Hannah Stuelke?

FWIW she was dressed and looked ready to go, but spent most of warmups rebounding directly under the bucket. Looked like she thought she could go but then the staff thought it best just to rest her, so I’m assuming it’s a minor tweak. She was on the end of the bench from the jump but actively cheering and didn’t appear ill.
ICYMI Hannah’s dad had a little post-game Tweet storm. Have to wonder if he’s the only one unhappy with how Hannah’s being used? He’s since deleted these tweets, but still insists Hannah had to delete IG due to disrespectful Hawkeye fans. Looks like her IG is still there though?Hannah must be black and blue after all the shoulders the Buckeye center threw into her sternum. It was appalling that nothing was ever called. Besides "fouls" on Hannah, that is.
I like Hannah as a player. Not sure she can shoot the 15 footers well enough to play on perimeter. Her driving skills seem improved but still average level. After CC leaves, Lisa may look at changing offense set up to cater to Hannah’s skills
I thought Hannah did exceptionally well defending the post on Sunday, and I’ve grown comfortable w/ expecting her lightning-quick hands to grab her share of boards and force turnovers on D. I noticed she was on another level defensively w/o foul trouble in a game called - well, if not tight - carelessly.
Don’t like the idea of the team breaking up over who is being favored for the next level. It’s easy to forget Hannah’s only in her second year, and she’s already shown Keegan-type improvement from year one to year two.
In hindsight I wonder if her dad saw this as a chance to show she should’ve gotten freshman of the year over McMahon. Or maybe he was overly sensitive about Hannah’s free throws. FWIW I put that loss on CC. We want it in her hands late but she turned it over a couple times and pulled from very deep when it seemed like driving to the bucket was the play. In any event, glad he deleted the posts above and hope Hannah is either happy with her role or comfortable enough to voice any concerns with the staff. I don’t doubt for a second they’d be willing to tweak things if they thought they were at risk of her transferring. I expect a CC-less squad next year to be built around showcasing Stuelke.

I love Hannah's dad with all his passion. I wish he would stay off social though. I thought the Hawks would go with Addie, who is coming on lately, and Hannah together. I think McMahon is more skilled around the basket, and not because Iowa is retarding Hannah's growth. She has to work on her mid range jumper, as mentioned, and more driving moves. Clark apparently told her to study Draymond Green during the off season.I think a nagging leg injury is also holding her back. People are over reacting to this lose and blowing off steam. I think Hannah will be ok. And I trust Bluder's staff to optimize her talent.
