WBB: 2026 Transfer Portal
- Thread starter CycloneT
- Start date
Appeared to be a great teammate and grew up a Cyclone fan! Wishing her success in her next stop.
Thought this was coming. Good luck at your next stop
Either had or being had. Tanke was a nice kid but seemed a step slow to me. Hope she finds a good home that she likes and can get some PT.,
She was a four star recruit, top 100 national player and top player in Iowa.
The staff can’t be happy.
She was overrated as a four star. Watching her play showed enough, lot of effort but this is no big surprise. IMO. Her reason for staying would have been friends and degree not playing time.
HS recruiting rankings don’t really mean much if you cannot produce at a commensurate level in college.
One could argue that the lack of college production is on the staff for development, scheme, etc.
She was the second to last off the bench. Those players are always going to transfer these days.
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…
Sure I get it. Let’s see who’s interested in her, and where she ends up.
Oklahoma recruited her in high school.
I'm not, never claim to be, watched her in limited action for 2 yrs. She's looks a step slow to me to be a P4 guard. Recruiting misses happen a lot, losing a deep bench player is no big deal. If she wanted to stay for her degree that would have been great, but evidently she's transferring for PT.
By the way feel free to post your coaching bona fides I've read plenty of your posts this year that don't amount to a hill of beans. You're no different then everyone else on this site just a person with a opinion sometimes right sometimes wrong.
Being a great shooter when not guarded doesn't translate to the actual game. As others mentioned she looked a step slow to be a Big12 off-guard/wing. It's not like staff didn't give Aili 2 years to earn PT.
Great person and always gave effort, so hope she finds a great fit in portal.
She needs to go to a mid-major or maybe even possibly drop a level. This isn't like playing "Horse", FOR THIS LEVEL, she was slow, nothing special on defense and never really showed the great shooting, probably greatly affected by that lack of speed/mobility/height and being well defended. While not a fan of the coaching staff, I'm not surprised that they weren't giving her playing time.
This one feels like she will land and Drake and put up about 6 3's against us next year.
She was not going to play here, she should some promise as a freshman, but really struggled this past season getting playing time. When she had her chance on the court, she just did not produce much to give her more minutes.
