Audi Crooks to Transfer

I'm not asking to be a **** but I'm genuinely curious which other programs have lost as many players as us including 2 all-timers like Audi and Addy.
For starters Okie Lite. Tennessee is headed that direction as well. Arizona, while not having this level of talent, lost many of its key players. The portal is just about to open and last years record number of entries will likely be easily passed this year. If numbers project as some say, somewhere between 1/4 to 1/3 of ALL players will transfer.
 
I'm sure the culture in the locker room isn't great right now but goddamn there's no loyalty to the fans. But there probably never was. Guess we should have learned that after Campbell and the entire football team left.

Really sours you on the whole college athletics thing...
 
The person who has been unable to build a roster with her that wins is the head coach! Which is one of the reasons he should no longer be in that position going forward!
I think Fennelly is our ferentz. I think both deserve to go out on their terms.. but i hope fennelly chooses to retire soon (and i hope ferentz stays). I think the current era has passed both of them. both programs will be fine with them. I don't think either will take a step forward until they retire.
 
I just hope she does not end up at EIU. Keeping the fareway money coming in and changing jerseys. The sh**show continues-

I hope she does go there. Won’t be hard to run her into the ground with pace of play. You can attack her offensively because she has never met anyone she wanted to guard. Rebounds in the paint will be available.
 
This smells somewhat like the Prohm situation except worse because the season was going well until Addy went down and the implosion took place. After Prohm got fired how many on the roster left? I don't remember what Otz had on hand when he took over.
 
If she goes to Iowa, she ruins her legacy at Iowa State. i don't care what anyone says. Not sure where else she would go though. Maybe Illinois or somewhere like that.

My initial thought (no inside knowledge) would be Minnesota. #4 seed in the tournament and still a short-ish drive for her family to see home games. They were 24-9 (13-5, 4th B1G) this past season and lose their 6'5 center.

Plus still within Fareway's marketing region. Not sure they'd want to support her wearing another jersey though.
 
BF needs to retire right now. JP needs to bring in a female coach from a mid major to build this up again. Frankly Audi ball was stale and predictable. Fresh start is sorely needed. Bring in a shaman to cleanse the place of the Fennelly mob mentality! Time is ripe

The players that left when Prohm was fired left behind 2 wins...there is/was a lot more talent on this past season's WBB team!

I’ll share one tidbit I heard directly from someone who knows. They described the ladies (in general) in the locker room as “entitled.” That one word encapsulates everything bad about modern college athletics.

speaking of locker room what did rocco say to them during the season when he did that locker room speech. Go get your bag?
 
Time for Fennelly to go. His time has past.

At this point, the choice is either keep him for another half decade, or cut ties now. Letting him coach one or two more seasons cannot be an option. Doing that turns a one year rebuild into a three, and sets the program back for years to come.

That said, the case for another 5 years of Fennelly seems really weak right now. Our team has underperformed the past two seasons, and this roster churn is evidence of serious problems simmering beneath our view from the outside looking in.

When you’re the nation’s #2 scorer - it’ll be a lot bigger pool of schools than that. She’s going to have teams lining up wanting to talk…
BY FAR the biggest name in the portal.
USA Today (prior to Audi’s announcement) had Jada and Addy as the top two players in the portal.

That's why the words except worse were in the sentence. The talent was good until one player got hurt and that's all it took. carry on
