Oh so you don't stand by that the Hawkeyes should call Bluder out of retirement to replace her??? You know you just stated that yesterday right?
They should, but I doubt Bluder would want to.
I'm sure Lisa is a bit upset that the program she built up has performed this poorly the last two NCAA tourneys.

BTW: I didn't say "replace" Jansen, I said "advise" JJ.

Not sure why everyone thinks she has to go somewhere and be the focal pt. Plenty of players want to go their last year or 2 and also play for a winner. She will have plenty of suitors. She scored 35 pts against us and they beat us. While she wouldn’t fit in on any of the top 4 teams pretty much every other team around would make a spot for her.

Spot? Ummm
She is the passenger you see coming down the aisle on the airplane that you pray to god that she isn’t the middle seat in your row

So you don't have all the answers . . . color me surprised
I think I know what's going on with you.

You and a couple friends are sitting in a bar right now. You say to your buddies..."Hey, guys, I've been going back and forth with MitchLL for a couple of days on sport's forum and I'm getting absolutely bitchslapped talking Iowa WBB. What should I do"?

Friends say..."Well, if you can't influence with your intellect, try baffling him with your bullshiit".

You say .."OK, nothing else has worked".

Did I "nail it"?

Sundowning again no where in This quote did you say advise. You changed your statement just recently.
This thread gets more depressing by the hour.
Can Beth talk Bluder out of retirement?

I mean, it's not Iowa State level depressing, but coming off a 27 win season, it just feels like things are spiraling downward.

Not a huge upside to bringing someone in who's going to serve as a secondary piece on offense who also is such a liability in transition and on D. What's the point in sacrificing those other areas if I'm not getting 30 a game from her? And I'm not getting 30 a game from her if she's not the focal point of the offense. JMO.

Good one. Way to rip on a 22 year old girl.
Did I lie? I am an equal opportunity ripper. Don’t say you haven’t experienced that on an airplane, I don’t care what age or gender. Or the passenger that jumps up as soon as the airplane stops to get closer to the front, pointing his fart bazooka right in your face

If you think it’s funny to rip on a 22 year old girl that’s accomplished more in her life in sports than you will in your whole life congrats. Great Hawk fan.
Ok Z. No I can’t play college basketball but you don’t know jack about what I have or haven’t accomplished. Dumb a$$

Reread what I said. You're getting flustered again and confused as it appears anger has overtaken your psyche.
Compose yourself and come back tomorrow.
I'm beginning to worry about your mental state.
Have your husband remove all sharp objects from your home.

No need to gaslight. You are sundowning pretty bad. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

So after a full night rest you understand I was referring to post #406. You said that Tuesday night. Then after I showed your idiocy multiple times on Wednesday you waffled and changed your position Wednesday night - which you do regularly.

NIL, what a freaking joke to what it's done to college and university athletic programs. I hate it that players have left Iowa and I hate it that players have left ISU and any other places. FB teams bringing in 50 transfers and BB teams bringing in multiple players every year, pathetic.
Many of these gorls transfering are not getting more NIL money. The portal gives them the ability to move around.

Whatever.

Your posts have been getting more personal as you're realizing you're arguing from a position of weakness.
I intentionally didn't respond to your last post Thursday hoping you'd calm down.
Taking it way too personal.

I guess thats the closest I will get to an apology or admitting you were wrong. Just completely ignoring the posts that the claim was on. Facts matter. You just can't ignore your previous claims or just bully other posters. Maybe if you act normal with some actual humility we wouldn't have to go down this route. You have treated multiple posters like crap - including myself - so yes I completely changed my strategy in dealing with you. When cornered with facts individuals like yourself melt.

Yeah. Iowa isn't losing these players because they lack money. They are losing some of these players because their production isn't commensurate with what they were getting paid. Neither Addie nor Emely is going to get deals that pay close to what they were purported to have received this year.

Audi may be shocked at the lack of interest in the portal. She's strictly a one dimensional player - offensive post up on the low block, end of story. She plays very little defense and is a poor rebounder. And then there is the question of stamina and her consistently tardiness in running the court. She also averages less than 30 minutes a game due to her physical condition. Hope for the best for her but I doubt there will be many takers that would have to drastically change their entire offensive scheme to accommodate her.

Still its kind of off base to say she's "a poor rebounder" when her numbers are basically identical to Ava Heiden s at just under 8 per game. I believe Stuelke was leading the B1G for most of the year at 8.5/GM, so....

The numbers don't lie, but IMO she's not a player who gets after the boards, watching several ISU games this year it looked to me like most of her rebounds just kind of fall to her as opposed to her going up and crashing boards. That said, a rebound is a rebound regardless of how she gets it. But whether that will translate when she plays in a much tougher conference, much less the WNBA, remains to be seen.

Part of the reason that rebounds just "fall to her" is she takes up so much space she's just naturally blocking out the opposition. Its still 8 boards a game. As you said a rebounds a rebound.

She's leaving for more NIL money. No one is paying her what she wants if she's not the focus of the offense.
