Portal officially starts and the floodgates will open. Emely can quietly enter with little explanation now. Teagan probably at 65% chance to enter. She may just want to go home at this point. Three or more schools in the area might fit if she needs family, friends and does not feel she can develop. Shame, I really like her potential and her personality. Her mom was her coach.

How did you determine the 65% probability of a Mallegni transfer?

Thought this was gonna be "reality sets in" in terms of Iowa not landing jack sh** in the transfer portal because no one actually wants to see Iowa competing atop women's college basketball, and merely had to bite their tongues and bide their time during the CC era................

Because that would've been true as well, had you said that instead.

We will see. Granted ain't getting a full roster, snd i suspect a senior/graduate or two to round out the roster. Depending on Teagan, need about 5 or 6 to even get to 11 or 12. Maybe can get some that sre current teammates to get there.

The only players I really care about keeping today are Ava, CCW, Strem, and Journey. The rest are simply filler or have already definitively declared either way.

Maybe.... I don't understand the relative advantages of announcing early vs waiting for the official start date.
The advantage of having your name out there is that your agent can evaluate suitors and their possible interest. Interested schools will also have more time to evaluate you before the portal opens.

I for one truly hope that Teagan stays at Iowa, I think she has a lot of upside potential and can be an important part of this team. Just my opinion.
I hope she stays but wouldn’t blame her one bit if she leaves. She’s going to be behind Journey at the 4 and Strem at the 3. She will be behind MW as well at either the 3 or 4, wherever Jan ends up playing her. And that’s before adding anyone from the portal.

Again I really hope she stays. She would be great depth off the bench next year.

It's the wild west with rules seemingly changing every week, but I thought there was a " no contact" period until the portal opened. If there's little to be gained by waiting then maybe ER hasn't decided to leave. Just my dumb speculations.

I still think Iowa will add at least one more 26 recruit.

It's not just up to Emely to leave or stay, Jan too has a say in this. Iowa can choose to not have her back.

If a player declares for the portal and has a agent then they ,the agent can negotiate for the player.
The player also has a no contact clause if they wish.
Seems like some grey area. I suspect alot of decisions have already taken place.
It will be fun to watch!!!
