It’s been a while since seeing high profile recruiting activity…..but it’s great to see the new guy, Colston Thompson’s name (along with T. Moren) in much more and higher profile recruiting activity in his first few weeks…..he has hit the floor running….just what IU Ladies need. IU Ladies have turned over a new leaf.

Exactly what IU Ladies need and 6’0” physical scoring guard. Plus smart athletic upside (better all around player than K. Peterson). T. Moren a guard herself would be excellent coach for this guard. (Rodriguez a big time hard worker…that would positively impact team). T. Moren would love this one with Ciezki. Then, one 6’1 or 6’2” wing like Kubek/Maryland comes to mind or a player like Williams/Wisconsin…..could change IU Ladies 20-26 projection really upward…..even without a 6’5” or 6’6” center. (6’5” and 6’6” centers were popular in men’s basketball 1950’s and early 1960’s.

Some validation in what you say. I am sure some players have that idea especially if they are not a big time player going to big time program. (NIL has contributed to a transfer portal craziness in the last two or three years. Transfer portal started 2015. Then, NIL started 2021 (some coaches on the men’s side complain…but ironically they contributed to the craziness because of the crazy high salaries they were demanding). = has grown into whatever one might call it now. FAITH WISEMAN: 4 star at 93. And had offers because of her size, in high school bigger than other players, played volleyball, pretty good player (not great or even excellent) but has excellent upside. Faith was going to pretty much have to be developed at any major program for college. She probably would have played some at mid majors. Wiseman just wanted to go to IU if at all feasible because she was raised down the road. (dream come true). Still a mystery….but she should become a good player that could impact the game for IU Ladies…..even though she has not showed it yet. (Last year probably wasn’t good enough to see the floor).

Couple years ago Peterson to UCF from IU and now to Ole Miss and now trying for ER from UCF. Sounds about right. Kitts to Ohio State. (not Chloe/the one from SC). But her sister.

IU Ladies Basketball current 2025-2026 Rag Tag roster stands at 12 which includes a couple previously injury players…..makes for another thin roster….unless one or two high quality players are going to be added. Current big ten finish with this RagTag roster for 25-26 over is top half (1-9)big ten and under is bottom half (10-18) of big ten regular .

So is T. Moren going to take a 2025-2026 ‘Rag Tag’ team and make ‘Cardiac Kids’ out of them?

Not sure exactly why L.S. is no longer with IU Ladies. However, the success came from players that were recruited from when Box was here. And he was a players coach. Seemed players really like him and respected him because he knew what he was doing. Players spoke highly of him upon his departure and were congratulatory.

IU Ladies definitely need another accomplished front court 6’2” player as one of their best players that as April 23 at noon they don’t have.

Does Indiana men’s basketball have a team yet for 2025-2026?

Kubek/Maryland IU not listed as possible landing spot…..but IU Ladies could really benefit from this one.

Was it agreed that if DeVries is successful that would mean high character IU significant winning basketball program. However, if DeVries doesn’t work out Brad Stevens said give him a call.

Get Kubek or similar player from transfer portal.(has to be as good)….if not then insert tier 2 player as starter based on progress. Zania Noyan Shay Beaumont (healthy?)…may be catch up period Tier 2: Makalusky, Stotjin, Kiaku Tier 3: Wiseman, Caffey, Spreen Tier4: Kadlecova, Fenn, Sandvik ?? After starters tier 2 will play a lot of minutes and may or may not become starters. Tier 3 will play based on progress. Tier 4: play sparingly

And it’s Alabama for Timia Scott….. in this game of musical chairs that money matters along with fame and fortune and power house programs. sidenote: if she works hard surely Chloe Spreen has to be as good as her…it’s not like Spreen has never played before.

Makalusky is going to go through adjustment period for speed and physicality in big ten. I think she will gain valuable experience in several preseason games that are on a lower level than big ten. Higher level preseason teams ever how many….Makalusky will probably some struggles….but who won’t struggle on this Rag Tag team? There will be much improvement over the course of the season. on this team Noyan has to be a starter.

I expect another one or two additions to this ‘Rag Tag’ roster. A unique T. Moren coaching characteristic even when teams were her best teams….is usually hardly ever over powering but teams are always capable of performing well even performing well for extended periods of time. It shows off her and coaching staff coaching and leadership ability that has created dedication, high character, commitment of players/teams while in the program….. though there have been some high level recruited players the overall grade over extended years is probably at a B grade.

IU Ladies Basketball definitely needs an Allie Kubek.

Maybe, moved up a spot or two….national top 10 ranking for variety of unique names.

There is more than one way to get more athletic, physical, bigger. Coach Teri Moren has proven she is distinguished in coaching the right kinds of guards as she was a guard herself….and Tyra Buss.

As of Monday afternoon April 21…2025-2026 IU Ladies basketball roster Maya Makalusky Navaeh Caffey Faith Wiseman Shay Ciezk Sydney Fenn Lenee. Beaumont Valentyna Kadlecova Edessa Noyan Zania Sock-a-Nguemen Phoenix Stotjin Chloe Spreen Jerni Kiaku Henna Sandvik???? (maybe, national top 10 ranking for variety of unique names).
