Really? McCabe was shooting 37.8% and 37.4% from three. Stremlow is shooting 51.4% and 41.3% from three. I believe TS is doing just great.

Deal has potential but

Totally agree. She needs to get more shot attempts. She isn't an effective point guard, but has many excellent attributes.
Doesn't mean she will either, but I appreciate your constructive viewpoint and not dumb a$$ bi@# responses
20+ games in…If you haven’t fixed problems by now or “realized what they are”…..
Really? More top 5-10 level teams? Because that was my comment. Silly question, I guess, but just how many of those teams have "non players" on their rosters who stay there for 4 years? Again, if thats what it is, thats fine. Its Jans team. Just temper expectations because it will take another player of Clarks skills ad a great deal of luck to win the B1G now, or to compete to an elite 8 level.
All excellent points, BUT, thats just it. Its an Iowa backcourt problem, not an Addie Deal problem. System, coaching, expectations, whatever. Look, were a good team, and we've beaten several ranked teams, but there's a pretty big gap between the top 4 or 5 teams and the the next group, and in even bigger gap to the 15-25 ranked teams. For a brief shining moment, (one blessed by a generational talent) we thought we belonged in that rarified air.
Hasn’t been good that’s for sure. But
I’ve heard that. Just don’t consider a team that started 3 seniors that young. But in terms of the remaining roster definitely. I think they’ll be younger next year in that they will have zero seniors and likely 2 sophomore and a frosh playing major minutes.
Agree, but I was mostly referring to substitution patterns and now who should replace McCabe starting.
I saw what happened when she did, but that wasn't happening out west. You have it all backwards. She didn't play well against OSU because she got minutes. She got minutes because she was playing well.Her combined line in 38 minutes of play out west was 3 points on 1 of 9 shooting, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 turnovers. She's also not a great defender. I'm not in any way suggesting she was the only one that struggled either. Kylie was terrible as well.
I also don't agree they had nothing to lose
That's Monday morning quarterbacking. It was a 12 point game with 3 minutes and change left in the 3rd quarter. She did return with 3:24 left when the game was in fact over.
I don’t have a strong opinion “yet” on this issue but I think it’s tough to keep those “developmental” players around in portal times.
And I forgot to add, I still think she is our best post-entry passer.
She wouldn't move the bar at all right now. And I wouldn't say she played well last year especially the last half of the year I thought she was awful. She definitely wasn't good enough to be worth her idiot father's baggage.
You can guarantee something that is not true?
Stremlow had 79 assists in 458 minutes and Chat has 81 in 601 minutes. The results are flipped regarding the turnovers though.
I think that's the point he was making. Stremlow is an important player on this team and has shown to be a good passer and shooter but she is also loose with the ball. She should be a 2 with point guard only when absolutely needed.
You think not. So your saying right now that UConn, Texas, UCLA, or S Carolina would keep a Jada or Kenise Johnson on their roster for 4 years. I'll take some of that bet......
I see 2 years of stats and in that time she's appeared in 39 games. I don't think that Jada and KJ combined have appeared in 10 games the last 2 yearsIzzy Besselman

On LSU's roster 4 years....
Averaging 2 min/game, so it’s not like those
have ever been meaningful minutes.
Do less, guy. Jada appeared in 11 games last year. 20 the year before. 43 and counting for her career.
Idk how many games KJ has even been healthy enough to compete in.
Sarah Graves is a Sr at Texas with 26 career appearances for an average of 4 min/game. Only in blowouts
Ally Vantimmern is Sr at Michigan. She transferred so played a lot more previously. But averaging 5 min/game this year, pretty much exclusively in blowout wins.
Ducharme at UConn is in 5th season at UConn, she played a lot more first 2 years, has had injuries and now seems to really only play during blowouts (which UConn does a lot).
Interesting one I found, Megan Grant Sr at UCLA who is a 2 sport athlete (also softball) but I believe this is her only year playing basketball. No idea how scholarships work there, but they only have 12 listed on their roster (compared to 14 for Iowa). And she still basically never plays.
Okay. You guys win. I was wrong. You might want to consider though that UConn gets a way with that because they have 10 5 stars on the team. We don't have that luxury, so MAYBE we should be recruiting over some players, (Thats actually the coaches job by the way) to continue to improve the roster where we have weaknesses, or players that can't contribute.
If she’s a good teammate, works hard in practice, and a positive influence to younger players then she provides value even if it’s not in the form of minutes on the court.
I think Stremlow has been really solid. Not sure how much of a ceiling she has, but I’d love JJ to run sets for her. She has a good midrange game.
Ultimately I don’t believe for Iowa to elevate they can afford to have a TS as your starting 2g. But she should be great contributor during her career.

I didn't know we were discussing good team mate value. Do we have weaknesses that need to be addressed? Like I said before, the Iowa culture thing is SUPER. It really is. BUT if we are going to sit in press conferences every year (post CC22) and state that are goal is to keep that momentum as a team that can go to final4's, then how should the coach evaluate her roster. Thats all I'm asking.
Stremelow gives me Kate Martin vibes
Does a little bit of everything and always plays with a chip on her shoulder.

Maybe they should just tell the truth that the Big 10 has never really done much in women’s basketball at the Championship level. Purdue won in 1999 and Maryland won in 2006 when they were not even in the Big10
Did you say the same thing about Monica's freshman year? She couldn't even catch a bounce pass. You were probably a great talent scout when you were a freshman as you are now.
Levin will be recruited over again the upcoming portal session and if she ever wants meaningfull playing time why not transfer. She has taken over Jada‘s job as captain of the cheerleading squad and realistically will never see meaningful playing time.
but unfortunately Stremlow is terrible on defense. She gets beat on the dribble drive over and over.
