Who should Jan go after in the portal

[kceasthawk]

Is there another senior other than Kylie who could come back next year? I don’t think there is.

I think this is Syd's "covid year". AJE redshirted with a ACL, not sure onn her status. . I think this is just year 4 for AOG, and I'm not sure of her class is eligible for a covid. Its hard to keep track. edit: Just saw Hawksgonewilds post. Good info...

Syd is in her fourth year. Her class (2021) is the first class that stopped having a covid year.

Thanks. What a mess thats been for coaches in both college and high school especially. Trying to help your athletes get a shot at a scholarship and playing the numbers game with all the college players who are staying another year.

This is true, but you are losing Olsen. Olsen and Deal together would be solid. I agree with the person that you were responding to. Stuelke really can’t play a forward position as she is not a good ball handler and can’t shoot the outside shot. Iowa needs to pick up at least 1 solid shooting transfer with good ball handling that can start and compliment Deal and Guyton.

After watching, probably 100+ women’s basketball games in the WNBA and unrivaled this past year, Hanna’s handles for a Foward and going to the rack are more than adequate… She cannot or refuses not to shoot jumpers. That’s the problem.

Any chance Iowa can get the Vanderbilt freshman, Mikayla Blakes, as a transfer?

55 points today. Another 50+ game a week or two ago. She’s an incredible scorer.

I imagine in the current climate, players could potentially contact schools and inquire about NIL to transfer to that program.

You are telling me you feel comfortable with Stuelke bringing the ball up the court (which happens) or dribbling in traffic or any type of pressure? Mark me as a no! The reason Stuelke refuses to shoot jumpers is that she is not comfortable with it and realizes it is not her game. The stats would back that up.

Vandy forum just started a new thread on that today to try to save her. They fill the pressure coming from all directions. Several other boards were inquiring about her today as well.

That’s obvious, but I don’t have a problem w/her dribbling. He TOs per 40 are less than everyone on the team except McCabe, Affolter & Ava. I don’t want her as a primary ball handler but for a power forward she is pretty solid. And I’ve never seen her lose the ball bringing it up the court incidentally.

Inside, yes🤷‍♂️

I was flipping through the UConn F4 game earlier. Stuelke sure had a game that night against pretty tough competition. A few Hannah things in there like the bad turnover with 10 seconds left, but she looked like she was on her game that night. 20 pts. vs. UConn.

Iowa looked a lot like this year's team with Clark having a pretty off night, which is actually encouraging when evaluating this year's squad. Martin's best game of the tourney---absolute money in the 4th. Iowa led that game by 7 with two minutes to play. Worst meltdown.

Just need Lucy to keep bringing the A-game, and Hannah to remember what she "can" do. I can see why she would rather get the ball ro the basket because she's had success. Asking her to take 10ft-ers is like asking a skier to snowboard.

 

[Rocket_Fran]

So yes the players got more “confident” and “took” the open look, right?! Surely you aren’t saying that was a game plan change? The players finally started playing w/confidence. Not even that unusual 🤷‍♂️

Jan was NOT coaching them to not shoot. Honestly all you have to do is listen to her audio and it will be pretty clear what has been happening

I was not inferring Jan was doing anything. Candidly, I'm not going back and checking my exact wording because I think the improvement is secondary to natural progression of team chemistry and fine-tuning of role identities. So it lacks pertinency either way.

 

[HawksGoneWild1]

Ok…fortunately for me I wasn’t the only one who understood you to say it would be ridiculous for her to be wearing heels 🤷‍♂️

So here is the quote that you're understanding that I'm saying it would be ridiculous for her to be wearing heels, if I'm understanding you correctly.

However, I hope you're being sarcastic here about the heels.

The last time I checked Jan is a head basketball coach. If you think a head basketball coach is running around in heels on a basketball court, well no explanation is needed. I also believe they practice 5-6 days a week. So saying she is pretty much always in heels doesn't pass the smell test for me. Sure maybe on the off season she may were heels more often. Hell, I don't even know if this coach has an off season. I think I recall an interview where she said she's working almost all year long.

This is what I would expect from a basketball coach on practice days and recruiting events as in this photo link below.

---

The reason I stated about being sarcastic is because they have more practice days (5-6 days a week + preseason) than game settings (1-2 a week). The key words of why I called it sarcastic is because you stated "pretty much always in heels."

Might be, I honestly don’t know. Jan is 5-10, and pretty much always in heels

---

You stated this. Would you consider this to be ridiculous by itself also? However, I would understand that you're talking about a game setting and not a practice setting.

I’m not sure I’ve ever not seen her wearing heels.

