Very impressive post player added.
In the NCAA tournament game against UCLA, she had 16 points and 10 rebounds (3 offensive rebounds).
Great addition. Hopefully she plans to play 2 years. (Note: I do see in an article from last year that she said she intended to play two more years after this past year.).
Is she immediately eligible as this appears to be her third school? Or does she get the ability to transfer and play immediately because her head coach left and went to TCU?
Also is great to see she played in Iowa before so the weather won’t be a new thing for her.

I don’t believe the transfer from juco to D1 counts against you. So to my knowledge, this would technically be her first time transferring? I could be wrong though.

I believe that she has immediate eligibility because the first transfer doesn't count against her, since it was from a juco.
EDIT: yeah, what @Thompsonclone said
The NCAA makes it clear that the one-time exception is only for transfers between two four-year schools, so the juco transfer indeed does not count.
Czech Republic (Czechia) isn’t the warmest place in the winter months either.

This page says she has both Czech and Benin nationality, but she was definitely born in Czechia based on several sources. I'm guessing she might have dual citizenship with Benin through one (or both) of her parents.
Watching a few videos on Natabou, I have to say she looks strong, and not likely to get pushed around...between the talent and the strength I would not want to "go low" against Audi or Natabou once she knows defense.
Now we really need reinforcements in the backcourt.

Absolutely. We need backcourt scorers. Looking at my very short 2023 list, Matilda Ekh might be a good match -- 6'0" G/F, 12 ppg, 39% 3pt, hm all-big 10

Yeah, I am big on Izzy too. I'd say of the remaining players I like watching her develop.
Oh-oh from the article...and they call her...
“The best hair and dresser is Izzy for sure,” said Hornets guard Kahlaijah Dean.

With Natabou added, I'm now cautiously optimistic about our post play. Depending entirely on Zingaro and Crooks made me nervous. Having Natabou allows us to completely take pressure off Crooks if she needs time to develop.
EDIT: changed "Izzy" to "Zingaro" since we apparently have an overabundance of posts named "Izzy", per @StClone
Actually just realized Zingaro is Izzi. So we have an Izzy and an Izzi, not two Izzys.
EDIT: Natabou's Twitter handle is IssyNatabou, so "Issy" is likely the proper spelling.
