WBB: 2026 Transfer Portal

Remember she also “only” won the National Girls 3-Point Shootout her senior year in high school, with a tremendous final round.
With our shooting problems, you’d think…
It’s like so many comment on here. It’s one thing to shoot when you aren’t guarded and another when you are. As NWICY stated…she was too slow for Big 12 basketball. Delightful young lady though and she does have skills. Likely end up at a lower level school.
 
There are several at the end of the bench that won’t surprise me in transferring or not coming back. It’s the nature of the beast.
Jensen - she was a question mark coming in and is pretty raw but athletic.
LT - has been a project since arriving. Has some def skills, but is lacking in physicality.
Wilson - I liked what I saw of her this year. Does she want more? Disappeared towards the end of the season.
Will be surprised to see anyone else transfer.

Hope Im wrong but pretty sure you are going to be surprised.
 
Tanke and any others thinking about transferring should consider Wartburg: 8 conference championships, 3 Final Fours, 1 Elite Eight, & 1 Sweet Sixteen since 2016.

If this is true, why would any player transfer to Iowa State? You likely have a lame duck head coach and you have no obvious minutes to offer a transfer. Seems like anyone good would have better opportunities elsewhere.

It would likely mean anyone we get is a Hannah Belleger type. 1 year senior who wants to play in front of actual crowds and we’d be lucky to find another Hannah she fit her role perfectly on the team.

We need another forward, but good ones are hard to come by.
 
She was a four star recruit, top 100 national player and top player in Iowa.
The staff can’t be happy.

I mean you can go by what is on paper or what you've seen day in and day out as far as does this player fit the program and can she contribute the level needed to have success at the highest level....
 
A. I’m not convinced they would all leave, the new staff would have to recruit them, no different than them going into the portal to a new school. The new coaches that have started in the big 12 (TCU.Ok St.Arz St. WV) seem to have done fairly well. ISU Women’s BB will be fine with a new coach. It’s a change, but it really has to be, there are lots of good coaches out there who want to get their chance, and introduce their basketball philosophy. GO CLONES
 
If any of the big 3 go into the portal Bill should be right behind them. Try and find a new coach and let them re-recruit the existing roster if they choose and bring in their players.

Staff should be ok with this. She was a little slow for a guard and too small for a forward. Great shooter in hs, has not transfered as well to college success. Wish her the best. It looked like the effort was there.
 
Hope Im wrong but pretty sure you are going to be surprised.
You were dropping hints all night long so you must have heard something interesting. As far as I can tell, the WBB NCAA record for single season attrition is 9 players, set by SMU. Can you tell us if your insider info suggests ISU will be challenging that record?
 
They played but were role players on their new teams. If they transferred to expand their skill-set or have bigger impact than they had at ISU, it didn't happen.

IMO Lexi was only player who hit portal that we missed. Feel like every other women, their replacement was already on roster or we acquired in portal.
I would have taken Bristow at any time. Her problem was being behind Addy.
