I was impressed with crooks and given our lack of fucks given on defense I would gladly take her. That’s a solid fucking screen, even if you have to deal with a manslaughter charge or two over 4 years.

It is disappointing that Iowa couldn't parlay last years success into getting one new impact player to come in for this year. it's Caitlin and the Clarkettes.

That tends to happen when you have one of the best players ever.

is there a team we can’t beat this year?

Watching ISU’s Brown back players down into the post from the arc and taking 10 seconds to do it reminded me of coaching first grade ball when we couldn’t double team or steal the ball until they got into the paint, so coaches would sometimes just back their biggest kid all the way to the block and there was nothing we could do about it.

But you were promoting a family oriented environment, so good for you.

I agree. I’m sure it wasn’t for lack of trying. Lauren Betts wanting to stay on the west coast was the real bummer. The next recruiting class seems to be the one that is the direct result of the recent success.

I don’t think we tried particularly hard in the portal. Which was a mistake because our bigs are soft mentally
Sharon is getting way better. Jan is really coaching her up. Hannah Stuelke is a 4 not a 5. And Addison OG is kind of a lost cause although she makes a decent play now and then

Not true....they did try in the portal, especially with Betts as mentioned above. Van Lith and the girl from DePaul were never coming here, but they would have really liked Betts, but she wasn't interested. There just weren't any other good fits available. Good news is they have one of the top posts in the country coming next year...Ava Heiden who is 6' 4".

she was sitting at home playing 1A ball 6 months ago. She will get in better shape with the resources they have. And they won’t allow her to be lesbian.
Why did none of her AAU coaches tell her up to this point, you know maybe instead of 6 double cheeseburgers you could try 2 and an apple?

Exactly. And neither parent is obese. (Dad's obituary is a trip...8 kids, 5 different last names...thought maybe he played in the NFL)

Looking up an obit is a trip.
In a story about her it said her dad was a standout at Fort Dodge High School and I was wondering if he had with Goodman or Lookingbill.
