Again with the HATE verbiage. I wonder what kind of person labels ISU fans who don't share his/her opinions as "haters"? Also, I'm pretty certain the WBB moderator already chastised you for suggesting members not post - the site partially derives it's income from traffic.

I'm not so sure he catered to Ashley he’s been the pick a horse and ride it to the finish line for a long time now. Crooks is now that player. Crooks, Ashley, Carleton too lazy to go back and check rosters.
I'm pretty sure they are out of the ISU salary range. But I agree with you they would both be a good choice, I'd lean towards Jenny B because younger.
Jenny makes over a million. Brenda is around 1.8 million. There's no way we pay that much
I've often wondered if Aubrey and Kelsey were part of a deal to get Ashley for 5 years.
There's not a snowballs chance in hell that either Brenda or Jennie would consider the ISU coaching position. None. Both have a really good thing going in better leagues and better programs than ISU. Unless one of them was augering in and on the verge of getting fired they ain't coming back to Iowa. But they aren't augering in, both are flirting with Top 10 for next season.
Agreed. I always hoped Brenda would be his replacement, but it would have had to happen before now. She’s on the downhill side of her career and I can’t imagine she would come here unless it was for the final few years of her career to be home….and that is pie in the sky thinking. No way Jennie comes here. Nothing ISU has or will have would be attractive to her IMO. Bill's replacement will be exactly what he was…a young up and comer from a smaller school. The only coach in his lineage that fits that criteria right now is Heather Ezell. I trust in Pollard to have his list ready.
Good thing that those are just falling out of trees for free. News flash: nearly any team outside the top 10 is looking for something like this. They're in short supply. You are right that those types of players take a good team to a great team. There's a reason that they are hard to get. It seems like some people think this is just an easy find the player and sign her, when there really may not be a "starter quality" 3/4 who's above 6 feet and can shoot 3s, much less play D. Those are RARE.
Yea a 3&D skill-set is a tall task from the portal with our budget. I'd settle for a R&D player, which opens up the pool of players a bit.
Seems like the team needs a player who can compliment Audi & Addy. So scoring isn't a priority, but a 6'1-6'3" player who can rebound & defend would significantly lift the ceiling in 2025/26. Maybe there's a player from a lower division, JUCO or international that fits.
Still think Mwenentanda would be a great fit with her length and athleticism. Maybe the asking price is just too high with her being a former McDonald’s All-American.
Shall I say dislike instead? Read the posts and tell me what you think how certain posters feel about coaches and some players.
I will say the dogpiling on Tanke in particular kind of bothers me. Especially with the lengths some people went to to defend certain other players. Not everyone can be Freshman of the Year.
As time goes on some of these kids might start to not worry so much about the money and be glad to get a schollie. As rosters fill up there get to be fewer seats at the table. It's like the game musical chairs don't really want to be left clear out.
You all need to stop listening to some folks in here who eat tenderloins at Joensy’s, you’re getting a very embellished version of the truth. KJ was loved here, were difficult conversations had? Probably so, but forced to leave & scholarship not renewed are just lies.
Agree. Heard everyone was happy here, had no problem staying and I don’t believe anyone was forced out, but definitely heard players were gently nudged. No idea who, but the staff definitely wanted roster spots open.
