Love her recruitment philosophy. I wish it was a mandatory NCAA RULE including a player cut list of limited to around 3 schools instead of a 10 to 20 schools listing that is often seen.

System Correction….good stats but @ 4 stars 93 there are better options to land.

System Failure

It’s good to see Colsten Thompson and staff engaged in several to many recruitment offers since coming to IU. Observation: There are some 5 star offers. Also as time goes on seeing more and more 3 and 4 star offers. All these offers puts IU in the top 20 or so programs to get commitment and signed for most future recruits. Not sure where it’s going for IU Ladies who have a successful USA FIBA plus big ten program coach. Some schools (example KY) without seeing much about it get 2 5 stars at 96 while T. Moren is having success for USA basketball. when are IU Ladies going to get some future commitments from 5 star recruits?

Maybe, Zania can be a positive contributor for IU Ladies next season. High Stardom doesn’t seem to promising given she had a year of college and under 19 tournament is development tournament. Looking at pic of Nevaeh Caffey on back of Edessa Noyan while playing around …..Navaeh looked like she was 10 years old.

KY women basketball and K. Brooks on the move by recently getting a couple 5 star at 96 per ESPN 2026 commits Savvy Swords and Maddyn Greenway. Depth and other high level recruits in the recruiting mix could make championships of some kind in their sights….first year under Brooks 23-8 and ranked 16.

Pre-season schedule is worrisome to prepare for regular big ten season. However, regular season over and under 12-0. Prove it wrong.

Indiana women’s basketball legend retires after long professional career Billy Heyen Jul 4, 2025 at 6:17 PM EDT After a basketball career that took her around the world, Amanda Cahill has retired. One of the greatest players in the history of the Indiana University women's basketball has played her last professional game at the age of 29. ADVERTISEMENT Cahill spent most of her pro career in Luxembourg, along with some time in Australia. "Basketball has been great to me and provided me with so many opportunities, experiences and connections," Cahill told the Sandusky Register. "I am getting married in August and just graduated with my master's in social work. I thought these life transitions were prompting me to also transition away from basketball and lean more into a different career. I plan to still be around the game, but just not as a player — as a fan and maybe one day a coach." Cahill had a prolific Hoosiers career. She scored 1,884 points from 2014-2018, which still ranks fifth in Hoosiers history. Her 1,115 rebounds are second in IU history. ADVERTISEMENT Cahill also ranks eighth in steals, with 189, and tied for fifth in blocks, with 135. In Cahill's final college game, she was a big part of Indiana's 2018 WNIT championship. Before Indiana, Cahill was one of the best high school girls basketball players Ohio had ever seen. She was the Division II state player of the year as a sophomore, junior and senior at Clyde High School in northwest Ohio. She was 99-6 as a high school player, coached by her father to two state semifinal appearances while scoring more than 2,000 points with more than 1,000 rebounds. Now, Cahill is on to the next chapter of her life, with a legendary high school career in Ohio and college career at Indiana always a part of her journey.

6’0” Guard 21.5 points per game. 5.6 rebounds. 4.3 assists. 3.7 steals. As a freshman. McCutcheon 21-5 overall with 8-0 conference record. Throw her in the mix for IU Ladies Basketball future. 2027 will be here as time flies by.

Currently, 4 star at a modest 92 per ESPN.

https://x.com/DribbleDriveWBB/status/1937550531745951923 An hour long review of upcoming 2025-26 big 10 season…..IU Ladies seem to have a mountain to climb.

Grace going back to Australia in the near future.

Well, that didn’t last long. Released after 3 days. Wonder if Grace got a little spending money and some expenses paid for her troubles/inconvenences.

Kinda reminds me of when Steve Alford was selected for the Olympic team coached by Bob Knight. That turned out rather well.

This should/could elevate her game into stardom 2025-2026. on being selected to the 2025 USA Basketball Women’s U19 National Team!

Another scripted fixed professional sports game because of money and profit line. Sometimes they go 7 games and sometimes they go less than 7 games depending on what is trying to be accomplished what financial prospectus looks like and need to promote popularity in society…..like fake big time professional fake wrestling.

My old age cataracts see like 3 players looking similar to Makalusky…. I do think It’s open for Makalusky to swiftly grow into one of the leadership roles in IU Ladies situation due to her character and talent level (along with Shay and Beaumont) and possibly a couple others. Makalusky if she can compete well as a freshman at big ten level…..she is a coach’s type player and she is use to it.

Grace, Holmes and others get to hang out in some cool places and play some basketball while they are still young.

https:https://x.com/IndianaWBB/status/1934998755436085361//x.com/IndianaWBB/status/1934998755436085361 Perfect coach to put together a rag tag team and coach it….probably at her best.

We want you. No we don’t. Yes we want you. Hard. Not Easy. Seattle Storm finding that Holmes is just not that easy to get rid of. Haha

2024-2025 definitely had pot holes and lacked recruitment of more thoroughbred horses over the years caught up with IU Ladies and disabled them from continuing to reach new heights….to the extent of T. Moren BRIEFLY questioning her own future (per Indianapolis Star and Bloomington Herald Times article My take is ….very tiring maybe, or it’s just because she cares…….Be interesting to see how these road repairs work….how the new road construction will proceed, produce and perform in the future IU Ladies basketball seasons.

Does anyone know how much the total salaries (or do I mean NIL) costs for IU football players for 2025? vs let’s say other top 15 teams?

Linda Sayavongchanh to Colorado State like a package deal with Bargesser. Not sure how it turns out regarding IU Ladies but they have a new personality adjustment.

First day of Resistance training Phoenix and Shay looking strong with the arms.

Per ESPN 60 rank Ashlinn James 4 star at 93 Indiana PG
