WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff
- Thread starter BoxsterCy
- Start date
I expect Stanford and Cal athletics to take huge defections. Their sports travel is ludicrous now that they are ACC. Really a killer for “ minor” sports that play lots of games. This whole restructuring Of conferences is vey bad for sports, many participants and ultimately not good for ISU - imho.
Must have been the bomb entry that peeps were hinting about the other day.
Obviously she saw the great ability of Crooks, Brown, and Ryan firsthand and has decided to take her talents to Ames.
Wondering how the portal signings will impact recruiting class rank. ESPN ranks the HS recruits, not sure if ESPN does a HS + portal ranking for the season or not. After the November signings only Baylor was in the Top 25 for the Big 12. Big Ten was raking with 9 schools in the Top 25. On paper the Big 12 is not keeping up, at least for the 2024 class.
ESPN probably needs to reshuffle their list to move UConn and Ohio State up after they got the late signings from #1 Sarah Strong and #3 .Jaloni Cambridge.

Her offer list has exploded. I highly doubt Iowa lands her unless NIL $$$ isn't a top priority, which would be a surprise.
They are at least getting a campus visit which means she is considering them. This isn't HS where kids go on trips around the country with no idea of where they will land, sometimes visit just for the hell of it. This is like years of HS recruiting compressed into a few weeks.
NIL gets overstated a lot for WBB, IMHO. However, since she is a top ten target among the transfers it's fair to assume NIL will play some role.
The challenge is NIL is often regional. Look at the Clark/Crooks NIL deals. Clark had a couple national names but both had many more regional and that is because of name recognition locally. Coming to Iowa would be way out of her realm and NIL would likely suffer as a result. Not completely, but WBB is a different beast for NIL.
Yep…just saw this myself.

Well, if she's a giant flop in the WNBA...
She is in LA already...although living in the valley myself I rarely see any signs of "the industry". My neighbor tells me it's much more hidden now than in the 90s.
If she's really the #2 prospect for her playing abilities it's hard for me to respect the league. I mean the center for South Carolina is way bigger, stronger, similar length, far better hands...seems like kind of a joke for Brink to be #3. Unless she's some kind of 3 point assassin in her other games, I really wasn't seeing it vs ISU.
I wonder how much hometown bias sometimes seeps into it. Probably not a lot, but they see her play more than they'd see Cardoso (who I also believe is much better). Brink is a walking foul from the very limited times I've seen her (twice, admittedly). Honestly could probably make a case that Reese could be better than her, but it'd be on shakier ground.
