I bumped into Ashley's grandmother (I have known her family almost all my life) last night and it entered my mind to ask if Ashley was going to come back next year...but I didn't...didn't think it was right to do so. Her grandmother was beaming and so excited to talk about Iowa State with me and said at least 10 times in our conversation "you know the TEAM is really good...so many good girls playing on this team". Kept deflecting the praise I aimed at Ashley specifically. It was fun to have a conversation out loud in a public space in Cedar Rapids about how great things were going for Iowa State basketball (mens and womens)! So...nothing to report other than it felt really good talking to her and seeing all of these people wearing Iowa hoodies standing around listening! Go STATE!
