Her quote to Jan, and I can't remember if someone else posted this or not, was "I didn't come here to be a role player." I guess we will she what she is at Wisconsin, because at Iowa she felt entitled to get minutes over others who were better than she is.
I don't think that was Deal, it was Erod, who apparently said "I didn't come her to back up Kylie Fing Fuerbach"....

Yeah, this quote that I was given was from Deal.
I still think this was the problem bringing back kylie, which i didn't like from the get go. She stunted growth of younger players without truly being a significant difference maker over the younger players.
Imagine if hannah all the sudden came back and wolicko's minutes were all but gone. I like hannah but i'm not sad to see her go. She thrived with a play maker but she was not a threat in any offense that wasn't transition.

Fair point. To be fair while neither was great offensively, Kylie was all conference defensively, and while Hannah never developed a reliable jumper she was/is one of only 4 player in Iowa history to score 1500 pts and grab over 900 rebounds. Now if Addie would have been a day one starter without Kylie would her confidence have been higher and would she have hit the ground running? Possibly. I still think Deal wasn't ever in great physical shape and wasn't completely prepared for what she was getting into in the Big Ten. Hoping our next 5 star player can hit the ground running and take the position from day 1.
