported the commitment, the state placement and the Cy-Hawk week visit, and that is the full extent of what has been made public. No weight class has been announced, no class year has been specified and Iowa has not put out its own release. Nobody has said when she would arrive on campus.
That matters for how you read this one. This is a single reporter breaking a recruiting commitment, not a signing, and the only performance line attached to Mullin at the moment is the third-place finish in Oklahoma.
Why it matters
Cy-Hawk week is a recruiting weekend as much as anything else, and Iowa is clearly using it that way. Getting a visitor from that group to commit is the whole point of bringing recruits to Iowa City for a football Saturday, and Bartachek's wording suggests Mullin is not the only one on the board.
Our take: the interesting number here is not the third-place finish, it is how many of the Cy-Hawk week visitors end up in the same class. Iowa's women's program has been the sport's most visible recruiting operation since it launched, and a commitment stream this steady in September is how it stays that way.
What to watch: whether Iowa announces a weight class for Mullin, and whether more of the Cy-Hawk week visitor group follows her and Skrocki.
Iowa picks up another commitment, this time it’s Bixby’s Larra Mullin!
