This is not true at all. More often than not a parent/uncle ect thinks their guy/girl isn't getting enough playing time and/or shots. There aren't that many disgruntled players.
Transfer bug hits WBB
- Thread starter cyberhawk
- Start date
Looks like a lot of people with no clue on here, trying to create a problem that does not exist. Opinions and speculation with nothing, what a waste.
Why would either of those players be disappointin? I have no idea what kind of players they would be, but neither is expected to have a major impact in the next year or two.
I have a suspicion that Tomi could transfer. I hope not because I believe she still has untapped potential.

Not “hearing” anything. I am absolutely no insider at all. I would say maybe a semi-educated speculation. When this thread was started, I actually dismissed that notion. Now I’m a bit worried. I could easily be wrong and truly hope that I am.
This is a little premature. She is a pre-med student so her academic aspirations might be more important to her. Also, I would not assume that she would necessarily transfer down. She has DI athleticism and skill.
Tomi transferring wouldn't shock me. She was the 6th woman on last year's team, but Feuerbach transferring in complicates her role on next year's team. It's certainly possible she will average fewer minutes next year if she stays.
I also think that Tomi could be a starter at a P5 school or high mid-major. She's an athletic wing that shoots well from three. There's a reason she played a big role on a Sweet 16 team.
That said, she will be a senior and will likely have some role on next year's team, even if it might not be 6th woman. There's a high probability that she will stay and finish out her time at Iowa.
The women's team is scheduled to be recognized at Saturday's open football practice. I for one will be watching to see if there is anyone "missing" from the team photo op. That might be a clue.
All I was trying to convey was that Tomi transferring wouldn't shock me because there are basketball reasons why she might want to. I still don't think she is particularly likely to. I'm not playing any side. Just commenting on a topic being discussed.
Tomorrow evening is the WBB banquet on Zoom. I will try to see who is (or isn't) there.
They might wait till the new recruits arrive this summer, to see how good they are and where they stand as far as playing time.
This press release about Kylie Feuerbach officially signing with Iowa has a picture of her wearing #1. But Tomi Taiwo already wears #1 for us... Is this a bad sign or am I reading too much into this? Kylie wore #10 at ISU.
Reading way too much. I sure hope the players don't visit the message boards.

Hawkeyes Sign 3 for 2021-22
All-American Luka Garza is the 2020-21 Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year, while Garza and Joe Wieskamp were named to the 10-player Preseason All-Big Ten Team.

I think Kylie was 10 at ISU, so they're going to have to haul it down from the ceiling.
You are reading to much into it. Last November when the 3 recruits signed they had a picture of them together each having the number 1.

Taylor Mikesell transferring from Oregon to Ohio State. Her stats weren't that good last year, but a quality 3-point shooter. Since she already went from Maryland to Oregon, seeing mixed opinions on whether she will be able to play next year.

Former Oregon women’s basketball guard Taylor Mikesell commits to Ohio State
The former Oregon guard, who entered the transfer portal on Monday, announced she’s headed to Ohio State.
As I understand the transfer rule that was approved yesterday, you receive immediate eligibility only if you have NOT transferred previously. I suppose you can go through the waiver process but it seems that might be an uphill battle now with new rule.Taylor Mikesell transferring from Oregon to Ohio State.

Well, everyone was there except Lauren Jensen. Each team member was recognized individually and spoken of glowingly by Coach Bluder. As much enthusiasm as I have seen. I don't think we have much to worry about.
If we get into middle of next week without an addition to transfer portal, then the roster seems set, barring a transfer in. Not convinced fully of that yet.......
Not fully convinced that someone from our program doesn't transfer or we get another transfer in?
I’m sorry, my post was poorly worded. I still think a current player could decide to leave in the coming days.
Lauren Jensen announced she is transferring to Creighton. Hopefully she can find a role there and help them get back to the NCAA Tournament.
My guess (based mostly on what I’ve read here) is that it would be Shateah Wetering.
This is a a very personal decision for student athletes, so if a member decides to voluntarily share comments here without “naming names”, I think that is all that should be expected. If there is anything to the notion that perhaps one more may decide to leave, we will soon know.
Lisa said at the banquet last night that Shateah had a series of unfortunate happenings this season that held her back -- COVID, a concussion, mono and I forget what else. She said Shateah is an amazing athlete with a bright future. I know she ran a 57 second 400 at state her senior year. I think she has the size and speed to contribute at some point. I have no inside information, but I would tap the brakes on her leaving.
Creighton is a good WBB program. I think she will excel there.
