Yep.My fear is I'll be talking about this year's WBB run to my grandkids as the last great national run made by an Iowa team in a headline sport... much like Bears fans continually being up the 85 Bears. (Football being ranked #2 then getting spanked by Purdue and WI doesn't count)
Yeah, the chances of getting the players to sustain this into the future are getting smaller by the day.It was a very memorable run last year, but it's becoming clear, as they look to bring in help to get us over the top in this postseason arms race.....................
I can't see why Iowa wouldn't be the place to go. Best player in college, national attention, rabid fan base, and a real chance at being a key player in a national championship team. Some of you young hot guys need to start putting out to portal recruits coming for visits!
Honestly MOST of the real stars aren't going to want to wear Robins cape to CC's batman. They just don't want to be the CLEAR second fiddle on their own team. Now you would think some very good post player would see the light, but maybe not. I still think that coach Jan just may work her magic with AOG or Goodman, with Stuelke flexing between the 4 and 5......I can't see why Iowa wouldn't be the place to go.

And Donarski won't be coming here either.Micheaux committed to Virginia Tech.

That's unfortunate.Micheaux committed to Virginia Tech.
She’s right up there with Megan Rapino in women I’d like to hire a woman to punch square in the face.
Maybe if she goes on Sportcenter or something. Not by Iowa journalists.Wonder if Coach Bluder will ever be asked why she feels they were unable to capitalize on Clark's presence to land an impact transfer for next season?
I do think we'll still be contenders just returning the team we already have (minus Czinano and Warnock). Stuelke is an amazing athlete and 6'2", O'Grady is at the very least a huge space eater and 6'4", add more minutes from Affolter, Feuerbach, and McCabe + and we're probably in pretty good shape. I would have LOVED more height, ala Betts, but we'll take those who want to be here.A possible explanation for the lack of urgency in WBB might be: 1. One starting spot is already locked in with the national #42 recruit whose has college experience now. 2. A top 100 experienced center just waiting her turn. We really don't know what Addie can do because she's been buried behind an outstanding player for two seasons. She looks strong as a mama grizzly and very consumptive of space. The WBB has the highest recruiting profile of all the major sports, doesn't it?
There's one schollie, the best player in the country and two starters off a national title game and a bunch of 4*s on the bench, with more coming in the fall. The WBB can definitely afford to be picky.
Right...for whatever reason. I bet if you made a list of common denominators, you'd find the answer.Agreed it does not look good for a difference maker to join Iowa women, but not surprised. For whatever reason Iowa BBall (M and W) and football do not seem to be able to attract any big-name players from the portal (except CM and All which are exceptions).
Immediate future at least....Yeah, the chances of getting the players to sustain this into the future are getting smaller by the day.
So, what are they?Right...for whatever reason. I bet if you made a list of common denominators, you'd find the answer.

Million dollar question with no answers. Because everything you said is true. Platers to the pros every year in football, top 5 defenses every year. Best player in women’s basketball with the best big girl coach in the country. And packed houses along with a Big Ten school. Makes no sense.So, what are they?
Assumptions often made that KF and Fran simply don't try very hard. Is Lisa?
Some say, "players don't want to play for KF and Fran". Who doesn't like Lisa and Jan?
Some say football program and Men's BB are boring or don't have a chance at a championship. Certainly not true of WBB.
Who wouldn't want to play in the B1G? Who wouldn't want to play in front of a packed house?
So, is it Iowa City? No diversity? NIL? Facilities?
If you are such a tough guy, why don't you do it yourself instead of hiring someone?She’s right up there with Megan Rapino in women I’d like to hire a woman to punch square in the face.
Waiting for @LarryMullenJr. next ghetto comment. Side slapper.If you are such a tough guy, why don't you do it yourself instead of hiring someone?
You are the poster boy for misogyny. Congratulations!

I suppose I could identify as a woman for a few minutes and do it.If you are such a tough guy, why don't you do it yourself instead of hiring someone?

Are you kidding?! Either one of those women would kick the crap out of your weaselly body! Your tough guy persona works best from behind a keyboard.I suppose I could identify as a woman for a few minutes and do it.
I tried to expound upon one of those answers the other day.........................Right...for whatever reason. I bet if you made a list of common denominators, you'd find the answer.
Well, it's not just that, but like with the football and men's basketball teams, everyone else around them either catching up or getting better via the portal.Yup Iowa won't be as good next year as they were this year losing to much big players
The answer was in there......Million dollar question with no answers. Because everything you said is true. Platers to the pros every year in football, top 5 defenses every year.

Not so fast! Lisa and her staff get things done. And Catlin and teamates are going to WIN Nat. Next year. All Hawks.. May need more $$$? It's around. Lisa will locate it..It was a very memorable run last year, but it's becoming clear, as they look to bring in help to get us over the top in this postseason arms race.....................
