Iowa may never truly replace Caitlin Clark, but the Hawkeyes have landed a new transfer that will surely go a long way in making up for the phenom's scoring punch.

Lucy Olsen, who was the nation's third-leading scorer last season, announced on Wednesday that she was transferring from Villanova.

'New beginnings,' she wrote on X above a photo of her in a Hawkeyes uniform. 

Olsen averaged 23.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists for the Wildcats in the 2023-24 season.

Her furthest NCAA Tournament run came during her sophomore year, when she and her team made the Sweet 16.
