My guess is something like no gay girls allowed.
The riddle may be tightening, but why would a poster say Lexi is in the portal because of the ‘Iowa State way’?
Not sure I remember the article.
There can also be multiple parts of "The Iowa State way" for those that are curious.
I just know one specific thing that's discussed by other teams, players, recruits and it's a cave topic. (And it may not even matter in Lexi's case)
Look, I'd just post it, and I'm not trying to be an ass here but there's been posters that whine and cry if anything gets close to a cave topic in a general thread.
No clue. It’s not like Lexi found out about the Iowa st way this week. She’s been in the program for years now.
How about these players suck it up and play ball. Ooops. Anyone see UConn or the dude from Louisville girls transferring? Maybe our girls are just soft
He berated her on the bench and made her cry.
If you’ll act the way he does at times in games, you can imagine how hard he can be to deal with at practice.
I do like how every year there’s like two people who just close their eyes and plug their ears and act like the dude always acts appropriately.
You’d cry or quite in the first week of Bill Fennelly practices.
To cap a depressing night CC and EIU just advanced to the Elite 8 ……
No idea if this is at all related to Lexi leaving.
If Bill was polled by the Des Moines Register he would probably approve of the legislature.
The rumors I've heard aren't those 2 but regarding sexuality. Strictly rumor as far as I know. I go to games and post on CF, after that I'm in the dark I'm not a private social media following person.
If someone knows different post it and stop talking innuendo. IMO.
It's hard to know for sure. But there seem to be several former players and people around the program who are gay and still feel OK about the program.
Shocking. Knew nothing about Iowa State until seeing Lexi play in high school and being eager to watch her in college. The speed and the defense alone, worth the price of a ticket. Not sure what to make of the mediocre shooting. Maybe on some level it wasn't the right place for her to begin with and that kind of stress can affect your shooting. Seemed like a very good shooter in high school.
As for those who say she has elite offensive skills or potential and wasn't allowed to show it, I just don't see it. From what I saw, she has next to no moves other than speed. She often picks the right time to drive to the basket using her speed and beats the defender, but if she doesn't and is cut off she has nothing to fall back on. In that situation she typically ends up throwing up a completely forced shot that has zero chance of going in.
You look at Clark or Grace Berger, when they're cut off on the dribble they have two or three or four counter moves to make freeing themselves up, Lexie has none of this, except she does have the one move where she starts right and comes quickly back left and creates space to get off her shot. Maybe the potential is there for more moves and she just needs someone to work with her that's possible but the most likely thing, my opinion, is that if you've been playing this long and haven't really developed any moves, you probably don't have it in you. Would like nothing better than to be wrong about that and I will definitely be watching wherever she goes.

I practiced with them a few years back. It isn’t that bad lol
If players are discriminated against for any reason except sucking at basketball, I am pissed the AD doesn’t do something about it.
Tracy Gahan had a successful career with us
