Other than Audi everyone has stated their intentions, but the portal doesn’t actually open until the championship game is over.
WBB: 2026 Transfer Portal
- Thread starter CycloneT
- Start date
Yes, great Cyclone but why only her if Audi comes back, both loyal both 4 year starters.Did you read AJ's post?
What is your point? I can right now without doing any research (so there is plenty more teams) that have lost multiple players to the Portal. Arizona State and Okie State each only have 2 players left, less than us. Tennessee, Iowa, and Indiaba all have 4 or more players leaving. Minnesota and LSU have had starters leave. It is every bit as much the portal and NIL as it is you abd your coach not getting along. To think the portal and NIL are not a big factor in what is happening in Women's Basketball is naive. Yes, CBF has to be an issue, but with free transfers and money it is easy to leave.
The players leaving Iowa State aren’t leaving to chase NIL. They are leaving because our teams have underachieved the last two years and they don’t see that changing. The situations at other schools may be different, but it doesn’t really matter because it doesn’t apply to our situation.
Why does it not apply. All those schools I listed except Indiana were in the NCAA tourney, some also underachieved so why does ISU only have a problem. Yes without a doubt most of the girls that left ISU are chasing the money. You do realize that to recruit players now you talk to their agent, Lawyer or handler first. Before they leave their visit they will go over the financial offer to come play. Most have zero clue how this is done, coaches no longer recruit just the player, they also have to recruit the agent and handlers. All these young ladies leaving schools very much has to do with chasing the money.
Not all of the WBB players transferring out are doing it to solely chase the money. PT and the relationship with the staff also factor in.
And this isn't applicable to only ISU,
Thanks for the dumb Bozclone, nothing I said was dumb or wrong but you dumbing it tells me all I need to know.
To some extent I agree. But you now have to recruit the agent and the player. They pretty much all have an agent in this NIL era.
Are you sure some didn't leave for money? Do you have inside information?
Rev Share & NIL are definitely a reason and since players have agents whose motivation is money....
Add the portal, why be 2nd string when a player can start elsewhere and not sit-out?
And then there are all the old school reasons:
- Grad Transfer/New Academic Experience
- Homesick
- Didn't Like Ames
- Coach Pushes Them Out
- Player Doesn't Like Coach
Did you all see Iowa’s bench. It was ridiculous with coaches.
Much of it was irrelevant to the situation at Iowa State. Unfortunately, we have a coach and his staff that are struggling. Players have left to find better situations. Oh, and maybe check your facts about Arizona State and the transfer portal. That program has a coach and a team on the rise.
Yes you are correct on Arizona St, it is Arizona losing alot if players. Wrong program stated I stand corrected.
Players have left and may find better situations, may not also. That is happening all over College Basketball, once again this is not just an Iowa State issue.
Has Audi stated that she will play for Iowa State no matter what? AJ has put her heart out there for all to read.
The silence from Audi is deafening. Tired of this game being played. If she leaves I don’t care anymore. 90% of team gone and staff is hiding. This is now a s***show and I appreciate AJ and EP staying. If any commits stay we have 3 confirmed players. Any hope is gone and may need to forfeit season.
And if Audi stays she will too.....I just do not get the hate for a player who has not yet left. Maybe she will and you get your wish of AJ being the only Captain. I would love for both to stay and have 2, both 4 year loyal Cyclones.
All the talk of Money not being a factor by a few.
I would venture to say that without a doubt Addy, Jada, Beaty and Hare all get paid better where they end up than they did at Iowa State. Would not be suprised if Williams and Wilson do too.
Tanke and Jensen are probably the two who have moved on for playing time.
If Audi decides to go it most certainly is for more money.

Aren't you a drama queen. I think you are safe to buy season tickets!
Because it's not that hard to say what you are doing, either you WANT to stay or you WANT to go? If they want to play games then I personally prefer they just move on.
