WBB: 2023-24 Former Cyclones Now at Other Schools Tracker

[BoxsterCy]

There is a similar "tracking" thread for MBB transfers and I saw a list @iccyfan had in a post in another thread and think it was enough for it's own thread. Here's iccyfan's list:

• Morgan Kane and Madison Frederick at Nova Southeastern
• Maggie Espenmiller-McGraw at Montana
• Kylie Feuerbach at Iowa
• Aubrey Joens at Oklahoma
• Lexi Donarski at UNC
• Denae Fritz at Baylor
• Maggie Vick at Pepperdine

This isn't a thread to diss the transfers or speculate on why they left, plenty of that in the individual transfer threads for each player. If you have no interest in them, fine, just don't spam the thread.

Lexi is one of six 5 Star recruits on the UNC squad. Has ISU totaled that many five star recruits in women's program history? In her first game for UNC, Lexi started and played 19 minutes in a 102 - 49 W over Gardner Webb, chipping in 14 points and 2 assists. UNC had six players in double figures.

Transfer Donarski true two-way player, game-changer for UNC

CHAPEL HILL — Lexi Donarski, one of North Carolina’s six former five-star recruits, brings many qualities to Chapel Hill. A true two-way player, tenacious on defense with a diverse offensive skill …

Don't forget Maggie Vick at Pepperdine.

Don't forget Maggie Vick at Pepperdine.

Maggie had 8 points and 5 boards in 26 minutes off the bench in Pepperdine’s win over UC Irvine Tuesday.

An interesting side note, the team’s head coach resigned in August before coaching his first game due to family reasons.

Okoboji native and former Drake player Kelsey Keizer was elevated to interim head coach. Keizer has spent the last nine years as head coach of Division II Southwest Baptist in Bolivar, MO. With her move to head coach she brought in former Drake teammate Monique Jones as an assistant coach.

Edited to add. Thanks!

Wasting time before dinner, I pulled up the Pepperdine / Cal Irvine WBB game replay on ESPN+. The Anteaters are defending West Coast Conference champs and jumped out to leads of 12-0 and 17-2. Maggie Vick, now with black hair, was first sub off the bench, and a steadying influence. She made 4 of 5 shots as Pepperdine came back to win. It’s good to see her having success!

In other news, Pepperdine coach Kelsey Keizer is pleasant to watch as she patrols the sideline!

Aubrey having a good first half against number 12 Ole Miss. 7 points and 3 rebounds. OU down 1 at half, 39-38.

Her finals for 16 min 9 pts 6 reb looked a lot like her ISU stats.

Big win for Sooners, beating #12 on the road.

If there are any hardcore Maddie Fred and / or Morgan Kane fans out there, it appears you can stream the Nova Southeastern WBB games here:

Go Sharks! Even the grumpy people on this site who don't care (after the player has left ISU) must have a soft spot for Morg & Fred!!!

I only have issues with those who transfer to a team we have on our schedule. For them I hope they spend a lot of time on the bench.

I'm one of the "grumpy people" if the former Clone I rooted for ends up playing for a team in our conference or becomes a filthy Hok. So, when it comes to Kylie, Aubrey & Denae...while I hope they complete their educations and have a great & successful life outside of basketball (which are obviously more important things than sports), I wouldn't tear up if their athletic careers went down in smoke.

BUT the others are another story. I was definitely going to keep an eye on Montana, Pepperdine & probably UNC, though I never imagined ever seeing any Nova Southeastern ball, so thanks for the link!

Except Aubrey but only because I liked watching her get schooled by Ashley last year and hopefully Kelsey this year. 4 points in 41 minutes across 3 games against us last year.

Nova Southeastern begins its season with two home losses in a tournament. Maddie Fred is in the starting lineup but no Morgan Kane sightings.

Fritz had 2 points tonight in Baylor's win over Utah. Spent the entire second half polishing the bench. Sad to see someone who would start for the Cyclones transfer then not play.

As an aside, Utah has a center, Pili, who physically reminds me of Crooks. Only 6'-2" but had 22 points (9 of 11) all in the second half. Smooth player like Crooks but 22 years old.

Watching Montana vs #24 Washington State. Maggie Espenmiller-McGraw started for the Grizzlies.

Morgan is still on the roster, so I'm guessing she's fighting injuries. She's hard-working, reliable, talented, and tall, so there's absolutely no reason for her not to start, let alone play,

Interesting game is at Montana. Not many power 5's play these games on the road.

I saw Macy’s already out for the season.
