She gets zero money if she doesn’t step on campus. Where exactly are you getting your info from. Seems rumor mill than fact based.
Addie Deal enters transfer portal
- Thread starter kdhawk_rivals345464
- Start date
Already heaping those expectations, huh? That's on you. No pressure, McKenna.
Exactly. This is the ;point after all. This isn't going on in a vacuum. Poster says he had several conversations with Deals parents and they felt Jan misled them. Then we hear Jans comment about Journey basically playing out of position to what she wanted and expected. Sounds like there's a disconnect between Jan and the players. I guess those "coffee" meetings she has with them are getting much done.
Iowa can release her, and they would. More common with a coaching change though.
I never said she had decommitted, I said this could be a concern. She couldn't be too impressed with all this, especially if there are numerous other departures, not to mention the way we collapsed late in the season. I hope she didn't watch much of that UCLA A-- whooping in the conference tourney.
Exactly. Jan would really have no choice, unless she wanted another mess like the deal with Erod this season.
Hiring an established coach after Bluder retired might have been a good idea?
If the rumors are indeed true, JJ's leash for next season might be pretty short.
I would agree, but she’s not a must keep player
in this new world of NIL free agency rosters are going to flip like this every year
I'd be more concerned about how that conversation between Deals and MW's parents went. (According to the ;poster who talked to them). They felt like Jan "misled them". Then there's the multiple defections, (it would appear), the crap way we played in BOTH UCLA games. (We looked unable to even compete in those games). Remember it was another parent (Bjorns Dad who put Mckenna's dad). on to Iowa in the first place. Maybe he considers all this information.
Damn. She showed real promise after a tough start to the season. This is a big loss.
I hope Jan can get a good portal guard. We had major problems with handling pressure defense.

While I agree, this is just another case where people will act like this is something new , and its Deals fault. This is the game now unfortunately.....
You may want to reread your original post. Stated as more of future fact than individual conjecture.
I would argue she will be the glue player of the next 2 seasons. She is willing to work hard and be fully invested.
???? "Drive to the basket consistently" What? She played like one game (early in the year) where she showed something. The rest of her time was meh.. Never played in a B1G game. So your saying she'd have done that against UCLA, USC, Michigan, etc...?
So none of this is on deal? Who struggled with her weight, her handles, her quickness? Deal wasn’t the real deal and she expected the keys to be handed to her, you earn the keys.
Insinuating Jan misled then though doesn’t seem fair either.
That she wasnt good enough as a true Frosh who probably would have started as a Sophomore for 3 years for a top 15 team? Please explain.
Hard to judge a freshman with limited playing time, but she did not look good when she was on the court.
She will end up at a mid major with less competition.

I worry about that as well. Need to get off to a good start next year and for goodness sakes beat a depleted ISU team at Carver.
This is a big bummer, she showed some flashes this year.
Have to wonder if Woliczko is having any second thoughts

Knowing Jan, she’ll still be forcing the inside passes and not making crooks play defense
Sophie Cunningham famously said when she met Sydney Sweeny "someone left her t*ts at home". Sophie does not have curves, she has a long, lean body.
Neither will her terrible in game Coaching or lack of adjustments
I mean I get trying to leverage Ava as much as possible. She’s great. But it seemed like JJ had no other options offensively. I worry JJ over relies on one player (Lucy, Ava) cause she doesn’t have a creative or free-flowing offense with balance.
She is no Bluder, The quality of in game Coaching and adjustments is glaring since Bluder retired,
I think it is pretty clear that it will be Hays. Journey's dad said she is coming back.
I mean, if it is Ava Heiden I vote we need a new staff.
Meh. That's the thing about buying any player merchandise nowadays.
There's zero loyalty outside of what you're getting paid, now.
You either need to be a fan of a player.............OR..............a fan of a team.
You can "root" for the players on that team in a particular year, but you need to stop being shocked when some of those players aren't there the following year.
I don't feel sorry for anyone that wastes their money on "player-specific merch". I get it, that it's an impulse buy because your children talked you into it, but it should be understood from an early age that players come and go, especially in college as they are supposed to only get 4-5 years. And with the way things are today, it's more like "one-year rentals with the option to renew annually"..............
Unless you or your child can be in control of their emotions enough not to get devastated when a player, whose shirt you bought, leaves after a single season, then I'd recommend people stick to buying TEAM merchandise.
Lasts much longer......or at least you hope it would.
I hadn’t paid attention but it was pointed out by a poster in the lounge that the only teammates that have commented on Addie leaving are Kennise,Teagan and Callie.
The unfortunate thing is the reasons why are too sensitive for message board conversation. It's not as simple as she wanted more playing time so she'll go to a weaker program preferably (for her) closer to California........no, actually, not that simple.
Are you related to Jan or something? Why do you constantly defend her? She gets paid well to do a job and elevate the program. Name one thing she has improved upon since she took over?
