I agree with this, you got to have some role players and convince them they are valuable because they are.Hot take: It's a culture issue when your entire bench wants out.

When the players starting ahead of them are all freshman, its hard to paint a picture for a future expanded role.Hot take: It's a culture issue when your entire bench wants out.
Agreed. Last year was concerning. This year is understandable. At the end of the day, if a player like Natabou wants to play significant minutes, it's basically just lying to her saying that she'll have opportunities for more. Crooks is our answer and it became very obvious last year by January. Convincing a senior to take 8-10 minutes a game on what may be their last chance to play basketball is tough.When the players starting ahead of them are all freshman, its hard to paint a picture for a future expanded role.
We had practically the same thing happen with the departures on the men's team this offseason, do.we have a culture problem there too? This is just the unfortunate era we live in with the transfer portal where if you don't play enough then you can just transfer. Last year was a little different losing 2 starters. That didn't work out too well for Fritz and the rumor was Donarski may have left for academic reasons and she didn't have any better of a season at UNC than she did at ISU.Hot take: It's a culture issue when your entire bench wants out.
But times have changed. In the past you would lose eligibility when transferring except you moved down to lower division. It was a factor in the past.I agree with this, you got to have some role players and convince them they are valuable because they are.
She gave us some size on defense and she moved her feet better that Crooks. With the size around the country we need to find a way to match them.Losing Isnelle is a pretty big loss. Hard to sell another big to come be a backup behind a sophomore big. Isnelle is very athletic. She gave us some quality minutes this year.
I’ve heard her referred to as more of a guard than a forwardWhat is Alisa Williams' game? She's the 6'2 transfer from LSU that sat out this season.
TJ was able to convince Ward to come back in a very similar situation last year. It benefited the team greatly.We had practically the same thing happen with the departures on the men's team this offseason, do.we have a culture problem there too?

TCU transfer Sydney Harris is an interesting name to watch. Not sure if ISU has a realistic shot.If there is any action in the portal towards Iowa State, I haven't heard about it. Anyone else hear anything? Bueller? Anyone?
I don’t think anyone knows what her college game is going to look like except those at practice. I’m hopeful.What is Alisa Williams' game? She's the 6'2 transfer from LSU that sat out this season.
If she plays more against Stanford we had a,chance to win. With Audi having an off game a change of pace may have helped. We kept forcing it in to Audi instead of using the,whole team.Natabou went from being the starter at Center at the beginning of the season to only playing 2 minutes versus Maryland in our first Tournament game. She wants to play.
