You might think but i'd doubt it, unless Jan runs her, and I don't see that happening. I mean could she really portal? To where? She'll be a 4th year player who's never played a significant minute in a game. With all the players that hit the portal, I can't imagine a team taking her on. Certainly not a D1 team.
We have an all-Big center, third team PG. Why recruit those position? Deal and Stremlow are solid 2 guards. McKenna and Journey are a solid PF duo and you can sub Mallegni. We really need two SF's. A best available, shot gun approach could upset players on the team and impact Iowa's culture
Both CCW and Stremlow will be All Big next year.
We need another point guard, Chit Chat is playing way too many minutes. I think all those minutes contributed to her shooting slump at the end of the regular season
Doubt she will leave Nebraska. It will be interesting who does enter the portal. I know there is a lot of discussion about tampering in college sports. I wonder if it could go the other way, where a player's family, ex-coach, or agent contacts a school inquiring about their interested in a player. If a school said we would be very interested once they enter the portal. Is that tampering?
We need 2 starters and 2 solid backups? Are Addie, Journey, and McKenna going to be bench cheerleaders?
Some of these people think that this 2nd place Big10 2 seed team doesn't have the talent to compete at a high level. Can't make this shat up.
While I agree we need a backup pt guard who wants to transfer from a place where you’re probably starting to being a 6-8 minute a game backup?
Just because they’re a backup pg doesn’t mean they couldn’t still play significant minutes. Molly Davis was starting Clark’s senior year until she was injured. Just need a reliable ball handler that can run the offense if needed.
Those type of players are out there but you would probably have to scout mid-majors or a DII / JC diamond. Just my opinion, but there are some very good mid-major and lower division guards who were under recruited out of high school but really blossomed in college. Jensen has pretty good radar for character and culture fit (Rodriguez tbd) to sift out the right player.
Why would they do that? They have plenty to do, prepping for the tourney, recruiting and the portal.
That’s why they might be there. Someone was previously hoping we could snag the Murray St PG, a Waterloo native, to backup Chat. Note: she’s not in the portal and no idea if she intends to enter. We played against her and the rest of her team last year in the first round.
Interesting! She would be a senior next year and might be worth a look, she could definitely play in the BIG, but not a tall player by any means.