---

I have been to the games. She wears heels.

That's because you guys are basing your replies from what's shown in game photos. I even stated that later here. Amahawk is even stating at games above.

I think we're talking 2 different things here.

You're speaking about game situations.
I'm talking about recruiting visits and the recruiting photos taken during those visits that players post to their social media accounts.

The whole context of my original post was based on recruit photos only. Doesn't have anything to do with game setting photos.

The context I'm stating with, "head basketball coach is running around in heels on a basketball court" is only about PRACTICE and not a game setting. The key word here is RUNNING around which to me meant on the practice basketball court only. I believe the head coach in your version of a basketball court would be sitting, walking or pacing and it would not be running around on it like you do in practice.

I also state in that same paragraph, "I also believe they practice 5-6 days a week. So saying she is pretty much always in heels doesn't pass the smell test for me." Which is also in the context of a practice setting.

If you took my reply to mean game setting because it's also a basketball court, then that's not remotely what I meant. I believe my wording is stated in the context of a PRACTICE with "running around on a court" and not a game basketball court which again would consist of "sitting, walking or pacing back and forth mostly outside of the on court boundary."

How you guys even went into game setting photos is beyond me. The whole context of most, if not all, recruit visit photos is around a practice basketball court. That's why I later posted this video on what recruits are shown on visits and why they are in tennis shoes for recruit visits that they post on their social media accounts.

Dude, it’s not a big deal. I didn’t judge you because of it. Clearly if you had thought about the fact that she wears heels on the sidelines. We wouldn’t be several days into this? It’s not a big deal I get where you’re coming from and it was just a miscommunication 😊

 

[herkyhawk00]

That's the problem. We can't have 3 players good enough to get rotational minutes that can only play the 5. Hannah MUST move to the 4 this off-season. She MUST put in the work to develop her outside shot and handles.

So to get back to your question, I'd say that maybe a Molly Davis type that can come in and backup Guyton and help break the press. Just a one year player though.

I agree on Stuelke and feel her minutes should be limited at the position if she can’t handle the 4 as Heiden will be a solid contributor next year.

I disagree with the type of transfer person. We already have that type of player for next year in our current freshman class. They are good players, but we would benefit greatly from getting a good forward or Olsen type of player that can stand out and help Deal run the floor.

Stretch 4 who can rebound & play D. As for Hannah she definitely needs to get to the point where she is at least comfortable taking four or five shots from 15 foot out…

But they aren’t going to limit her minutes regardless. She’s too athletic and is a good rebounder and decent defender. She’s going to play somewhere.

I've said this before ... but I'd like to see Hannah kinda play a little more like Ohio State's Cotie McMahon. She's shorter than Hannah ... but plays so much less tentatively ... and plays stronger too. Hannah seems to think like she's a finesse player. What's more, Cotie shoots the three a few times a game too.

Hannah does a lot of things well. But consistency on the offensive end is something she is capable of doing - but hasn't managed to do yet.

HS is a very good athlete, but only sort of an average BBall player IMO. She has no shot she just throws it up, can't dribble, panics, passing is suspect, court vision not so good, but she does rebound and run the court very well. Also, IMO opinion she is and will be in the way of developing the 5 position.

I would flat tell her she needs to develop skills for the 4 position or it will limit her role next year.

FWIW, I’m far from the only one that thinks you’re a jackass brother. But you carry on being you….ole DewTrojan….

By the way isn’t their a kids league somewhere you could be at, bitching about the coaches 😂

I’ll see you later in the game thread complaining when things aren’t going well 🤷‍♂️
…doh!!

I totally agree. I do think Stuelke’s skill set has been minimized, also, with Jan not pushing a running offense and getting those points in transition. Maybe that is because we don’t have CC to pass the ball to help with that, but that is where HS was utilizing her skill set as she is very athletic and can run.

And that’s why you’re opinion isn’t taken seriously by most.

She average less TOs per 40 than all but 3 players. Dribbles better than average for a women’s power forward, can get it up off the glass with both hands and is an average passer.

She lacks confidence outside, and often times hurries to much getting her shot up. But that is only in stretches. Like the whole team, she is inconsistent.

No one of importance thinks like you.

As for “flat tell her…. “ 😂😂that’s laughable, there were plenty of you earlier this year that “flat“ wanted to bench Lucy, give Guyton the keys to the floor, wondered why Kylie played wondered wh Affolter played etc. etc. etc..

You’re just a bunch of whiny, bitchy old men who throw a fit when the game doesn’t go the way you think it should.

That’s why I jack with you….id been staying away from you until you decided to reference me 🤷‍♂️
