Can you speak in regards to her parents? Seen a report of where the parents could be a handful. For some reason, Joens pop into memory.
She was here Tuesday. Visit went well, her heart says Iowa but there are other options available to her for significantly more $$. So...it's up in the air at this moment.
Agree. ^^ roster spots 10 thru 14 aren't getting many minutes, normally. Frankly, they are mainly practice players who nowadays are very likely to portal after a year, so just fill out the last couple few spots with "grey shirt" level personnel.
Thanks for the research and your analysis based on that research. And back to Megan Considine, her bio says of her two brothers, "Sean played football at Iowa and Ryan was a Hawkeye baseball player."
They are really good people, but...the money subject is a thing. We'll see how it goes...
Yeah, and in 2013 Schneden was added to the team also because there weren't enough players. The previous season there's a freshman Kayla Timmerman who left the team after one year, and there's no time to recruit another player. However, at least it's before the next season started, so it was not an in-season try out that nabbed Schneden.
I've never seen a basketball program that wasn't hung up on size. For a football analogy - there have been many running backs and receivers that excel at blocking, but you don't want them on the offensive line. Same here, guards can grab long rebounds but they can't bang under basket for 30 plus minutes. Size matters.
SAW ******** it.. you Saw a report....we are an educated state... yes it's a pet peeve.
Iowa started the season with a roster of 14 and ended with 10 avaliable players. If they had started the season with a roster of 10, they would have ended with a roster of 6 avaliable players. That’s the point. Injuries happen during the season and usually more than one.
I get it, but many players don't look at it that way.
Rodriguez doesn’t count odd situation but she quit that isn’t normal.. Injuries do happen which we lost 1 right in McCabe. Read my previous posts I said we should be at 11-12. The health issue is a risk but you don’t lose 4 players unless your the early 2000 Hawkeye WBB.
I said I get it but most players don't take injuries into their equation.
I can't speak to anything concerning the parents. Don't know them nor heard anything bad about them. I think that McCowan loved her visit and would love to "play" at Iowa. I think the Iowa staff would love to add her. But, I am sure other schools (don't know who) are offering starter minutes along with their financial commitment. I don't think, just guessing, that this staff guarantees anyone that they will start or play X amount of minutes. (Addie Deal) I believe McCowan should come, relish the opportunity, even if it means possibly coming off the bench, getting use to the faster, more physical play and then when in there making her mark and be a dependable, strong part of the rotation. The Big 10 is a huge step up from the OVC. I feel it is advantageous for McCowan not to be heavily depended upon as a starter and let her work her way to substantial playing time as time goes on. Who knows, maybe she comes in and grabs a starting spot before the season starts.
I am not comfortable relaying too much specific detail, but one of them as a Cyclone as a mascot.
That school's other portal transfers so far have been weak, so why would she want to step into that hot mess.
More money and a guaranteed starting spot I'd assume.
I thought that schools athletic program was a financial mess. They have a bag now after 8 left
See post #1744. The decision, as far as I know at this minute, has not been finalized. But that is the "why" that explains the current delay.
I have no idea how much their NIL budget is. I do know that the offers on the table are not the same.
That's really not a good comparison, football is more a strength game and basketball more a skilled game, that's why in basketball you would get a foul for what you do in football. If you look at the men's basketball team they didn't have a lot of size compared to most teams they played but the undersized guys hit the boards well. And you cant compare mens and woman's sizes because its not uncommon to have 6'3 to 6'5 guys playing the skill positions that are still outsized compared to the woman's game most players are unger 6'4 and that 6'4 player is probably playing inside. Football is a 48 minute game of physicality basketball is a 40 minute game of more skill and depending on what style you play you may not do allot of banging inside. Also it was interesting to hear Journey Houston say the other day in an interview that Iowa will be a 4 out 1 in offense next year that they really couldn't do this year because Hanna never really developed the outside shot so teams could pack in and get more rebounds. If its true and i dont know why it wouldn't be then you 4 out wont be banging hard inside anyway on offense.
Do you recall where you heard Journey talk about 4 out? YT, podcast or article? Also if you don't mind, do you have a link to it? Thanks for any assistance you can recall on its location.
I agree. Just seems like a poor tradeoff to play for a lame duck, disliked coach with probably a less talented set of teammates than she had at Western Illinois.
Any coach that guarantees you a starting position is not a one i would trust or respect. Woild Ben M do that. Kinda doubt it. Alvaro gone.
Then stay where they sre. It obviously money and the fact that can be a free agent every year. Does want to play for fennelly or iowa state. 8 players said no. 36 players get drafted. Doubt she makes that cut. Take the money, but education stalls transferring every year because you have to start.
Well, I would like to assume that these facts ^^ have been shared with the young cager...perhaps even by someone on the Iowa staff.
So you can upgrade to the Big 12 and start vs playing for Western Illinois? And honestly do you think her education is going to stall? This isn’t the old days.
Right? The benefits of playing at a P4 far outweigh the benefits of playing in a mid major like Western Illinois.
I saw it on Twitter it was a podcast interview just a few days ago as I think it was a Davenport station that was covering their local athletes. She also basically said she never considered leaving and loves playing for coach J
