My point is if Jan wants to return Iowa to the sweet 16 or even sniff the elite 8 she is going to have to recruit at a very high level. I think McKenna was a good start, but she needed at least two quality wins in this last recruiting class. Lewis was a big miss.

What are you even talking about? They're likely getting to the sweet 16 or elite 8 this year.

Lol. You can’t be serious.

And yes. I'm still serious.

Interesting dynamic after the game today. Kylie was hugging everyone but went out of her way to avoid Emely. Didn't see anybody hug her. Thought she might return but she's not a part of this team.
Not true. I just watched the end and Kylie went down the line and Emely was waiting on her and as Kylie went to her the camera changed positions and when it cam back to them they had just separated. It didn't show the exact hug, but Kylie sure as heck didn't avoid her, so let's put that to rest.

This. Emely is very much treated as a member of the team by the other players. To think that they would freeze her out is crazy thought.

OK, not what I saw.

A little hard when I live 9 hours away. I was watching the coverage which probably was better than sitting in the stadoum.
Not judging by this statement: 'Interesting dynamic after the game today. Kylie was hugging everyone but went out of her way to avoid Emely. Didn't see anybody hug her. Thought she might return but she's not a part of this team.'

You don't have to sit in Carver to watch what is going on. Sometimes cameras hone in on things you'd never see in person. Rewatched again this AM. You have your opinion and I have mine, I'll leave it at that.

Immediately after the game out on the court it did look like Kylie turned to someone else while Emely was standing there, so maybe that was what you were referring to, but even at that I don't think Kylie went out of her way to avoid her.

The way things are looking seem like Emely will be in a Hawkeye Uniform next year. She seems very happy and there doesn't seem to be a disconnect. I believe Emely wasn't used to being in a family like environment at UCF and now she realizes that she's apart of one. You can see it with the way she celebrates on the bench and always has a smile on her face. She probably pound for pound the most talent person on this team and would be a big time keep for Iowa.

FWIW, I know nothing about her future plans with the team, but I did notice her really seeming to enjoy the big win yesterday. If one has already "checked out" for the future, she is doing an excellent job of concealing that while on the bench during games.

But, you do have to sit in CHA if you want to see everything, and you cannot see everything by watching the game on tv. The thing I miss most is not being in CHA anymore, so TV is the next best thing.

Emely’s sidleline demeanor does not seem like someone who has checked out. Maybe it’s possible she is planning on transferring and Jan made a deal to help her with a destination as long as she didn’t cause any locker room distractions? But I think it’s just as possible that she just ends up sticking around. Nothing would really surprise me at this point though.

I couldn't find it in this thread, but someone mentioned that if Emely enters the portal, she won't have much recent good game film to show. That would limit her options to midmajors at best. I played trumpet in a big band that I helped start in 2009. I was the best trumpet player, playing the (not very high) screaming parts of first chair and taking the solos usually reserved for second chair.

Then better players came along, and I slowly migrated down to fourth chair in what became a much better band. In theory, I could join a weaker band and be the best player again, or stick with the great band and play fourth trumpet. I was certainly not expecting to leave my band and get a good position in another great band unless I worked my *** off to get better.

That's kinda Emely's situation. Leave to a lesser program, stay as a bench player, or work her *** off to earn playing time by minimizing her weakness.

Does she have a fire in her belly?

In case you don't know what it's like living life as a fourth trumpet, here's a demonstration.


DISCLAIMER: I often don't know what I am talking about. I feel right at home on this forum.
