    Different players have different priorities. Davidson has an enrollment of 2000 yet competes in 21 D1 sports; Evansville similar size. Drake by contrast 5000; U of I 31,000. Maybe realizes college will be the end of her basketball career, wants to play as much as possible, and get a degree from...

    Regarding Bria: I doubt she will be much of a scorer at Iowa. Last year only 59 of her 420 FG attempts were from 3, so most of her offense came in the lane. Watching part of one of her games she didn't show any spectacular jumping/athletic ability and with her only being 5'6" she'll be hard...

    I think some of the reason with 'secrecy' is that with 1500+ possibilities to sift through, the job to find good candidates is monumental....especially now where all of the known players have already signed. If you're good at digging up decent prospects others teams may just pursue your offers...

    My immediate reactions from watching McDonald's /All-Star games of Addie and McKenna: Addie: HMMM.... McKenna: Why don't they pass her the ball? Addie could turn into a gem for Wisky. McKenna's pedigree is way more level-headed and grounded: Dad's been a college coach and now an administrator...

    Well I guess I wasted my time reviewing all 1500 women in the portal looking for an extra 4. :LOL:

    Technically not in the portal but class of 2026 decommitment from Long Beach St due to coaching change. National leader in made 3's; wonder if she can play any defense.

    My thought exactly. The video was an interview, not a speech. She was asked about the portal and gave an honest answer. If there ever could be a way to make financial details public the whole process would be more palatable.

    Nothing really wrong with the post except from an Iowa perspective; this came out a few days after her visit here. Kinda like going on a date and thinking everything went really well, only to have your date put up a post on her Facebook page 2 days later saying she's looking for a boyfriend.

    Yeah, I'd be shocked if McCowan came to Iowa after her post-visit post.

    Tough 5 game stretch, how do we do?

    I could see them giving UCLA a game. Lost late on a questionable foul call on Lucy after she was tripped by Bruin player; were up 7 at the half. I agree with previous posters that anything above 2 wins would be gravy.

    Emely Rodriguez

    She's now travelling with the team and looks quite engaged during the games. Better than lurking in the background of the huddle or not even being at the games. The longer she's around the better the chances of her feeling like part of the team. Will be at the game tomorrow and anxious to see...
