I expected way better but in no world was the womans team ever a f4 contender
Audi Crooks to Transfer
- Thread starter Clone5
- Start date
Spending money on a one year fix only to have to hire a new coach in a year and start all over again would be wasted money. Save the spending for a new coach salary and trying to rebuild after 2027. 2026-2027 is a lost season either way.
This is completely unfair and imo completely naive. If it were as easy to transfer in the past as it were now it probably would have been even worse at times. Probably has more to do with how easy it is to get out of a bad situation as “kids these days”.
Ten bucks says Fennelly wrote the WBB script for Pollard to read.
At least it sounded that way.
The entire team didn’t leave due to NIL. Easy scapegoat.
Pollard has always sounded like that no matter who or what he is discussing.
Hate it, love it, or indifferent towards it, Pollard always speaks in this manner.
^ I need to bookmark this. It's a concise and accurate counterpoint to the crapola spin our AD just subjected us to.
OK. I'm going to take the bait, although I know I shouldn't. Because ganging up on Audi, who by all accounts is a truly decent person as well as a heck of a ball player, is sickening. And by ganging up, I mean the number of posters here who diss Audi, not just GT25Ump. While there is momentum on this and other forums to denigrate her skills and abilities and drive, and even her personality, the true experts in the game have repeatedly named her to All B12 and All American teams, this year includes the Wooden All American Team. And this and other posts suggests she isn't skilled?
As far as which teams would want her, as other posters have questioned, do you really think she enters the portal not knowing what her options are?
1- I absolutely HATE that she is leaving, but don't blame her.
2- I can't bring myself to watch the Pollard video. Might just skip it. It's platitudes, right?
3- Any chance Addy or Jada come back now?

Of course they didn't. Some probably left because they didn't like the coaching, some for more money, some because they just wanted a change of scenery.
I'm not happy about the situation, but I also don't think it's fair to act like the whole team left because of the coach either.
If I had to guess, I think he and Jamie had a discussion and agreed that he would retire at the end of the contract. I think he's earned that at least.
So…Jamie could find out more by asking the players why? He either has, or will be doing that, right?
Audi plays her ass off. It's not effort, or coaching or conditioning. I understand the need to dance around it, but it's the truth. For her to play 30 MPG in the big 12 is impressive
If she did, there are going to be some asshat Iowa fans that need to scrub some awful things off their social media accounts. There were some brutal things said about her during her time here.
I noted the only player faces you really see in that video from last years team are Harris and AJ.
That’s some elite level editing.
I'll take your bet that Fennelly didn't write it. Burden of proof is on you. Find something concrete, and I'll gladly venmo you 10 bucks.
Content sounds to me exactly the AI-esque type of AD speak Pollard always does. I am indifferent towards how Pollard speaks, but I know it really bothers some, others like it, probably just depends on how "corporate" of a person you are.
But if you think Fennelly forced him to do this or say something specific, eh...Pollard likes to hear himself talk. I'm sure he had no problem coming up with all this himself (or maybe he just ChatGPT'd it, who really knows.)
