    You need to find a new team to cheer for because this "problem" isn't going to be solved anytime in the next few seasons. There is no quality big who is going to sign on to play alongside these two players. Even if Jan wanted to spend another $500k+ on a third rotation player at the 5 (ps $500k...

    ESPN way too early brackets, Iowa #2 seed

    Great! So does that mean we can all expect you to stop crashing out?

    ESPN way too early brackets, Iowa #2 seed

    I'm not convinced we were actually "deep" last year -- we really only had 6 actually reliable options to put on the floor who could both score and defend (even if only in a limited way -- i.e., Kylie, McCabe, Stuelke), and then Deal as a better-than-no-one back-up PG. We had a lot of raw people...

    The biggest difference between this off-season and last off-season was that we had so many question marks last time. We thought we knew what Ava and Strem would be, and we were right about that (and Strem did improve her shooting over the off-season such that she did significantly improve). But...

    They still earned a 2 seed. The topic wasn't how they'll perform in the NCAAT, but what seed they will earn. Which are you actually talking about?

    That would make sense if the team hadn't earned a 2 seed this year with fewer reliable options up and down the bench.

    Weren't you banned from the previous iteration of this board for being homophobic and/or embarrassing?

    What is apocalyptic about me saying that Jan is doing a good job in her second year and I'm looking forward to the upcoming season?

    Amari Whiting was not someone LaSondra knew. Neither was Lucy Olsen, who Jan was instrumental in landing (and keeping after Bluder retired). I can't tell if you're just wedded to being serially anxious about all things regarding Iowa WBB or just someone wedded to negativity. Either way, it feels...

    Whiting has started every game of her career. She is absolutely an upgrade over Deal. The thing about Carnegie and Whiting is that they're *proven* players. This time last year, we didn't know what to expect with our newcomers. Deal, Wright, Rodriguez, Hays, and Houston were all unproven...

    In this scenario you're just going to have to pop a Xanax, look to next season, and move on with your life. There are other things in the world to put on the TV besides Iowa Women's Basketball. I recommend Bob's Burgers.

    Sorry for any confusion. I'm saying Ava, Dani, Chat, Woliczko are getting at least $2 million COMBINED, not individually. This is per year btw.

    2027 Recruiting

    Except you're making up your mind based on vibes, while I'm basing my conclusions on comments by Skim Milkey and Brad Heinrichs. Before you say Heinrichs could inflate things...in the same interview he admitted that he had failed to bring in enough money to stay competitive in men's basketball...

    IDK what to tell you. If you don't think that an active WNBA player with thousands of followers, including many young women, tweeting "Iowa has got to do something about its racist fans" isn't a recruiting problem...you can't be helped.
