Portal doesn't open until early April. Teams may be leary to bring her in if she truly has back issues.

You truly are driftless. Have you seen McKenna shoot? Addie will be a major contributor next year. A PG to backup Chit Chat and a shooting wing is our biggest need.
Thats only a percentage higher than Ava and Ava didn't did it without bullying her way over defenders.
Good for Kennise! I hope she finds the best spot for herself and has a good year. She's been a pretty good teammate from what I've observed. I hate to see anyone leave, but in her case I think it's great!
What purpose would that serve? You think that's the way to play, I just disagree.
You implied that it helped Audi score more, and scoring is the point after all.
The operative phrase is "I think". Assumption is the mother of all F-ups.

Emely if she fully committed to the team. We need a player with size that can drive and finish.
I don't know what can be done to counter the downsides of Audi. She can't play with Heiden and I don't see her playing 20 minutes per game.
I think Audi would hamper the team in the long-run, and I don't see her making much difference when it comes to competing for championships.
Say Audi transferred to Iowa at the start of this year. What is Iowa's ceiling? I'd say pretty similar.
We will have neither. Audi will go somewhere and get overpaid for a mediocre team. Emely will too but not as much
Easy answer. Unfortunately, the fans on this board couldn’t handle another high scoring smiler.
The magical medical switch just got flipped on. She'll get a medical redshirt and get three years someplace other than Iowa. It is really too bad, heck of a athletic talent but probably too much of a free wheeler who thinks score first. I think McCollom has the perfect phrase, a servant mentality. Never thought about that term but CC had that mentality. She had double digit assists along with her scoring. What makes her great is she makes others around her better.

I wish you would cease and desist with the Audi to Iowa jibberish. Ava was all Big Ten. Led us in scoring and is a solid rebounder. She also runs the floor like a gazella. We don't need Crooks plodding down the court trailing the play.
Emely in a new york minute. Audi does one thing, bully her defender. No defense, no helping. I will take an athlete every time
This board's obsession with Emely is borderline psychotic.
On X, Talia Goodman has compiled a list of "Best Available WBB Transfers.'' There are several former 4 and 5* recruits. With due diligence and film research, I would hope that JJ and the ***'t coaches can reel in two of the guards listed.(Obviously, more women are entering the portal daily). The list is impressive and several of the names have been looked at by the Iowa staff before.
this auto censor has me dyingIMO - Crooks is great within 5’ of the basket but what she has on offense is the exact opposite on defense and hustle. Lots of standing and watching players driving right past her on defense. I wonder what her net difference is on offense to her defense. Hawks can do better.
There might be a reason besides the coach that so many ISU players have declared for the portal. Any guesses? 
She has some skills others do not- handles, and a willingness to drive and then get the shot off
Too bad she has less of a willingness to pass the ball and had almost as many turnovers as made baskets while shooting 38% in her last 5 games. Of course she did shoot 14% from beyond the arc and had a negative assist to turnover ratio so I guess...

Ahh, there it is!! Now we know who the real low-brow is!! Thanks for outing yourself yet again.
I hope the **** coaches just randomly pick names that they think sound cool and go after them.
Due diligence sounds like to much work.

They are tired of throwing the ball into the black hole?
Illini perhaps the likely destination, now that the SEC didn't work out.
