100% disagree with this. Kate and Gabby are massive upgrades over what we have now. Also for Jan to let this programs momentum fizzle out after CC is a tragedy of epic proportions. I will stick to my guns on this. She was and is the wrong hire.
So off base. Try to remember Kate and Gabbie as fresh/soph. They were probably not even as good as Strem/Deal are right now. You can't compare junior/senior Kate to where she was in her first two years. This is still a very young team (that won 25 games in the best conf) and played today against a team with 6 seniors who will be playing pro ball. Then they go out and get Kneepkins who was an AA at Utah last year, (Iowa tried hard to recruit her when she hit the portal).

Unless she greatly improves, Hays will never be worth much coming off the bench. Certainly not a starter.
Deal has to improve a ton
Wright is good but 5’4” ? That’s an issue.

Need to portal numerous players.
Your an idiot.....Deal will be an all B1G player in the next two years....

This sounds harsh but it’s true. And sobering.

Wright and TS are backups on UCLa, USC, LSU, Texas, UCOnn. Maybe 9-10 off the bench.

JJ has to upgrade in the backcourt and wing positions to elevate the Hawks to the top tier.
I had been saying for years that most all of our starters on the men’s team (in past years) would never even sniff the floor at program like Illinois….it can be done though (see 1980’s). 🥲

And you guys pick today when she was what the third leading scorer with 11 points while our two senior leaders had TWO points between them, but once again lets all get on the dump on Addie Deal train. Good Lord......

Didn't mean to sound like I was picking on anyone. I was just saying the 2 rushed shots were thuds off the backboard.

NO ONE shot well today.

There were 44 thuds (missed shots).

IOWA Shooting:

......5-23 (22%) from three
12-38 (32%) from inside the arc
................................................................
17-61 (28%) Overall Shooting

.........6-8 (75%) FTs
................................................................
...........45 points

Yes, the shots he’s talking about were definitely worse. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Kylie miss a shot 5’ left of the rim.
Lolol.. I've seen Kylie throw a three all the way over the basket dozens of times. I'm not sure what you,ve been watching. And again Deal scores 11, hits three three's while our 6th year senior scores 2 points and plays like A-- on offense all game, and its the "damn, did you see how bad deal missed those two shots with the clock expiring and everyone else afraid to even shoot the ball"? This site is so predictable if not entertaining.....

Yep 5 for 23 from three and Deal was what 3 for 5, and once again WHO are we talking about? You guessed it.....

Weird because its gotten SO out of hand here, whatever this whole thing is with Deal? As Fran pointed out we go 5 for 23 from three, Deal goes 3 for 5 or 6. That means the rest of the team was 2 for 18!!! And yet we aren't talking about the crap shots of Kylie who scored 2 points, (or her multiple TO's), Stremlow who I think made one shot, or Hannah who was a total non factor, its the Deal thing again....

Yeah. Deal probably had as good a game as anyone today. One of the few relatively bright spots in an otherwise abysmal performance.

Thanks for that. I mean CCW did what she could, but the rest of our backcourt had as bad of a game collectively as I've ever seen.
It wasn't just the backcourt that was terrible. Look at Hannah's line. 0 points on 0-4, just 3 rebounds and zero assists with 2 turnovers. I guess she at least has a sore elbow to blame it on. I don't know what's happening with Kylie. She's playing hard on defense and was never a scorer, but she used to make good decisions and took care of the ball. She has 3 assists against 10 turnovers in the last 3 games. Too often the offense dies when the ball hits her hands.

Not good as Deal? Lost me there.
