Thought I read she has two potentially which would include a Covid year?
Yes, she has only played three seasons, exactly like Clark with the fifth year option.

Big! please...Aren't they friends?
Or maybe I am making that up in my head.
I have.I think the friends angle might be overstated. Respect for each others game - absolutely. I don't think you drop "you're down 15, shut up" on a friend 😂
They were roommates.
Well, I saw grad transfer and immediately thought last year. I thought she was a grade above Caitlin, oops. Still, we don't need her with CC. We could use the other two, especially Betts.Thought I read she has two potentially which would include a Covid year?
I have heard that Iowa does not have any available schollies, is this true? If so, then the only way Bluder gets some of these transfer portal players is to tell some current players to walk, or bring them in as walk ons. Of course, now days with NIL, maybe a walk on could make enough to pay for school and still line their pockets.
Some of the cruelest, meanest, and most rotten things I've ever said were said to my closest friends. And things I said to them on the basketball court were downright evil.I think the friends angle might be overstated. Respect for each others game - absolutely. I don't think you drop "you're down 15, shut up" on a friend 😂
Fire some people.....We had 15 (the maximum) on scholarship this past season.
Molly Davis is listed as a senior but I don't think she's done.
We lose 2 (Monika & McKenna). However, two high school kids are coming in, I believe, so we're back to the maximum of 15 on scholarship.
So, like you said, how could we add Hailey or anyone when we have 0 scholarships available for next season?
Last season's roster:
Yes I’m totally in agreement on that part as well. If a spot should open up we definitely need a post first.Well, I saw grad transfer and immediately thought last year. I thought she was a grade above Caitlin, oops. Still, we don't need her with CC. We could use the other two, especially Betts.
That’s because he lied to Iowa about coming back and tried to make it look like there was no contact between him and Kentucky before he left. It looked way worse then than it does now. Was that right before NIL or after?
Fire some people.....
Not so much fire people, but I expect some to want more PT. It's a natural thing. Time will tell.Fire some people.....
Do you not understand the roster limit is 15, regardless of scholarship or walk on?I have heard that Iowa does not have any available schollies, is this true?

Rosters change. I’m expecting at least 1 spot to open up. If Betts wants to come to Iowa, it will happen.Keep in mind that all 15 scholarships are spoken for. How are they gonna add anyone else?

Well not Oregon then but I think they said her family is still is Wash so maybe she is transferring back there. She has proved herself on the top levels of WBball. Although she might be chasing a ring at UConn etcShe'll go to a Adidas school. Gets NIL money from them.
Apparently not. LOLDo you not understand the roster limit is 15, regardless of scholarship or walk on?
Men act the same way on the court or field. And we call it passion.NIL will probably be the way to get extra players to iowa unless players that won’t play transfer out.
Oh, and HVL appears to be white trash with how she acts on the court. Her Dad looks like a clown too.
Never 0%. A long shot...for sure. But never 0%Yes HVL and CC are friends. She won’t end up at Iowa tho — zero percent chance.
Nope it won’t happen, and even if it did…not sure how well it would work out as they both need/want the ball in their hands to be effective.Probably won’t happen but I’d love to see her play along side Clark.
You might if the other player (in this case Lith) trash talked to you first. 😜I think the friends angle might be overstated. Respect for each others game - absolutely. I don't think you drop "you're down 15, shut up" on a friend 😂
We would not bring back Marshall and Martin for a COVID year if there was any chance we’d seek a guard in the portal. Right now it’s looking like we will need to be creative to even bring in one person, it certainly won’t be a G.Never 0%. A long shot...for sure. But never 0%
If scholly limits were the issue.. CC could definitely pay her own way with NIL $ freeing up a scholly. HVL probably could too...she's a superstar.
Bluder did this the last two seasons. I’ve mentioned a few times now I was very surprised when she announced both Marshall and Martin were returning. When she let Tomi graduate, I knew it was bc she wanted to portal. I really thought she would do the same this year. It led me to strongly wonder if she knew someone was likely to be leaving.Might be time to start saving a scholarship every year for a portal player for that missing piece you need. A 3 yr. starter is better than recruiting a HS girl unless they're going to be a freshman starter.

And yet we still need an off guard that can handle the ball and score when teams are hounding Clark.We would not bring back Marshall and Martin for a COVID year if there was any chance we’d seek a guard in the portal. Right now it’s looking like we will need to be creative to even bring in one person, it certainly won’t be a G.
While this is true, at Louisville, Van Lith was more of a shooting guard, and wasn't always the one to bring the ball up the floor.Nope it won’t happen, and even if it did…not sure how well it would work out as they both need/want the ball in their hands to be effective.
Bluder has had faith in her 3 starting Gs for 3 seasons and isn’t going to shake things up now.And yet we still need an off guard that can handle the ball and score when teams are hounding Clark.
I think everyone can admit that when the ball wasn't in Clark's hands, people were worried it was getting stolen from Martin, Warnock, Davis in just about every game from Colorado on..........
False. I (and plenty of others) don't like it when men do it either.Men act the same way on the court or field. And we call it passion.
Talking sh#t and chirping back and forth has been done in basketball forever. While I understand the line between that and taunting may be hard to draw, saying shut up, you're down 15 certainly is not. Just not a big deal. And for someone to call HVL "white trash" because she was talking too, that is BS as well. It's part of the game.False. I (and plenty of others) don't like it when men do it either.

You let your play on the court do most of your talking. Her Dad appears to be that kind of person you don’t want affiliated with your squad/parents. They both resemble white trash.Men act the same way on the court or field. And we call it passion.
Can you tell us more about what he said? Where was this? Thanks for the info!Brad from the swarm mentioned this morning that NIL could be utilized to lure in a player even without an open ship.
