Wonder if Fennelly is retiring bc another ISU player, Freya Jensen, has entered the portal. That makes 6 transferring and 1 graduating.

Maybe something really went down during that losing streak, Losing 7 players on the roster is a lot.

3 players that played significant minutes leaving as of now, 1 player coming in, Jan swung and missed for some high profile recruits from the high school ranks, I’m not sure how attempting to backfill on the recruiting misses in the portal is going to tear the team apart.

Jan brought in Lucy and this year Emely and Chit Chat, and as far as I know they were welcomed into the circle and never missed a beat. That wassn't surprising to me.

wishful thinking on Brown. Not going to happen. I’m pretty sure she is not interested in playing for a pound it into the post program after leaving a pound it into the post program. I’m sure she is looking for more freedom to play her game.
She'll also probably be coming with a hefty price tag.

I still have hope for Layla as a backup but I can’t see her and Ava in the lineup at the same time. I consider her less of a threat shooting the ball from the high post area than Hannah. Then we are back to playing 4v5. If we stay with a double post offense McKenna or Journey have to pair with Ava or Layla.
Agree, they won't be on the court together. She just needs to give Jan 7 0r 8 good minutes a game next season.

I can't imagine that they will stay with 2 post offense. They only moved to that this season because of Hannah and wanting to play her with Ava.
From what I've seen of Wolicko (sp?) she should be able to play the 4 more like McKenna Warnock did. so they can run a 4 wing offense.

Had a few transfers last year too. Bristow and Fritz ended up at Texas Tech and I believe there were others. Maybe the time is nearing for Fennelly to call it quits.

No Chit Chat? You cannot be serious. Journey will also start at a 3. And Heiden of course.
Do not see journey at the three- iffy outside shot, never saw her being a great dribbler. Emily however would be great there as has h as bales and will attack and get a shot off.
Our three off guards only shot 16 % for the tourney😡
There you

There you go talking out of your *** again.
way out of his ***

Not many teams would want the style disruption/roster disruption of adding Audi Crooks to their team. (Certainly not any fit for Iowa.) Will be interesting to watch what happens if she jumps into the portal.

She doesn't run the court well, she doesn't defend well, and she'd make our offense completely one dimensional. Not sure if you're kidding or not. Lol. Ava is a better all-around 5 for us.
Put Audi at the 4. We did alright having the GOAT never play defense
