You don't think there could be a connection to his "on the court" blowups at his players?
It will be interesting to follow the career of Crooks.
If sitting by and watching internet cowards casually try to destroy someone's life is what it takes to prove that I'm not a "snowflake", then I am fine with whatever name you want to call me.
I already know what's wrong with this country and it's not some random key board warrior.
Your judgement seems fantastic. My work is done here. Consider no longer being a bad person.
Sorry if I offended you.
Yeah, it’s pretty clear to me that ISU was always Crooks’ first choice due to her AAU affiliation and wanting to be close to home. She has experienced loss in her family so I get wanting to stay close. That said…she certainly is putting her development at risk by going to ISU. By his own fans’ admission, BF does not know how to utilize posts (among other issues, on both ends of the court). This, opposed to Jan Jensen the post whisperer. But this wouldn’t be the first time she did that, since she forewent AIA for CySelect, again out of loyalty. Just hard to see her reaching her ceiling on her current trajectory. She will certainly start for ISU next year — along with, I would think, Ryan, Fritz, Diew and a freshman— sounds like a potential recipe for a Minnesota-like team, but probably with a higher ceiling. Crooks will have a LOT to learn tho.
I may have missed a comment or two but I believe this discussion centers on CBF/staff/his top players not being accepting of LGBTQ athletes (I assume Donarski identifies as something other than straight).
Brian Joens will demand that Kelsey is the focal point next season.
Based on comments I’ve seen, this sounds about right. It seems he keys in on one or two top players, runs the O thru them, and doesn’t give anyone else the green light to find a flow. Ironically tho, that seems to be why Aubrey Joens transfered out. Her mother was quoted as saying she was tired of being instructed to just sit at the perimeter and wait for the ball to shoot a 3. She wanted to “play basketball, not stand around and wait.”
I read comments from ISU fans laughing at the nepotism within the Hawks football program.
I'm sorry but can we please not speculate on the sexualities of 20 year old girls based on nothing other than trash message board rumors? That's weird behavior for me.
Is that not what they’re saying on their message boards? Correct me if I’m wrong but I didn’t see anything about there being “sexual overtones” in the program on their message board (i.e., something predatory), only people heavily implying the other, less tolerant, extreme and pointing to Donarski’s departure as a consequence. A + B likely equals C in this scenario, as I don’t know why else their own (distraught, invested) fans would suggest such a thing.
ISU is such an east target because their fans are hypocrites.
To add to that David Carr loses in wrestling and the mighty football team goes 4-8.
Hey stinky isu could have come up with AMF but isu athletics was so bad Hayden felt like Iowa needed to do what little bro isu couldn’t, actually generate some publicity for the American Farmer.
You don't like my POV so you attack me personally??
Back then, no one would have seen the ISU helmet decal. 1-10/2-9 teams don’t
Yep clown fans are really sensitive about ANF. What I don’t get is why they are so touchy about it? isu sucked at everything when Hayden came up with it . The only publicity isu would have garnered was when they would have played in Iowa City as back then just like today the Big Ten had much more TV exposure .
I think ISU fans are hoping good times are ahead when the two Big Dogs leave for the SEC.
Must be time for stinky to run away and hide. Probably better then facing the reality of ANF and why isu couldn’t pull it off. It would have been as successful as crybaby Brent Blum’s “ we will collect cans” collective.
Oh I'm not at all saying there's anything wrong with it!!! Far from it. I am gay. I just don't think it's our place to speculate, which includes "interpreting" cryptic message board rumors. There's an element of privacy that that violates, for me.
Shame on them for that. Hope it's not still happening.
However, I’ve also wondered about Fennelly’s bright red nose and if any connection to drinking alcohol?
You think a player would ever say, 'Ya - I'm transferring to XYZ State because I get more money'? Truth is, Lexi could be perfectly happy, but is transferring because she's been promised more money to play some place else. And it's not breaking any rules. That's the sickening state of college athletics. (Something's up at ISU. Just taking the opportunity to b*tch.)
Certainly would explain the sideline antics.
Hurts clown fans so much that when confronted with the reality of where isu and Iowa were in the 1980’s they realize how petty their arguments are so their best move is to run off and hide from it.
