Could there be another pair of sisters joining the softball team for 2024?

Twin sisters Emma and Anna Henderson have been on the Iowa softball team for the last two years and both of them have entered the transfer portal.  Emma is a 5' 8" right handed pitcher and Anna is a 5' 9" catcher.   Emma pitched in 6 games in 2023 with 0 starts and she had a 3.09 E.R.A.  Emma also batted .250 in 24 at bats as a Pinch Hitter.   Her sister Anna played in only 4 games in 2023 with 1 start and only 5 at bats (.000 batting average).

I'm not trying to say that this is likely to happen - them both transferring to Boise State like the Flores sisters did in 2022 - I'm just mentioning it here because I found it interesting that another pair or sisters have both entered the transfer portal.

Stats don’t seem very enticing.

I think a pitcher who pitches in the BIG a.k.a. The Big Ten and has an ERA of 3.09 must be doing something right.  A player who gets a hit one out of four times at that same level of play is above average with room for improvement and Emma is both of those.   Her sister Anna had only 5 at bats.  Too soon to make any judgement IMO.
