    *** Official 2026 ISU WBB in WNBA/Pro Basketball Thread ***

    Gustafson is a HUGE liability on defense and is limited offensively, but the Fire really do not have any kind of post player. In the win vs Conn MG did not play in the second half.

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    And She wants to be known as a master recruiter and coach - no way is she (or TCU) going to admit that they just bought a team.

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    The number I saw was that those two each got about $800K. Williams and Hare also got huge increases from Indiana (along with a top level Grad Program). Add in that there appears to be a lot of momentum for the five years of eligibility and you can at least double what they are likely to take in.

    On the broadcast they said Stewart got a finger on BC last shot, that is why it missed so badly.

    NCAA Tournament Expands to 76 teams

    Think it would also be about the access to the building for the other teams - practice and media time take a lot of the availability for the eight teams at that location. You could probably work around it but you would need to make sure that the seedings matched so there were no more than 2...

    U of N in trouble again

    I think it is more about that the player was kicked off the team and made to cover up the reason.

    ***WBB: 2026 Recruiting Thread***

    And NONE of them are going to come right out and say, "I left for the $$$". So you will hear various other reasons that may have contributed but my guess is any that went to a P5 school made 2 - 3 times or more what they made this season at ISU.

    Twister Sister Summary - Coaching Possibilities

    I think her husband is older and was retiring so that was likely a big part of her decision. She also seems "old school" so the NIL/Transfer Portal may have played into the decision.

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    What is being reported for Oklahoma State WBB Top Players: Heard - $2 Mil McGill - $1.3 Mil Crooks - $1.4 Mil So those three are reportedly getting $4.7 Mil (plus whatever the rest of the team gets) - supposedly last year's UCLA team that won the title had a payroll of $5 Mil so that is in the...

    Tyrese Haliburton setting Pacers, Cyclones, and NBA records

    Would make sense for Hali - Kittle to know each other - Hali buddies with Purdy - Purdy buddies with Kittle = Hali buddies with Kittle.

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    I am not disagreeing with this but she would have had to be willing to accept this coaching.

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    In order to coach a player hard they have to be accepting to that coaching. There is a fine line between not wanting to alienate them (leading to the portal) by pushing them (diet / conditioning / what they want them to do) vs pushing them when they don't want to be and they leave. Her next...

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    I read Maryland quit recruiting her when they got the commitment from a transfer from Stanford. Not sure what options she is still pursuing.
