    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    Minnesota has been good in the past. If they win, the fans will show up. Appears they made a mistake in their coaching hire. I am not predicting success, only that there are enough kids where money is a high priority, and they will soon have lots of cash. In a couple years we will know how this...

    Intetesting I think we are done recruiting.

    They will soon have enough NIL money to compete - all more than ISU.

    I hope they all sue the state and get a bunch of money and “Give the State the Bird.”

    2024-25 Roster/Rotation Additions

    Your point supports my arguments: 1) we need a secondary guard, playing the same time as Ryan, who can handle the ball. If Ryan handles the ball all the time she will have turnovers. The defense will defend us appropriately. 2) we need a creator! We do not have one. Most of Ryan’s dribbling...

    Joshua Jefferson has committed to Iowa State

    It will be interesting to see how TJ creates a lineup/rotation. I personally think this years model is what he will do. Who exactly starts might be somewhat immaterial. I see the starters as Lipsey, Gilbert, MM, Jefferson and Jackson. Jones with the same role as this year. Matchups and game...

    Fair criticism. I should have said I only have limited observations. From what I have seen, I am not sure she is a ball handler. Hopefully she is the next Tyrese Haliburton.

    I should not have an opinion since I have not seen Tanke play. I do think whoever plays the “2” needs to be a capable ball handler. The burden cannot be shared by Ryan alone. Not convinced Tanke is that person. I think she will get minutes - just not sure she will as a secondary ball handler.

    He would have played Tre Kings role as a 4.

    Maybe - but I doubt we could afford both. No inside knowledge though.

    I posted the rebounding numbers. King was our top guy in rebounds, and if you look at rebounds per minute played he was by far our most productive guy. We need rebounders!

    Speaking of Diew/ can somebody explain her going to Colorado? Happy for her - but seems odd. Colorado has been good for a long time. What do they see in her that we were unable to unlock this year? She did not have a great season for us.

    Totally agree with one exception. I think our dept at center is good / or at least acceptable. Practice wise Rock is a sophomore, and Chatfield is old with lots of experience. Between them I think they will get the job done.

    I think we are going to be very good. Frankly, I am hoping final 4 good. I do not think that is impossible. I think either Kyle or Jefferson get us there. More positional size, great guard court, even better Milan. The portal bigs must come through with interior defense, rim protection...
