WBB: 2026 Transfer Portal

[BooklynClone]

Am I remembering right that was an article on Jada earlier this season noting that she bought a house in Ames? I know you can easily buy and sell real estate, but it seemed to me like she was committed to playing 2 years at ISU. Is the whole team just a big cluster and she decided to get off the ship? I understand her wanting to leave, but this whole situation sucks.

I don't know if that is true or not. But something happened on this team. Last year this was the most together fun team I've ever seen. When Addie got hurt things changed. I have no inside knowledge, but I can read body language.

Yep. It's all too often so many professional athletes, coaches and others just can't admit it's time and hang on, then have to be fired when they could could have garnered so much admiration and respect celebrating what they accomplished and not what they didn't.

If Coach does not leave on his own, then it's no wonder he can't see what the problem is. If you're entire team quits on you, you need to look in the mirror. This isn't a small mid major where everyone's leaving for better schools. In fact, some will leave and go to smaller schools just to leave this program. Look at where Iowa is and look at where we are. Ames, we have a problem.

Not sure who Amber Mathurin is but it sounds like sound advice. Out of the ones that have left so far, I'd say Addy and Jada are playing for money the rest for BB and a education. That is my personal opinion.

12:35 pm CDT and no one has announced they are leaving yet today.

Addy announced after 6 pm and Jada after 4 pm. There is plenty of time for our hearts to break again.

Could be tomorrow - the event yesterday could trigger chain reaction to players who didn’t plan on leaving before and now they are still trying to figure out the next steps

Thanks for tracking this. I cannot math & thought we had 3 returning. Or maybe I'm foreshadowing

 

[DGC]

We still have 5 players next year... LFG
Maybe we are doing it TCU style, be so bad be forfeit because we can't field a team and then come back with the most expensive players in the country.

 

[Challenger06]

I would hope that athletic dept folks above Fennelly are contacting these players about why they heading out.
Especially why Addy, Jada, and others with minutes are leaving.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Okay, heading to the gym and than a quick grocery and Rx shopping stop.

Over/under for defections over the next three hours while I am out and about?

 

[farm85]

Alisa Williams is gone.

That would seem to be a sign that Audi will be staying. ??

 

[ISUCubswin]

Alissa is an ok loss. Great hustle, poor defense that looked decent compared to Audi, very poor offense. Made BRE look like an offensive beast

 

[ZorkClone]

That would seem to be a sign that Audi will be staying. ??

I wouldn't read into that either way. I for one thing Audi is gone and is currently sorting through offers, then will go in with a no contact tag like Addy.

I would say no greater than four.
