Well if that's the case, I hope she finds a school that she can excel at PG if thats her desire. Guess we should be glad we had her for 3 years then, if thats the only reason. Her and Emily always seemed together as teammates. Wish her nothing but the best.
(Is that better CloneJD?)
As a Roosevelt dad I hope a consolation is that this frees up some minutes for Ariana Jackson next year. She’s not as skilled offensively as Lexi but she may be a better athlete. Great kid from a great family.
If it is locker room related then I feel as though it happened during that 3-game losing streak and culminated with the loss at WVU (where MEM stayed behind in Ames).
Also, aren't Lex and MEM best friends?

I don't believe it's locker room related in that there were issues between the girls. I think the girls were all really close. I think it was locker room related in that the head coach pushed many of them too far. And with player mobility being what it is, there just isn't a reason to continue to put up with that as a player.
I would also say I'd look real hard at how the staff is comprised. With one assistant being a son and the others being such long time assistants, I'm not sure there's much of an outlet for the girls to express their troubles.
I hope JP has a quiet sit-down with the athletes and find out reasons for the transfers out.
I knew a former player that said Bill can burn players out hard. This player did play a lot and the grind that he puts on the young ladies, kills a lot of the fun they have playing. She may just be tired and wants to enjoy the last year or two.
She was my favorite. Stuff like this really questions me on being a fan of anything. I give up. This kind of stuff was happening basically just with players on pro teams when I was going up and into adulthood. Now how can one expect to follow any college program where the best players can just leave at the drop of the hat? Lexi, you broke my heart
Not asking for Lexi to explain to fans. Thankful for what she has given to ISU.
But if this is NIL/pay to play related.. I have a hard time not feeling like a shareholder and owed an explanation
Good point. They had Louisville chasing them all night. Really should have won that game. Pohlman is a good coach who you never see getting all red in the face while screaming and spitting in player’s faces during timeouts. I can think of a coach who’s been doing that for years.
That could help. ADs office should always be curious for that info but this just isn't that unusual anymore.
Late 50's...so? He could want to coach another 10 years, we don't have to have another 'lifer' but new blood, possibly. Main thing would be recruiting.
I didn't mean issues between players.
When Joens announced she was coming back last year I kind of got the feeling that not everyone was thrilled with it. (Not an issue with Joens per se but that the offense was going to be run through her at the expense of others.)
I'm guessing someone who donates at my level will never hear those type of answers though
I spoke to the mother of a player. It came as a shock to Lexi's teammates.
