i was glad she stayed. i think the gurl got game. anyone know if her injury was that serious or are they angling for a medical redshirt???? i think she could be really good once she figures out when to go 1000 MPH and when to dial it back a bit.
Emely rodriguez??????

If McCabe is out an extended period of time it would be nice to have Emily back. We're down to CC, Kylie, Taylor, and Addie for proven guards.
If either of them get in foul trouble or God forbid get hurt too then you're looking at Teagan, Callie, and Kenise

If she hasn't even been dressing my guess is you won't see her again this season and applying for a medical redshirt. Getting late in the season for someone who hasn't played in 2 months?
I would hope she sees our starting 2 and 3 are graduating and as of right now the only incoming recruit is a number 4(not counting potential portal transfers) A lot of playing time available at the 2 and 3 especially if Deal takes over at the 1 when CC needs a breather.
Emely was practicing this week. She was in her practice uniform in the shoot around photos. I can’t say if she is practicing full speed, but I haven’t seen her dressed out since November.
she might be good as soon as she learns how to pass the ball.
She’s likely gone. She wants a redshirt and resume. Quitting on your team looks bad in the portal/nil.
hope im wrong about that.

I think she would have been gone by now and not sitting on the bench.
This is definitely a situation where Jan sat her down and said this isn't a fit. We can act like you're injured and preserve a year of eligibility for you, but you won't be on the team next season.
If the team was complicit in exaggerating an injury to allow the player a shot at a medical redshirt, that would be an NCAA rules violation.
At this point, I doubt she’s still hurt. The back issue is convenient. Collecting her NIL, trying not to cause too much of a distraction. That would only hurt her portal opportunities
Definitely??? Strong word for unfounded speculation.
Totally agree, that is not Jan's style or our culture. Hope Emely is getting better and able to play in the future. Whether that be as a Hawkeye or at another school.
Everyone remembers that she wasn't a part of the team for a few weeks, right? There could still be a punishment going on.
honestly who cares at this point?
If it’s not fit then move on . No ones fault necessarily. Sometimes you swing and miss. Such is life in the NIL

My only problem is if she's planning on leaving, leave now. No need to be on the bench or traveling or anything. And if they are paying her? That's beyond stupid
She probably continues to collect a paycheck as long as she's actively involved with team activities. Then she can go for a medical and get another payday
My understanding is NIL is paid in monthly payments. If true, quit and so do the payments
I don't know if this means anything, but she was wearing team warm-ups on the bench vs OSU. In previous games she would just be wearing an Iowa sweatshirt.
I have no idea of what her standing is and I'm no medical expert but I do know that back problems can take awhile to fully heal sometimes and then flair up again over and over. A player cannot play with back pain/problems unless they are very minor.
Have any reporters asked Jan recently about the situation? Like whether they think she could be back or whether she will likely be done for the season? I've seen other coaches say a player is getting close to returning or they hope to have them back in a few weeks and talk like that. Seems like it was around Christmas time when we got the last update(unless I missed something). It kinda went from a day to day injury to now nothing.
What is an NCAA violation anymore?
Wait a minute, you actually think there are still NCAA rules that people follow.
I get your point...but it does seem Iowa manages to get shafted by the NCAA from time to time. Students/athlete gambling, Drew Ott, KF 1 game suspension, etc.
That's how I read it. Had it also been in bold letters then that would have absolutely sealed it.He said definitely so must be fact
The haves like Michigan don't. The have nots self report and the coach gets suspended. Rules only apply to the rule followers.
