This is what I was trying to say. I am not bashing Audi, glad she is a Cyclone and hope she remains a Cyclone, but not every team will wants such a unique talent on their team.
The interesting part of this from a defensive standpoint is athletes surrounding her. If you have an athletic team, the defensive breakdowns around opponents picks and drives to the basket wouldn’t happen nearly as often.

When you are playing D w/ Audi, it is 5 vs 4. ISU plays P5 teams w/ good D-1 athletes; therefore, it's difficult to defend no matter how athletic we are.

Given seven months, finding those 6+ players, willing to come to Iowa State, get into "The Iowa State Way" and contribute to major success is beyond what is reasonable. I love my Cy WBB, and always want the best for our school and I will be cheering. I, as a fan, guess it is outside my control but hope that somehow, someday, we will exceed expectations.

I think a contributing issue was the lack of length. A lot of the time we were running 3 guards who were pretty short. It becomes hard to disrupt passes and challenge the 3 with how short we were.

I don’t hate this, but if we know he’s done after next year, might be worth establishing a coach in waiting. And that person can not be on this current staff, so someone has to go
I understand the thought process, it makes sense. However, I think the game has passed by Bills style of bball. I don't see how meshing the old with the new is going to be effective. Hopefully, whenever BF retires, this time Pollard will wait until Coach is done talking to his team before announcing the new head coach.
 
Could be. Whatever Team gets Addy is getting a great all around ball player. Would hate it to be Iowa but I have no doubt Jan Jensen would love to have her.
Addy was a unicorn, but after her back injure she never appeared to play at the level she had earlier in her career. Hope, the time off does her good. God she was special and an especially big loss.
 
Any rumors to Addy going to an Iowa true?
If so, that’s a pretty damning indictment to lose two transfers to your in state rival. Can’t wait to hear Bill and Lyndsay’s spin on that one

Audi portaling.

Bill, if you love Iowa State, please don’t make us go through this **** again

Who am I kidding, Bill doesn’t read this.

Lindsey, please! Your family is universally loved by this fan base! For the love of God please don’t let us go through this hurt again!

Good for her. Go get a paycheck and get as far away from this **** show as you can.

For those who were willing to listen, there's been plenty of evidence that this program is a disaster for the last 4-5 years. But now it's on full display.
 
This definitely a Fennelly issue.

1 school year and 2 programs decimated (Football and Women's BB). I contend that coaching has a LOT to do with portaling. Yes, the money is part of it, too.... but how many times have we heard of players staying (despite more $ offered elsewhere) because of the coach and culture? The coach makes a massive difference in sports.
