Hope these freshman are ready for what’s coming. They should get a ton of minutes. Both good and bad. Kids want to play, but they may be overmatched against experienced opponents.A dose of good medicine after the bitters we have been force-fed.
Pretty sure they will recruit moreWith only 10 players, I certainly hope that they are ready for the Big 12. Actually, we have 9 as King never played meaningful minutes. Maybe some of the Volleyball players will help us out, as this program has done that in the past. No matter what you say or think about Iowa and Iowa State, the two programs are in vastly different places at the moment. The Iowa State Way is looking very old and sad right now.
The transfer portal taketh, and now the transfer portal will giveth.With only 10 players, I certainly hope that they are ready for the Big 12.

I really doubt we pick up 2 players the quality of Donarski an Fritz they are few and far between. I just hope we pick up someone quick, some size, and people that fit in with our system.( I hope our offensive system is adjusted slightly as I hate the 2 or 3 long stretches of no scoring it currently allows/causes.)I hope the giveth is at least somewhat equal to the taketh, or it will be a long sad season.
We definitely will not.I really doubt we pick up 2 players the quality of Donarski an Fritz they are few and far between.

This is why it is not only a bad thing for parity, it is a bad thing I believe was pushed by monied backers of big $$$ schools and media owners to benefit themselves.We definitely will not.
Donarski is good enough to get $.
Not sure about Fritz - as I do not know how much $ goes to the womens game.
I know we do not have the $ to buy anybody.
We are not the bottom of the totem poll when it comes to basketball. The men did take two of the top players from St Bonaventure.This is why it is not only a bad thing for parity, it is a bad thing I believe was pushed by monied backers of big $$$ schools and media owners to benefit themselves.
Yes I agree Bill Fennelly is LOOKING OLD RIGHT NOW!!With only 10 players, I certainly hope that they are ready for the Big 12. Actually, we have 9 as King never played meaningful minutes.

Looking at the NCAA Tourney both WBB and MBB have new faces in the Final Four. After several years of the NIL effect maybe I am off base. Maybe it encourages more local support (money) and causes players to stay close to home where their faces are recognized. Anyway, for now, there is money floating around and it prime to do bad things but so far it has not been what I expected as bad.We are not the bottom of the totem poll when it comes to basketball.

Even if Iowa State had the lowest financial support for Women’s basketball in the P6 (We don’t) there would still be like 250 teams with less support. At the vast majority of schools there is zero dollars for Women’s basketball NIL.
