WBB summer 2015

Not trying to be a PITA but would you guys mind either using their full names or their last names? I don't follow religiously enough to know the ladies and it is frustrating to read all the great posts and not really know who is who.
I try to read everything but have found my self tuning out because I don't know (Or want to take the time to cross reference the roster) who exactly you guys are talking about when you use their first names only.
Sure, it is easy for many of you that are actually involved somehow with the program but the rest of us casual fans, not so much.
Thanks
Based on remarks from Bluder before trip and her play in first two games, I would say she is playing to be the starter, probably at the SG position. Will see how it all plays out. Jennings, Davis, Peschl and Kastanek should provide good production and depth at guard spots.

Too bad they couldn't pull it out. I think whit had 28 points. It was a good game against a quality opponent. I think they felt the fatigue of back to back games and the travel over to this one.
Point totals... Jennings 23 Disterhoft 12 Gustafson 8 (I thought Whit had more)
Rebound totals... Mohns 8 Peschel 6

Sounds like a great game. Might have been a different outcome if Tania Davis was available to provide ball handling and assert more defensive pressure.
Any information on the minutes played for the players? I wonder how much Larson played due to her recent injury and/or Iowa's depth at forwards. She didn't have much to show for from her stats.

Hawkeyes Fall Short in Final #ItalianTour Contest
Sophomore forward Carly Mohns led the Hawkeyes with eight boards in the contest. For Bluder, Mohns has been a bright spot in each game of the #ItalianTour.
"Carly Mohns has impressed me the most from last year to this year," Bluder said. "She's shooting the ball well with confidence, and she's rebounding both offensively and defensively. She's so strong going to the boards, so that's a bright spot for me."

I hope they aren't trying to make her into Sam Logic. She is a different player. Her being a scoring threat is her best asset. When Tania gets back to health she will be more like Sam. A pass first PG that can score.
Lisa seemed to think Whitney tried to do it all herself, but the way everyone else was playing that might be the only reason the game was close.

5 takeaways from Iowa's trip to Italy
rmurken@press-citizen.com
Excerpt
1) ... the real value of the trip came in the 10 additional practices Iowa received.
2) Whitney Jennings ... appears primed for a breakthrough this season.
3) With a deeper, less-experienced and more-balanced roster, expect there to be more players averaging double-digit minutes and less playing 30-plus minutes, especially early in the season.
4) Iowa likely won't have four players average between 13.4 and 14.8 points per game as it did last season, but the Hawkeyes could have more players score in double figures from game to game.
5) The early game action was most beneficial to Iowa's freshmen, and the highly-touted group showed it was ready to help.
IMO
I mostly agree with Ryan but add the following...
1) The value of building team chemistry/unity, not only on-court but off-court as well, is immeasurable.
“The time we spend together, developing the chemistry and bond that all good teams have, is every bit as important as the games we will play, probably more so,’’ Bluder expects benefits beyond basketball during Hawkeyes' trip qctimes
2) Lisa expressed high praise for Carly Mohns and she showed why, performing well shooting the '3' and rebounding.

3) This was to be expected before the Italy trip so this is not really a takeaway from it. It also logically leads directly to takeaway #4...
4) The two returning starters should average double figures scoring plus at least one and possibly two others. With the minutes divided more evenly, I doubt that there will be five players average double figures but more players will average between 5 and 10 points
5) This relates to takeaway #1. Because this team lost three starters that combined for 320 career starts, the freshmen (and sophomores) will need to contribute more, i.e. minutes, scoring, rebounding and just over-all production in general. Also, since they are young and inexperienced, it stands to reason that any additional head start they get will benefit them the most.
I encourage anyone and everyone to comment but with the summer events (GTL and Italy) over and the season about two months away, I expect that this thread will become less active and possibly inactive. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for participating and for supporting the Iowa WBB. I am anxiously looking forward to the start of the 15-16 season and hoping for some news of some early verbals for 2017 and beyond.
Go Hawks!
