Get Crook’s friends on IU Ladies team plus give freshmen time to develop. Could Win Win. This would be a great fit with additional dominant inside post player including Z (combinations and injury proof insurance plus minutes distribution). 3 ball or go inside and a floor runner. Runner to Colorado State is more appropriate fit. Similar to Bargesser.

And Gracie Merkle IU Ladies is a top contender

Alisa Williams is close friends with Audi Crooks.

Add Runner and an impactful big and IU Ladies would be ready to roll.

There are players linked to IU as possibilities. You are right not national media. This one is a solid impact player and runs the floor and finishes.

And Garzon at Maryland progressed down to a number 36 3rd round WNBA mock draft pick. Good for her. Though it is arguable if she was ever good enough under T. Moren because T. Moren would challenge her more than just a 3 point shooter she would have probably been at least a top 20 pick….Never know but she transferred and found out. Lol

(Not land her or one or two others) but land her PLUS very impactful big and impactful point guard. There, I fixed it.

How could any fan not love that. And she is durable.

Isn’t she about 27 years old? I remember T. Moren and IU spending much time to recruit her. Geno walks in 5 minutes and signs her with UCONN like some others that go to other elite schools that end up having less than stellar careers. Another one that got away from Indiana.

How about Audi Crooks, Gracie Merckle, Camryn Runner, Kymora Johnson/Vir, Liv McGill/Fl as possibilities for IU Ladies

Caffey could have withdrawn name and stayed at IU. Not sure how NIL could adjust as yes she can come back but can IU in this case reduced NIL? Crazy. What coach could have gotten more out of her talent level? Missouri got Mathurin from Michigan as well

Unless there was boyfriend involved or she wanted to be in Missouri though Missouri is hitting on some players I doubt Missouri was able to pay more than IU unless it was like 25 bucks to close the deal. (Cunningham/Fever played for the Tigers). Per AI. Missouri NIL budget 31.7 million in 2025 across board for all sports. and doubled NIL for Ladies basketball.

Seems like not just IU Ladies teammates but but it goes for all teams; these girls congratulate and support one another in transfer portal when they find new home. Maybe, boyfriends or just want to be closer to home. (Parrish was influenced by wanting to be closer to home). T. Moren referred to Caffey as could be one of the best guards ever at IU emphasis on defense in each game. Maybe, she wasn’t that enthusiastic about all the defensive expectations and let’s go play for Missouri. That sounds like a good idea. T. Moren does another great job of coaching a player up and taking care of her on the court like a farm club for another future school. Will be interesting to see how undeveloped she becomes at Missouri….not as nice as her ex teammates.

For IU Ladies perspectives transfer portal a”may turn positive per recent comments by Shay C. Currently, other programs active and IU pretty quiet which is the norm. And for IU Ladies 1. Caffey: full time starting P.G. 2. Noyan: starter 3. Kadlecova: starter and couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn nor play defense Until December 11 when Makalusky makes first start scoring 22 points. 4. Makalusky earned her way into starting lineup and excelled. And who is running it back for the Lady Hoosiers….much love to Makalusky.

Excellent: same comments as last year.

Makes for a good dream….Caffey and Noyan played big minutes.

Caffey needs a system and coaching and she wouldwill? be a star at IU.

Where would Caffey play at Missouri? Mathurin/Michigan. They have a couple starting guards in transfer portal 5 players in all it looks. But they have a returning point guard and a 4 star freshman coming in at point guard. Is Caffey going to go to Missouri and set on the bench for 25.00 bucks more. Kind of boring.

Caffey still got all IU gear on

How many games does Z play????? And if needed where do IU Ladies go as in quality player/s now ? Good freshman recruits but how impactful at this level? People who think Ash Cash is going to come in at this level in this system and run point guard and play defense to the level needed to make a jump from last year is unrealistically ridiculous. That goes for all positions regarding the freshman. Doesn’t mean they can’t help or contribute….but if expecting them to be main players and players running it back for next year running the show …expect no relevant jump in big ten standings or overall record.

IU struggling in transfer portal vs Oklahoma State and reserve player with experience unless Caffey and/or Noyan comes back thus far expecting repeat of 2025-2026.

Just like last year plenty in the portal to choose from….If you can get some because some are needed, currently, Crazy Transfer Portal is a college fad. Ladies who struggle to be average encourage one another to go be great, move on to better things, come to same school as me. Typical college kids.Hahaha

Lol. Either Caffey returns or better get close to an All American point guard. By her a air plane. No backup needed because James is a backup… she is not a starter at point guard as a freshman. Caffey still has everything IU in instagram…this is just crazy so does Noyan IU has currently become a training ground for mostly mid majors especially last year.

Butler is in the wrong conference because of the Brad Stevens effect. His success creates joining higher level conferences. And what does he do? Welcome to the Celtics. He escaped that delimma where he would not have been a superstar or even that successful either. He found lightning in a bottle for a couple years at Butler.

This type player does have experience. Doesn’t change anything unless a couple high level impact players come unless Caffey returns raise that to 3 high level impact players.
