It's hard to imagine her playing more without doing more long term serious damage. She should have her Masters and some work on a PhD by now. My understanding is she is a fantastic person and I wish her all the best post-basketball.
WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff
- Thread starter BoxsterCy
- Start date
Rose seems like a player that has the right tools for what an ISU type team is looking for in a talented guard that can shoot at all levels. I say that without having seen her play and only going off of her accolades. Appears she would be a one year hire. Had some type of foot/ankle injury this year that ended her season early.This made me laugh. These two tweets popped up together in my newsfeed.
Might be time to start a general portal thread or "The Portobello" as I call if for fun.

Agree on someone like this - unfortunately this type player will require a sizable NIL investment and have to believe the majority of ours will be dedicated to Audi / Addy.
Aaliyah Chavez demanding huge NIL deal as frontrunners emerge for 5-star recruit
The nation's No. 1 overall prospect has yet to commit to a college basketball program, but according to reports, she is on the verge of securing a lucrative NIL agreement
Aaliyah Chavez is commanding an eyewatering NIL package worth $1.5 million ahead of her commitment date.
I straight up do not believe that any NIL collective would be paying this. KSU's QB Avery Johnson's NIL is supposedly $1.8M. Never mind that WBB makes no money and most fanbases couldn't give a hoot how their WBB team is doing.Aaliyah Chavez demanding huge NIL deal as frontrunners emerge for 5-star recruit

The rumor on that is that a TT alum/booster is going to pony up the million. Heard at the B12 tourney in KC.Aaliyah Chavez demanding huge NIL deal as frontrunners emerge for 5-star recruit

What's a wbb player worth? The programs almost all lose money. Winning is only so much fun. I don't mind the ones that go get deals for whatever they can earn but play for pay how much should be paid? Not a lot IMO.
I have to wonder why? Their WBB team sucks. Gerlich still somehow hasn't been fired despite a terrible .257% in conference and a very bad .478 overall despite always playing a soft as silk non-conference. Why would anyone want to invest in a player that is just going to get wasted with bad coaching.
She's from Lubbock and they want to keep her home is the rumor. That's the version I heard.
This makes sense to me. What better option is there to kickstart interest in the program and upgrade talent all at once? The booster probably sees her as Tech's Caitlin Clark.
The difference is Lisa Bluder at least had a track record of developing talent and winning. Gerlich has done neither one of those.
This is just an ego bidding war between Texas and Tech. Her dad said a couple months ago they were looking for $1M now it’s almost $1.5. The marketing she would bring Tech is probably worth it in the long run if she stays 4 years and is a PoY candidate.
If she becomes a great player the exposure she would get at Texas over Tech would be considerable. That could lead to additional opportunities - being in the SEC / ESPN family would be hard to pass up.
The issue is that unless they fire Gerlich (which they may still do) this is just wasted money.
Neighbors out at Arkansas.

Coach Mike Neighbors steps down as Arkansas Women’s Basketball Coach
University of Arkansas head women’s basketball coach Mike Neighbors has stepped down from his role with the Razorbacks. Neighbors resigned from his position on Tuesday after recently completing his eighth season as the head coach of the Razorbacks and his 12th season overall as a Division I head...
5 billion seems real high. If they had that would they not have every top player in each sport?
I could believe that TTU has 5 billionaires supporting their program at various levels. Texans aren't known for caring a lot about basketball let alone WBB, so I would be surprised that they wouldn't try to by a football 5* or two instead with that money.
