***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***
- Thread starter mred
- Start date
I don't follow Marquette and saw earlier MU had a decent, not great, class and transfers for 2022. They did play in the WNIT and won a few and won over 20 games this season. Whether Halle Vice is going to be on an ascendant team, I couldn't say.
She was a nice recruit but the State of Iowa has many great players and the four state WBB bigs could have made a bigger play for Vice. Good to see she found a nice school with a competitive program.
Crooks just won the 1A shot put, nearly 5 feet ahead of the runner-up.
Threw 45-1, breaking the old 1A state meet record by 3 feet. All 6 of her throws today were farther than the old record.

Crooks won the discus this morning, also.
The last gal hoops player I remember doing shot put and discus was the Gophers Liz Podominick, she just missed making the 2012 Olympic team. I seem to remember us recruiting her back in the day. She gave up her final year of hoops to concentrate on track & field. She held the Mn record at 52' till some gal chucked it 54'.
Throws suggests she has been doing serious weight training; discuss also shows balance and coordination. Baier-Pyszczynski will have a lot to work with.
Just saw this. Ava Jones (shown on Mred's list as an ASU commit but actually committed to Iowa) was involved in a car pedestrian accident.
I am coincidentally in Louisville right now (vacation, unrelated to basketball) and saw this news while looking at the website of the local paper. Horrible news.
Jones verballed ASU last year, then decommitted at some point and verballed Iowa this past Sunday.
sadly…Jones father passed away, mother and Jones are in critical condition. Little brother released with minor injuries.
I like her on court hustle and vision
She looks like she might be a great passer, which would be a great thing to have in the post given our perennially good long distance shooting ability.
A couple of future Cyclones won the Adidas 17u national championship last weekend -- in the first pic, Bristow is #1 in back and Brown is to the right of her (her left).
