Emily will become our female version of Monte Morris when all is said and done. There's no double on my mind she will improve a great deal in this offseason and shine brighter come next year.
On to next year

Good point, but maybe experiencing it is different than hearing about it. Not sure intensity was the best word for me to use, although accurate. Somebody on here mentioned “mistake tolerance.” Might be a better phrase. Impossible to play the game error free. The more mistakes you make, the less you should play. But I think it might be nerve racking to play when you are more worried about making a mistake than making a play.
I'm sorry to see Ashley didn't make the USA Women's FIBA AmeriCup 13-finalist roster. But it does show she belongs to the small group of the best college basketball players in the country. I hope she has had a great experience in the training camp and uses it as one of the motivations to fuel her offseason improvement. I look forward to seeing her have a Big12 Player of the Year kind of season come this fall.
When you look at the first 20 and than the 13 it looks like a few top players did not accept invitations, including the national player of the year. Big 10 has five gals on the team, Maryland with two. Maryland will be tough next year.
Nearly every recruit experiences both practice and game time before committing. If they can't see what it's like before coming here then it's their own fault. As for worrying about making mistakes...players are always taught to move on to the next play. Have a short memory. It happens.
Photos from the last day of the team training this semester.
They were having fun playing baseball and there's an interaction going on among the players on Twitter.
It's clear Kristin and Rae were not present.

But I thought our team never had fun....
And Fennelly was mean....
And the players had no freedom on social media....

Just a curious thought. Someone from inside of the program or their friend/relative might have read this forum (especially the KF transfer thread) so they decided "OK some of your posters in here got us misunderstood and we will show you more "fun and free" side of the program.
I don't want to create a separate thread for this so I'm jsut posting here.

Expect them back around the 14th of June, Session II classes start on the 14th and the freshman (minus Izzy) will arrive at that time.
Cyclones.tv just posted this video on its YouTube channel. Upon seeing its title, I thought it's a highlight video of the 2020-2021 season in review or a recent program status update. It turns out to be a "Get to Know Iowa State Women's Basketball" introductory video. If you are a WBB diehard like me, it never gets old to watch these clips over and over again. If you are not too familiar with the ISU WBB program, this is a well-made video worth your time.
Finally, Cyclones.tv has posted a highlight video of the 2020-2021 season. A lot of good memories. Enjoy.
Although this tweet comes from CycloneFB, it also means the NCAA recruiting for all the sports is finally back to normal after a 15-month dead period. Let the fun begin.
One of the freshmen Maggie Vick has arrived in Ames.
One thing I have noticed is that Maggie Vick's height is listed 6'4 and our new transfer Beatriz Jordao's height is listed 6'3. Based on the photo below, Jordao is about 2" taller, unless you count Vick's hairdo or Vick is not standing straight.
