I agree. Just not enough minutes for her unfortunately.

What are the odds on landing K. Brown now? Looks like there is mutual interest. That would take 1 of 2 available roster spots?
There are actually three roster spots available (the number had been two until Fred left early), but the issue is there's only one roster spot available for 23-24 if Kane and MEM both return for a COVID super-senior year. I imagine the coaches already have a handle on whether they intend to do that, though. Since Kane already has a redshirt season (thus making next season her 5th at ISU), it's possible she may want to go the Maddie Wise route after next season and get a free year of grad school somewhere else.What are the odds on landing K.

Not necessarily. I could see us doing lineups with her at the 4 with a more traditional five (Kane, Jordao, Zingaro). Ideally, we'd spread the minutes around more anyway so Ashley/Ryan/Donarski aren't playing 40 minutes every game, which would open up our other perimeter players (Aubrey/MEM/Diew/Fritz/Dawkins) to play some 2/3 and maybe also get some more time for Vick at the 4 (along with K Brown in this hypothetical). I'm sure we'll see that in non-conference, but BF tends to get in a rut in conference play where he really sticks to a short bench.She would definitely play as the 5 here
Has there been anything substantial on Kennedy Brown to ISU since she entered the portal, beyond the ISU coaching staff following her on Twitter? It's probably wishful thinking on my part, but I was hoping this would come to a quick conclusion because the circumstantial evidence says it's a no-brainer!What are the odds on landing K. Brown now?

Yeah, as long as she's okay with being a traditional 5 on defense, I think she'd get a chance to be a more flexible offensive player here. Although you'd like her shooting percentages to go up if she wants to spend more time outside. (Was only 26% from three, 40% from the field at OSU.)Read through the thread on her on the OSU forum. In summary they think she's leaving because 1) she didn't get enough minutes and 2) she didn't want to play as a traditional 5 on offense. She would definitely play as the 5 here, but maybe because of the fluidity of the offense she would feel more comfortable. Kane stepped outside the arc a few times. With a higher level athlete they could probably do that more often?
They were on my radar (like Brown) but nothing beyond that.While we usually don't hear much before a transfer in is actually announced, this weekend is the first weekend that actual campus/school visits are permissible if what I read online is accurate.
Last year, did anyone have any inkling that we were getting Diew or Jordao? Actual question and not rhetorical cause I don't remember one way or the other.
I didn't recall hearing anything about either, specifically, before the official announcements were made that they were joining the program. I'm not as in the loop as I used to be, either. Once in a while, I get a good nugget of info, but really not much these days.While we usually don't hear much before a transfer in is actually announced, this weekend is the first weekend that actual campus/school visits are permissible if what I read online is accurate.

That was fast. I'll add her to the original post now.I'm not adding her to the list yet because there's been no announcement (or even hint) she's in the portal, but Bill is now following Stanford PG Jana Van Gytenbeek and her dad on Twitter.

How do you guys think Soares would transition from the NAIA level to the Big 12? Seems like a big jump.Can you imagine adding Soares to this incredible roster of guards. With Texas and Baylor rebuilding, fun to dream!
