FINALLY, IU Ladies Zania Socka-Nguemen 4 star at 95 per ESPN player profile 2024

Is Shay Ciezki still going to play center for IU Ladies?

Riley Makalusky/Butler to West Virginia…..pretty good player….does this mean IU Ladies have a couple good 6’1” or 6’2” players in negotiations?….in all this nowadays ridiculousness?

Yes, Garzon is a skilled high level player. She should forever be indebted to coach T. Moren and staff for developing her into the player she is today, taking not good but great care of her, and I think she started every game, and allowing her freedom to shoot and play to become the player she is. T. Moren discovered Garzon from information she received when Garzon was playing in Fort Wayne Indiana at a summer AAU or under age or something like that. Who knows what kind of player Garzon would have been if she hadn’t gotten the opportunity from Indiana. It was master class by T. Moren.

3 national championships and runner up this year and rankings and conference championships is getting it done.

MiLaysia Fulwiley/South Carolina now in transfer portal.

1000%. Though far from what one would call close to perfect. All the things mentioned above and myself and others have noted think about the so called college student in major college sports vs the traditional college. Athletes do take classes online like others and during off seasons, and while traveling etc but it is far from what was the traditional college athlete….unconnected…..just business transactions.

There are those programs that elite players go to and are willing to set on the bench for a while and share playing time with teammates and grow in their respective systems. It’s called always having a chance to win conference championships, national championships and highly ranked each year. And now getting NIL money. (Ashlynn Shade, Ayanna Patterson are two recent (within last 4 or 5 years) and Kelly Farris WNBA 11th pick 2010-2013 from Heritage Christian/Indiana examples even before NIL became such a big deal. Indiana worked to recruit these players making top 5 only to have UCONN step in and all the Indiana effort down the drain. These are just a couple examples. South Carolina and UCONN are like kids in a candy store. Not nearly to that extent but there now are other programs that are more cohesive and competitive to get a higher number of really high level players (borderline elite) which NIL helping those teams alot to put together talent in their respective system. It was fun to watch IU Ladies take a step by step process though somewhat slow but always growing to significant…..and then currently becoming insignificant (after making march madness and winning 20 games) because currently there is not enough there. (it also seems some of the verbal philosophy of working hard, hours in the gym after practice, Indiana is not for everyone, looking for that particular player that fits in every public appearance and or post game, and continually talking about it is hard to replace a couple All American players (admitting to lack of recruiting success and having high level players to step up)…..might want to rethink that approach in thinking and especially making it public. (Most coaches want their players to work hard etc but don’t publicly continually make it the focal point….rather it flows from players kind of more naturally). (It’s admirable that IU coaching staff trying to build lesser talent players 3 stars and even below up at the level they are trying to play at has led to disappointment and some disillusionment). UCONN coach when recruiting Ayanna Patterson let her know he had coached many players of her caliber…it was no big deal to him.

Waiting for Williams/Wisky

Not sure, I read somewhere that 3 players were at a lower side of $100,000. I read Parrish the year before this past year was in the low $100,000. NIL is not cheap and NIL inflation is way above national average.

Two transfer Butler portal players (Indiana products) Cristen Carter and another Makalusky…Butler did beat IU this past season. Would not be surprised to see at IU, especially Makalusky.

Not sure how NIL works…T. Moren could try to hit up Mark Cuban on Shark Tank tv appearance and ask for a few million dollars to invest in a team of players…..to get over the Hump. Then Give Cuban 10% of all sales from concessions at games, 10% of ticket sales and 10% of related clothing sales. The few million dollars would be raised from sell out crowds because IU Ladies could purchase an elite team of players (like South Carolina or UCONN etc). IU could simply increase ticket and parking prices, related clothing prices, and concession prices by 10% until Cuban was paid back plus a negotiated profit. If payment became in default. Simply ask a government bailout or file bankruptcy. By then a few years should pass by with a couple national championships.
