WBB: 2026 Transfer Portal

I’m not sure if we’ll hear about that long before it happens. The long timers that have retired this year seem to have just announced it at the end of the season.
If he loses 2 starters then its his choice to retire or be fired. Sucks but the program is bigger then BFs ego.

Would you rather:

A.) Bill retires now but Audi/Addy/Jada all leave and it’s a fresh start for a young cheap G5 coach

Or

B.) Bill stays 1 more year, the big 3 stay but Addy and AJ don’t get hurt
Sadly I dont think all big 3 stay no matter what. Hoping 1 stays at this point.
 
My guess is either Jada/Addy go or Audi goes. I just don’t see us running it all back and if Bill is going to get one more year, might as well open up some money to buy something different instead of doing the same thing for a 3rd year in a row

I’m guessing we will run it back with mostly the same rotational players hoping for a different result, but get a similar result. I do worry about Addy leaving and wonder if others will follow, but I have no info and hope she stays.

B.

There is a nightmare scenario where Some combo of Audi, Addy, and Jada leave and Bill still doesn’t retire so our rebuild ends up delayed a year.
 
I thought Tanke struggled ans a freshman and Bill kept playing her when she wasn’t ready. Then she didn’t play at all this year until the injuries and the losing streak. When Bill finally played her she was at the 4 and I thought she did great. It was a better fit. She didn’t have to guard a quicker player. Size didn’t seem to be an issue. She is a really heady player and that showed in her rebounding and passing. Then she didn’t get to play anymore.
Not sure what games you were watching, effort was there, talent was not.

She only played decent minutes in two games this year. I said she was a heady player not an Addy Brown talent. She didn’t have the quickness to play guard in the Big 12, but BF played her a ton there as a freshman. I hope she finds a place that is a good fit for her.

I hope she does too, but she was not gonna play at ISU so no suprise she is entering the portal.
 
She was a four star recruit, top 100 national player and top player in Iowa.
The staff can’t be happy.
Well the staff has no one to blame but them selves. Bill basically built a **** show that is fundamentally flawed. Really hoping things can get fixed after next year

A is an unknown outcome, could be top 4 seed in March, could miss the tournament...

B is a 9-11 seed with round 1 exit, then total rebuild in 27/28, and another year of disappointed fan expectations

We thank Bill and wish him the best in retirement this spring!

If A guarantees we get Kayla Karius (or whoever you think is the number 1 option) and she doesn't end up somewhere else, you go A. If not B. Don't wreck things just to not get who you want
 
“She was overrated as a four-star” is a pretty bold statement that usually would come with some credibility…
OK haven't seen you back up jack sh*t. Thus proving my opinion is every bit as valid as yours. LOL you joined this yr and I haven't ever seen you back up one of your opinions. It's been fun visiting with you.

I doubt we could win 9 conference games next year in scenario B...our offense is so predictable that over time all the conference opponents figure out how to defend it. (It is not too hard when we play 3 on 5.)

How exactly do you backup an opinion?

You can't but for some reason our newest prime minister of wbb of @Challenger06 seems to think their opinion is worth more than everyone else's. You can back up opinions with facts but evaluating players is a little bit of stats and a whole lot of opinion.
We've had lots of players that haven't lived up to expectations some graduated as Cyclones some didn't. The gal from Carroll was miss Iowa BB her Sr. Yr never made it off the deep end of the bench all 4 yrs but got out with damn near a 4.0 in and helped the team by pulling up it's GPA Mossman was the gal I'm pretty sure.

The prime minister seems a lot like the whiney gymnastics fans, ***** and whine but don't put out any solutions.
