tee tee starks to have surgery wednesday

Well, poop.
At least the timing is so that if she cannot comeback this season she is still eligible to "recover" this year of eligibility. Better than at mid-year.
Going into Big 12 with zero depth at guard. :sad:

Tiny bit more info from the Ames Tribune http://amestrib.com/sports/women-s-...gery-pursue-medical-redshirt#overlay-context=
Like others have pointed out, this team is sure jinxed by the injury bug this year.
Liked watching her play and seeing what she could contribute. Some others on the team will have to step up a bit.

Durr will be getting more minutes for certain. Any more injuries or illness, and we'll be spending more time in the double-post offense, since that's where the depth is at the moment.
Starks must have a very high pain threshold. I watched the game on cy.tv yesterday and didn't notice her limping or hobbling at all. Too bad because those 3 freshmen are really good, Starks, Carleton and Burkhall.

Going to need Durr to step up, last season I had high expectations for her but this season she just hasn't excelled like I was anticipating. With Jadda on the bench feeling under the weather in the second half, coach had Seanna running point for a while and the offence just couldn't find a groove. Plus it took Seanna out of her normal attack mode she plays in. Going to need extended minutes from Jadda going forward and Emily to step up.
Anyways, here's to a smooth recovery for Tee Tee.
That's a bummer for her and the team. Wish her the best with recovery. Hope Emily makes the most of it. She has huge potential, is talented, and thus with more work knowing that she's going to be other there, maybe it will materialize.
Any chance that we could get a junior college point guard to transfer in at semester as a backup? Probably not I suppose. If I were coaching the team, I'd want to get some depth, some way, somehow. Did any of our soccer or volleyball players play guard position?

Carper mentioned tonight on the call-in show we were adding a 13th player at semester. I'm guessing we will see them on Sunday.
I really wish Nakiah Bell would have believed in herself a little more. Interesting to hear of an addition.
Best of luck to Starks and her recovery. That's tough to play through that. We stayed so healthy last year compared to other teams in the conference. Crap.

Alexis Conaway was quite the HS basketball player and a guard. I mean really good. Both Bill and her were quoted last year as saying "We'll see" regarding the possibility of her someday playing some Cyclone hoops.
And she can anchor a 4x400 and high jump if needed. :smile:

I just assumed from Carper's comment that it was the graduated transfer that was mentioned some time ago from Vanderbilt. She is a guard from Wisconsin and would really help our team. But, I could be wrong and Conaway would help us at the 2 and 3 spots. From what I saw of her game during high school she reminds me of Bridget.
Heather Bowe was on schedule to graduate from Vanderbelt this month, enroll at ISU and than sit out a semester and play all of 2016-2017. I think she would be eligible as a graduate to play immediately but that was the not the announced plan. Plus she is another front court player, not where we have depth issues.
I don't have any inside scoop, just the usual Boxster blabbering speculation from 200 miles north of Hilton.
:smile:
Now you went and did it. You've got me all excited that she may come and play for Bill. Thanks a lot, Boxster.
sorry to hear the TT has to have surgery, but better now while she can get a redshirt, and better that she doesn't suffer in pain....
I always thought this would be a rebounding year. I just hope we make the tourney to keep the streak going. I always felt that next year this team could be elite.
