Both the women's staff and men's staff are very busy right now. First and foremost is retention of key existing players. Some are looking for more playing time others more compensation. Then once they know who will return, they can fill the gaps.
Iowa never offered. Top offers ended up being Michigan, Alabama, Georgia, Clemson and Texas Tech.
94% FT shooter. Kinda sad that that's a stat that I look at, but we're in need of some upgrades there
It wouldn't surprise me if Thompson came here. We don't just need starter-quality transfers. We need to fill out the bench too. And without a connection like this, not many in the portal will go somewhere without starting.
She could excel on a team that shares the ball.
Or how much the game has changed and how much money we have.
Maybe? On the bright side she's a 41% 3pt shooter. With her, CCW, and Strem that's 3 40+ percent 3 point shooters.
Also a plus perimeter defender from what I saw during the Ole Miss-Minnesota NCAAT game. Can move her feet. Ole Miss ran their last-second play to try to beat the Gophers to her, but she missed the shot.
Agree, Stremlow would be a good six man/woman. She also needs to not turn it over so much. She went a stretch where she was taking care of the ball pretty good and then went back to being careless with it. She's a good role player
Not really good?? She had better numbers than nearly 5 star freshman out there and most of the players in these lists. If you want to compare her to other players you should use her conference numbers since those are the numbers against better competition where most of her starts come from.
Totally disagree, she gives 110%. Got better as the season progressed. Improved in every category during the big season.
For the most part I agree but against really good guards, she tends to be overmatched, especially athletically.
As I stated, I'm using conference numbers because that's where Stremlow was starting and playing against better competition. I don't really care about what happened early in the season against the Evansvilles and Drakes of the world when she was coming off of the bench.
I guess she did up her game in the B1G. However, I think she was pretty selective in shooting as she took around 3 3pt shots and 3 2pt shots a game and less than 1 free throw a game. You could look at that and say she is a team player but you can also say she can't make her own shot........
She had the highest assist rate on the team. The fact that she also shot a ridiculous 69% from 2 point range as a guard also shoots a huge hole in your argument that she can't create her own shot.
Yes. I don’t know why Iowa is apparently neglecting pursuit of foreign talent. It’s sort of puzzling because Iowa WBB has status. Ask top foreign prospects to name their favorite player and I’d bet Caitlin Clark is mentioned most often. There is some recruiting capital being wasted IMO.
I highly doubt it. Very highly doubt it.
