2024-25 Roster/Rotation Additions

[mred]

It'll be really interesting to see how the portal changes next year. This year was the last year of the super-senior transfers (other than a few random redshirts). Of the 11 players who transferred away from ISU over the past two years, 5 were seniors looking to play their bonus year elsewhere.

Using the data here: https://www.thenexthoops.com/features/2023-24-transfer-portal-tracker-ncaa-womens-basketball/

... it appears that around 26% of the 1300 players in the portal are seniors looking to transfer for their COVID year.

imagine game planning as an opponent. Go ahead and double Audi and leave one of our 7 40% 3 point shooters wide open

Another layer of offensive after Audi's low post or proficient 3-point shooting is powering into the basket with some of the new and existing personnel. For instance, Taulelei is impressive moving near the basket to deliver a variety of shots. I believe there are some others with strong offensive assets.

So great job by the coach but I hate him and he won't succeed? Is that about it. Sky did not fall last year, sky did not fall this year and yet you still talk down the coach whenever you can.

Thanks for the Dumb on the post. Just was wondering what I actually said that was dumb? Or do you just not like it? Got 7 thumbs up and 1 dumb.....

Looking at the scholarship spreadsheet, in the Bill Fennelly era, Emily Ryan will be the 5th player to be on the team for 5 straight seasons.

Name the other four:
______________
______________
______________
______________

Bonus stats: we have had 109 Freshman, 93 Sophomores, 89 Juniors, 84 Seniors and 4 Super Seniors. Only two of the Super Seniors were here all 5 years (which obviously means the others had a Redshirt year).

1999-2004: Erica Junod
2001-2006: Britany Wilkins
2018-2023: Morgan Kane
2018-2023: Ashley Joens
2020-2025: Emily Ryan

Obviously barring no crazy injuries, this team should win the Big 12 IMO.....the most stacked roster we've had in quite a while

Signing of the transfer class is official.

I think we did great!
My guess - one starter and 3 significant role players.

The scholarship chart is updated.

Looking back at the players who transferred out after the 2022-23 season, Maggie E-M, Lexi Donarski and Morgan Kane all had good years on their new teams. Seems like they found good fits. That's especially nice to see for Maggie who had an up-and-down time as a Cyclone due to injuries.

Really no reason not to look for a practice type player at the post. With injuries it pays to have someone that can just give you 5 fouls and so.e rebounds.

The energy you spend looking isn't worth it
