I really think Addie would be a better fit with the Cyclones. They've lost a ton of players in the portal and she would certainly be a starter with them. With her parents now living in Iowa and her brother at Grinnell, ISU sounds like a logical fit. Really liked Addie and I think the high expectations for her became her undoing. Some of the fan base road her constantly and perhaps that became too much for her and her family.
Addie Deal enters transfer portal

Wait a minute...a guy that stands to collect a percentage of the players NIL payout is an actual voter on who the brightest stars, and in turn more valuable "properties", are in the NIL market? (Honest question, don't know.)
If so...I wonder if it ever crossed his mind to um, say, give her the benefit of the doubt when assigning stars, etc. "Hype" this video!!! /sarc
I checked out his (and his business) Instagram pages..........shady is about the best thing I can say about his 'system'.......Based on her play this season, we speculated someone w/ a vested interest was promoting/exaggerating her abilities and that appears to be spot-on.
5-star doesn't mean what it used to mean.
You can still get Brock Harding gear on Iowa’s NIL page.
anyone remember the tweet that Rodriguez sent then deleted?
was something like “I didn’t come up here to sit behind Kylie fuuuckibg Feuerbach”
I think that’s what got her suspended initially even though Jan won’t say it.

A lot of people on here are enamored with Emely. I'm not in that group and I don't expect her back.
I wasn't aware of that. Did that actually happen?
Wow, that's wild. Truly. This whole thing might be making more sense now. I was not aware of this dynamic.
"Allow me to help you Mr. and Mrs. Deal. Your daughter is a rare talent and "fill in the blank" (in this case Iowa/JJ) apparently can't see her potential. But allow me to shop her talents to somewhere that does see her as a true 5 star. Blah, blah, blah. I wasn'tgoingto tellyouthis...but she is worth so much more than Iowa will give her."
I suddenly feel sorry for the young lady, aka. "the Product". Wow again.
I can make numbers look back to...
Turnovers
Stremlow - 81 leads the team
Deal - 59 alot less than Stremlow....
see how easy that is to do....
Fact is JJ let Strem make to after to and stay in the game...Deal does it and gets jerked out....who wouldn't love to have a coach like that? But you never once saw anything but positive attitude out of deal on the floor and bench. Yet people want to make up their opinions of how moody she was or how entitled she is without a fing clue what is actually going on...it is stupid!
You are killing me. If you spent any time watching you saw Strem going through ups and downs but generally earn minutes with stringing plus plays at crucial times on offense and defense. Deal rarely strung successes together and when she did, she was given the opportunity on the west coast trip and did not produce.
For the record, in that discussion, I wasn't saying I was told or thought she was moody. I was told she was unhappy all year but I didn't take that as being moody, because I saw the same thing you did during games.
You can choose to ignore the reality, but Stremlow was a much, much better player this year and the numbers bear that out 100%. I have no idea what kind of person she is. I don't really care, but her performance on the court did NOT suggest more minutes, and again the minutes she received were adequate given her level of play.
I call BS until you produce it (or even a vague mention of it). No way a tweet like that hits for even seconds and nobody snaps a shot and shares it.
Go listen to the Hawk Fanatic show on KCJJ’s YouTube page. Tom Suter mentions it and said he saw it.
She certainly has the size and needed skill set, but her lack of maturity and resistance to coaching or learning an offensive system are major issues to overcome
It's like having a car with flashy horsepower #s but without the proper drivetrain and tires, its useless. Ppl always get caught up on the former
I would have liked to have seen more of her play. The Baylor game had everything on display.
Just asked about Emely staying. "No way. Bye bye. (with a sarcastic wave)"
Still find it odd how this whole Rodriguez thing transpired. Not sure why she didn’t just leave after the break. The whole thing just makes no sense.
I think the nucleus of the team with Ava, Journey, CCW, and Stremlow is an excellent starting point for a team that achieved a 2nd place finish this year. The only significant offensive production that's been lost so far is Hannah and I think Journey and Woliczo can produce at that level. Iowa needs a couple of guards from the portal and I'm confident, given the last 2 adds of Lucy and CCW that Iowa can exceed the contributions of Emely, KF, and McCabe who contributed almost nothing offensively during conference play.
If I was to guess, it was a negotiated settlement to Increase the odds of a medical redshirt being granted.
Bud, you cant actually be this dense right? Do you really not understand raw vs per min stats? Converted to an equivalent per 40 min stat, the TOs are 4.4 to 4.5 for Stremlow/Deal respectively. As Jonesy already pointed out, all Stremlows other stats are much better and she is completing many more assists with those TOs (which noticeably improved over the year)
Or dont take our word for it and look at comprehensive advanced stats like win shares: (defined as "an estimate of the number of wins contributed by a player")
Stremlow 3.2
Deal 0.6
Please feel free to give us a clue to what is "actually going on" that we are all supposedly missing
(Addie expressed disappointment she wasn't playing more.) Did she or did her agent express disappointment? Things are adding up to one particular agent with multiple clients in the portal including both Deal and Levin. He was losing $ on his clients.
I think she's a problem and needs to go be someone else's problem.
Yea agreed, but the Miami game highlighted all of her flaws. She almost single-handedly lost us that game with those insanely bad decisions to drive recklessly into defenders when every possession mattered down the stretch. Combine that with the reported attitude issues, especially if she was calling our other teammates, and that explains her being buried. I suspect it was more the later, otherwise we would've at least seen her with getting time in blowouts. Felt like an egregious team infraction that was being punished
Do you mean the game where she went 2-9 and turned it over 6 times in 16 minutes of play?
Yea, tough to say without being in the room to see it all. But it certainly seems that way and its weird how so many ppl cling to her like she is the obvious answer to our team needs without seeing the big picture
Agents are defiantly not helping anything ....
You got to wonder how much they are really pushing players to move on.....as in if you want to keep me as an agent its time to move schools??
Actually yes. It was a train wreck of epic proportions. I remember watching it especially when she went 1 on 5 late in the game. You have to admit you couldn’t stop watching! lol.
I agree. I was never in the room and only have the history of known events and comments from staff to go by, but one thing is certain in my mind. Emely played like she was the only player on the court at times and there was friction between her and the staff at a minimum. Her absence solely due to injury is suspect at best. Put all of this together and IMO she and the team could use a separation to put all of this behind them.
I think the “2nd place finish” and 2 seed might be clouding judgments. It’s easy to assume that the high seed means the core is “strong.”Their best B10 wins were all at home.
iIowa finished 10-5 to close the season and looked putrid in the last win against a bad opponent. Teams adjusted to JJs one dimensional style, overreliance on Ava, and lack of talent and shooting and athleticism everywhere but especially in the backcourt.
I think the core is vastly overrated and a huge question mark. Ava is the only player and CCw to some degree that I think you can really count on for certainty. Maybe Journey develops a handle and perimeter skills. Maybe MW is ready to contribute right away.
Iowa will need to make a big splash in the portal.
