Quick Nikki Moody update

[IanSmith]

Hey Fanatics,

Here’s a quick update on guard Nikki Moody. I caught up with her on Tuesday night, and from the sounds of it, I really think you’ll really like her game.

Asked to describe how she plays, she put it simply, “fast.” Moody played point guard at Euless High School, but her quickness won't limit her to that role at Iowa State. She should be a factor at both the point and two-guard for the Cyclones next season.

Moody’s high school team lost in the first round of the playoffs this year, but it wasn’t because of her. This season, Moody averaged more than 17 points per game even though she was the focus of the other team's defense.

Moody – who stands 5-feet, 9-inches – plans on arriving in Ames in June to take summer classes and start preparing for the season. She said the one thing she is most excited about is playing for Bill Fennelly. The Hilton Crowd was second on that list.

The future Cyclone will wear No. 4 at Iowa State and is still undecided on a major.

Thanks Ian!

Hopefully wearing the #4 means she'll follow in the footsteps of Lacey and Frese.

Interesting that we're dusting off Alison Lacey's number only two years removed. Tribute? Coincidence?

Do we retire jerseys or numbers?

She already knows what jersey number she will be wearing? do they get to pick or how does that work?

Jerseys. Tonya Burns was #42, which Z is wearing. Brittany Wilkins continued to wear #51 after Taylor's was retired.

Here's an article that makes the distinction. Welle's jersey was retired after the article was written.

They can probably pick any available number. The four signees have probably discussed amongst themselves which numbers they want.

Great find - I continue to be impressed by your ability to recall and to retrieve such information.

I'm just a really fast researcher. I got the numbers of the retired jerseys from the online media guide, and the old rosters are up at cyclones.com.

Sounds like she can come in and play and learn for a season with Loz and Chas coming back, then takeover the PG for three years.
