It will be a whole new world next year when players like Affolter and Stuelke now have the pressure on them to score at a high level. The role players are not pressured to score because they defer to CC. They won't have CC next year, and I don't see anyone on that team with the mentality to score like CC.
Best thing for them is to go transfer portal and grab a whole load of players, or go the ISU route and have a freshman class take over. When you depend on one player so much, it creates a lack of aggressiveness in the other players, offense gets stagnant when that player isn't in there.
No Vanna!! That pisses me right off. Even at her age she still is way easier on the eyes than Clark ever will be!! Murph justs wants to walk tall and show off his bulge in his pants (probably just from crapping them).
Affolter might have that dog in her, but she's also a senior next year already so...yeah not really sure what they're gonna do unless freshman step up or they go portalling, which they failed to do this past offseason.
Hahaha...extremely average, in my opinion. Plays hard and can certainly fill a role, but seems like she is ultimately a replacement level player. I certainly don't think we've missed her at ISU.Whar Feuerbach?
Bluder will need to hit the portal for a true PG, I don't think we have anyone currently that can slide into that role, unless Guyton's back at 100% by the start of the season. Affolter will be solid, and Taylor McCabe is a shooter, she'll get her points. Looking forward to Heiden coming in, will be nice having a solid, true big in there.
A solid core between Stuelke, Affolter, and McCabe then. Iowa will be fine. They won't be elite-level like they are now with CC (obviously), but they'll still be a tournament team IMO. Probably benefit letting go of some older players in the program who are solid but limited, i.e. Molly Davis and Gabbie Marshall. Gonna look completely different next year.
Yeah Affolter and Martin are both fine role players but Marshall is not good. Also, Stuelke has gotten a lot of mileage out of Clark pulling defenders away, I can see her struggling next year if she's a focal point.
She was up and down throughout the regular season, really struggled earlier in the year, but she turned it on late and especially during the B1G tourney.
Assume you’re aware she’s going to graduate second in WBB history in assists, right? She has made stars out of several of her teammates.
They have the space for one from the transfer portal. They lose Martin, Marshall, Clark, Davis, and Goodman, so they have nine coming back. They signed five in November, which takes them to 14 unless others choose to leave.
