Updated the OP with her. I could see us going with a 4-guard offense with all the backcourt talent we're accumulating, but as has been pointed out we do need to get some height. And the coaches are aware of that, of course.

I don’t think you realize how good that Australian team was
Yeah they gave the golden girls of USA a tussle, but in the end were overpowered.
I don't care how good their team was. The player that committed to us only played a total of 13 minutes over the course of 6 games (only playing in 2 of them). And her stats at Florida weren't much better. 1.6 pts/gm averaging 8 min/gm.
I'm just saying I'm a little underwhelmed with our roster build so far. A few promising guards, but they would be role players on any of our past teams.
Next Aussie BB star? Elite camps: Curry hosts small, invite-only skill camps for high-level prospects and trusted coaches; these are selective and aimed at advanced players.

As a freshman, in a new country, behind a 22 ppg scorer, in the best wbb basketball conference.
she is promising give it time there’s plenty of minutes available
are you sure the coaches know this? Probably only if they read this board. lol
I am reflecting on all the articles written about how Audi was grateful for ISU and the opportunity to play. Now find out she is getting $1.4 million from Okie State . Rumor is she wanted $500K from ISU. So much for not about the money. Realization hit that the WNBA is not in her future and needs to grab the cash now. No wonder the team bolted if she was asking for the cash ISU had. All makes more sense now. Greed caused this - not sorry to see her go!
I like being wrong about Aussie Dakic leaving Florida and maybe now wrong how Saint Mary's Aussie Edie Clarke might prefer a southern school. It probably won't happen but 3 from Down Under would be a hoot. Especially 6'4" Clarke, she would add some verticality and give us a trio Alison Lacey-O. could entertain.

I relaxed my standard a bit more to include people followed only by both Hatfield and Jenkins, and as a result added three more to the list.
I mean are you at all surprised? Clearly by the max exodus, our former players were tired of either
a) Audi being the focal point and running a boring and generic offense
b) Bill playing favorites like he always has
c) Combination of a and b
It's not a good look when you have that many players, especially high key players like Audi, Addy, and Jada all entering the portal.....the Reagan Wilsons' and Aili Tankes' of the world transferring are not surprising...those are "I want playing time" type transfers. The core three all transferring speaks volumes about deeper rooted issues.
So it's no wonder we aren't getting high key transfers, especially when our AD made it apparent that they'd only be playing one year under Bill's leadership anyway.
