Wonder how much playing time Belanger will get for ISU. Big step up going from Division II Truman State to the Big 12.
***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***
- Thread starter mred
- Start date
Other than Ryan and Belanger, our backcourt players have scored a total of 17 career points in college. (I'm counting Diew as frontcourt.)
King: 8 points in 64 minutes over 2 seasons
Dawkins: 9 points in 62 minutes over 1 season
K. Joens: incoming freshman
Jackson: incoming freshman
We have four slots still open for 23-24, but possibly only three open for 24-25 (if Ryan/Diew/Zingaro all take a bonus year). I bet we'd be happy adding at least two more -- perhaps an Ashley type (Beyonce Bea would fit this) and a post (like Ware, but I'm guessing that's not happening). The single-year transfers are nice because they wouldn't affect 2024 recruiting, and there are still some good 2024 freshmen I'm sure we'd like.
Iowa State women's basketball team picks up Truman State transfer Hannah Belanger
Hannah Belanger was a strong shooter and experienced starter in four seasons at Truman State. Now she's heading to Ames.

Same was said about Soares coming from NAIA. Let’s hope she transitions as well!
Unless we sign some more transfers ( please do) she will play a bunch. We have nobody else. 30+ minutes per game.
A big plus - will be her 5th year. Regardless of the completion, that gives her a big leg up on our incoming freshman.
Bea has been removed from the list, although after the under-the-radar recruiting of Belanger I can't say for certain whether she's actually no longer an option.
On a similar note, I saw a small hint we may have a shot at Aneesah Morrow. We know ISU has contacted her (as mentioned in the "not team cyclones" thread), but I saw something else that may hint at us getting serious consideration. She tweeted that her top 3 are coming soon, so we'll know soon whether I'm delusional or not.

I hope you're shocked...not literally...well maybe...but...
Iowa is on her big, no doubt with NIL bundles of benjis.
I'd be happy, but shocked, conjecture in an article gave Morrow's top 5 landing spots:
Aneesah Morrow enters transfer portal; 5 possible landing spots
Aneesah Morrow has entered the transfer portal as one of the best talents in women's college basketball. Here's where she could end up.

What a great get. Picked up a shooter and a legit post with size and experience. Not bad for a month with the sky falling.
Next year won’t look like what a lot of us expected, but it’s shaping up and I’m excited for the newcomers

Career 64.3% FG shooter, although with 0 career 3pt attempts. Not a lot of blocks for someone her size (around 1 per game) but gets a ton of offensive rebounds.
She's from the Czech Republic, went to Iowa Western CC in 20-21 (free COVID year), and spent the last two years at Sac State (Big Sky Conference). Her first year there she was newcomer of the year and second-team all-Big Sky. This season she was on the first team. This is a conference that still does 5/5/5 for 1st/2nd/3rd team.
