Speedy 6'5" athletes do not come to Iowa State. I am more impressed by Fernstrom than I was Prins. Bry had some decent shots and blocking with some advantage being left-handed. Her record scoring as a Frosh and near record triple double were against lower competition but as a Sophmore she should have been given some credit to grow. Can't say I know why she is leaving but I have my beliefs.
WBB: Fernstrom leaving ISU
- Thread starter mred
- Start date
Here's the deal, recruits and recruits parents know Bill is hard on these kids. They know that when they committ. Trisha Nesbitt, who is from Ames and family is big ISU fans went to Iowa because she knew Bill was tough and didn't want to be coached that way. I respect that. These kids know what they are getting into.
This is a HUGE loss for the rest of the season. Mere is going to be really good but she is definitely not there yet. Claire looks OK out there but definitely not Big 12 OK. He has not given Jordan a chance since she stepped foot on Campus.
He has consistently been very hard on the posts this season. While they have not been great.... the guards have not exactly been lighting the world on fire either.
I guess her not getting the start this last game was the straw that broke the camel's back?

Big yes on the timing since it's after the semester break. Guess this was one of those final straw things. And right after she has a double/double game.
I would have guessed Durr to be this years defection.
They may happen at most schools but WE are in the top 20% of turnover by my estimation. For a great school and great program how is it we can sign a recruit and fail to retain them? If by top program you mean top 10, or even 25 ranking, or win the league or advance to the Elite Eight and beyond - I question that. The Hawkeyes will have an advantage if we look less appealing.

I am actually pretty surprised the Emily is still here. I am glad that she is here. I can really see the positives in her game. I too wish that she was getting more time. I do think she is a lock to start next season with Kidd's departure though.
by your estimation? That sounds like ********. Do you really follow wbb enough to have any clue?

Sat out the fall semester after giving birth to her son Caden Thomas, Oct. 23 ... returned to the Cyclone lineup Dec. 21 vs. Washington ... got her first start vs. No. 15 Oklahoma ... started nine games ... had an outstanding game against No. 2/1 Texas Tech, recording 18 points and five rebounds in 23 minutes ... drained 6-of-9 field goals and all six free-throw tries against the Lady Raiders ... scored 20 of ISU’s 33 total points at Kansas State, an ISU career best ... had 13 points, five rebounds and two blocks against Missouri ... had 12 points in 18 minutes vs. Nebraska ... tallied 11 points, seven rebounds and four blocks against No. 18 Baylor ... posted 11 points, eight rebounds, two blocks and two steals against No. 15 Oklahoma ... recorded eight points and five rebounds at No. 3 Texas ... scored seven points in 12 minutes vs. Eastern Illinois ... recorded six points, four rebounds and three steals against Northern Iowa ... had four points and two rebounds in nine minutes of action vs. No. 23 Washington ... led the Cyclones vs. Kansas State with 12 points.
The top 20 percent of 335 teams? So we could be 67th? These are young adults...things happen. They are not always happy and sometimes they change their mind.
Emily seems to be mentally tough. I think her game will keep getting better. Maybe some of Bry's minutes will go her way. I too think she will be a starter next season.
