I seriously think the women have about as high of a ceiling as the men going into next season.
2024-25 Roster/Rotation Additions
- Thread starter Cyforce
- Start date
Don't look back, ooh, a new day is breakin'
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind, ooh, where I get taken
The road is callin', today is the day
I can see, it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around
Oh, yes, I will
I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'

One 5th year senior and 11 sophomores/freshmen is definitely a unique roster make-up.
It seems like both the MBB and WBB teams are doing a pretty good job adjusting to the NIL world. TJ not quite as surprised because of his 1st yr rebuild but to see Bill and the ladies adjusting and thriving is great to see as a Cyclone fan.
I go out on Cinco de Mayo and come back to news of Lilly and Lily. What a holiday celebration! I still don’t like Fen and doubt he can deliver a title, but this is a good day for ISU WBB and I sincerely hope he proves me wrong. Go State!
I'm guessing Audi is working on that quick pass back out this summer.
SR - Ryan
JR - Harris, Hare, Hansford
SO - Williams, Jackson, Joens, Brown, Crooks, Taulelei
FR - Tanke, Wilson
So great job by the coach but I hate him and he won't succeed? Is that about it. Sky did not fall last year, sky did not fall this year and yet you still talk down the coach whenever you can.
The challenge of this recruiting success is PT! Hopefully coaches are ready to change philosophy and capitalize.
We know we have some major offensive dynamics to work with and mesh. If we can, which is likely, build a complementary Defense, there is no telling what this team is capable of.
I guess I got confused when I saw that Triple H were all SO this past season.
Just wait, Hansford is going to play *too much* and run off current players.
Obviously barring no crazy injuries, this team should win the Big 12 IMO.....the most stacked roster we've had in quite a while
Long term benefit…just need to keep filling in on the backside.
I see the "IC" affects your brain whether you admit it or not.
Google Lilly Taulelei to get even more excited.
She is much quicker and more mobile than Natabou...actually she is much quicker than most posts our women have had in years.
I realize it is New Zealand, but she has been playing varsity and national club-level basketball since she was 13. Her numbers at UMass are not great, but her earlier videos show that she can run, dribble, pass, and shoot from beyond 5 feet (including 3s). One year she was 80% on FTs, her shooting stroke looks very solid. She will likely not be a prime scoring option for ISU, but teams will have to guard her when she is in the game.
I saw a move that reminded me a bit of the Georges Niang spin move to get around the defender.
I think she will do much more for ISU in her career than "let Audi rest for a few minutes".

So “Senior Night” next year will be “Emily Ryan Night”. Nice! It will be a well deserved celebration of all she has brought to this program.
