Clone WBB on a crazy Train of winning

Now watching Texas vs KSU.

Post-game Fritz was hugging coaches and players so it was not a bad return. However, when Natabou tries to approach Fritz, she runs off and seems overcome with emotion and ignores Isnelle.
Haven't read the whole thread yet but she also bumped shoulders with AJ in line.

I was stunned he didn't get a T, I'm really grateful he didn't we needed every point today.
I think he knew he had a freebie to go off a bit since the refs knew they'd f***ed up so egregiously, twice, at that point.
Wonder if this was due to something in the game. Since they weren't teammates last year.
The rumor I've heard on last year was some of the team wasn't super-happy about Ash coming back for another year. I won't speculate on why, but maybe there was some drama/resentment stemming from that?

I don't know if I agree with this because once Ashley decided to return, they could have left after that. They all seemed to get along well. I will say I also heard that one of the reasons Aubrey left was her minutes would go way down with Fritz coming back from injury. Little did she know, she could have stuck that out one more year. But I am also of the opinion that Aubrey wanted to leave to spread her wings and have her own identity. JMO

I wonder how much of it was what Baylor offered, being back in the south or how much of it was she saw the freshman coming?

you were close!
I have done well predicting upsets, margins and final scores for the WVU and Baylor games. My comments are on page one of both game threads - I should have opened an on-line gambling account as I'm on fire! The young women have won me over and I believe!

On the flip side, my prediction of 17 regular season wins, made prior to the beginning of the conference schedule, is now looking suspect. As I'm superstitious, I'll say nothing more at this point and hope the board has the opportunity to poke fun at me for my initial doubt. Go State!

Fritz would probably be the third-best player at best on a hypothetical no-transfers 2023-24 ISU team (behind Ryan and Donarski). Certainly no higher than that at Baylor either. What are players like that commanding in "NIL" these days?

I am at the gym coach Schaben teaches at and she said that Ashley made about 30k last year. I doubt Fritz got an NIL offer; it was probably that she didn't feel like she was a fit here anymore.

AJ? The only AJ we have on the team is Ariana Jackson. What beef would they have? Sounds dubious.

These "rumors" reek of message board heresay.
