Football will get it first. Doubt much is left after that if anything. Rick Heller has said baseball is left out in the cold mostly and there were his guys out east playing in the summer leagues that were offered by other schools but they turned the money down.
Betts was never coming to Iowa, she was famously seen fighting with Iowa fans in defense of Angel Reese. She transfered from San Fran to LA. Furthermore I’ve heard absolutely nothing about UCLA having impressive NIL opportunities for WBB tbh. Iowa never had a shot. It was not a fit.
Ogrady started 2 of the 3 games as well as the crossover. She had a great stat line in one but that didn’t mean much considering the competition.
All Iowa wbb players were able to earn up to $15k thru the Swarm last year. The only school I’ve heard of who provides this opportunity to their WBB players is South Carolina (it’s much more there actually). It’s pretty good overall tbh. I don’t think any other B1G schools, for example, offer anything. LSU, UConn offer one or two players big packages, but Bluder has instructed the Swarm to distribute funds equally to all kids. Clark opted out for obvious reasons.
Free throws attempted directly correlates to the player's ability to take the ball to the hoop. 3 attempts 28 games into the season shows Gabby is a completely one-dimensional offensive player; I can't believe our coaching staff doesn't work on this with every single player. If there's at least some threat you may take it inside two things happen, both good: 1) defense won't play you quite as tight on the 3-point line, and 2) you'll shoot more FT's.
There were more than just 2-3 posts in the portal who would have been a decent upgrade from our current stiffs.
Yeah because Bluder and Calapari are so similar lol
"stiffs" ? They're Iowa players. Critique their play but please don't call them names.
Absolutely.
You have been responding to me and everyone else this whole time.
So you honestly think it’s just a few slimy coaching staffs that let players on other rosters know they’re interested? I’m not talking about direct contact…but via a former club teammate on your roster, their old club coach, etc?
Since you’re not a player, does that mean I can both critique your moronic posts AND call you out as a Snowflake?
Lol you are a weirdo. I think last year's team is better than this year's. Chad, I'm done here... go take your medicine.
But if we have all those people you mentioned, why is Gabby still starting and getting 25 min/game, when she supplies no offense? And doesn’t draw fouls? McCabe makes 45% of her 3s—and you don’t see a significant role for her? Instead, you’d rather have a 30% Marshall putting up those shots?
All kinds of teams know how to use clock. Look at Dr. Tom's teams at Iowa. His first teams with BJ, horton, Marble, etc would fast break all the time yet late in games with a lead they would go into a motion offense looking to milk clock until they got a very high percentage layup type of shot or they would take a decent jumper as the clock shot expired.
This team isn't going to make a deep run because they are going to lock teams down; they would make a deep run by outscoring people, plain and simple. Get offense on the floor. In #2's minutes the defense hugs on to her which allows Clark room to work. The defense doesn't do that with 24. And she won't take the big shots either.
I don't think anyone is playing all that great defensively lately. We were in zone a good bit of the game yesterday and were still letting their Gs penetrate and get to the lane without much trouble. That can't happen. I don't see defense as being the key reason for keeping any of the current starters on the floor.
If everyone is going to be playing equally mediocre defense, we may as well get players out there who bring more of an upside offensively.
I get you are an apologist, every message with you is the same. you bring up TO - McCabe in Big 10 play is 12:1 assist to turnover ratio. she has 1 TO in Big 10 play. Marshall's isn't bad either, but they just don't throw her the ball anymore. What else you got.
