Lamendola is the name i've heard on Twitter.  And Garzon but just conjecture at this point until its not.

i didn't get it from twitter lol but yes i have seen it. Yardon is 50/50 to me. in the end i think iu will make an offer that will get her to stay but i dont have anything else on it. All i was saying is i think it could be a wake up call for Morren and maybe iu has a whole for NIL in womens basketball, hell women's sports in general.

Jules is in. Interesting -- from outward appearances, she seemed to really like IU. She was always hosting the fun little videos they did.

would be shocked to see lamendola back. Meister probably up there too.

 

Perfectly fine. Meister would be dumb, on the outside, to transfer.

Jules official. She looked like a stud in HS

I felt like she had a lot of potential, but never really lived up to any of it. Had some moments, a charge here, a good offensive play there, but was also mistake prone and looked like a deer in headlights more often than not. Wish her the best of luck in the future. It sounded like Beaumont was primed to make an impact and would have significantly cut into the few minutes she had this season. Where are you all getting your sources from on Twitter? And what were players unhappy about the way things were handled?

Some feel like she didn't have the opportunity to live up to it. The biggest thing I hear from former women players is Moren doesn't bring the freshman along fast enough. She is old school and they need to sit and wait their turn when other teams throw them in the fire to learn right away.

Will she change or will we have one or 2 that leave because of this.

They don't even have that many players as freshman they are bringing 'along slowly' on current roster. Everyone else is very much in the main rotation or projecting as a main contributor outside Jules and maybe Henna. There is no one else on this roster who has been 'brought along slowly'. 

Pretty much every major contributor has played from get go last few years so not sure who could be complaining about 'being brought along slowly' outside of transfers and it takes a very specific player to play in Moren's system and they clearly did not fit it.

I can't speak for NIL aspect. I had Jules and Lily potentially transferring based on guess alone with new center from portal coming in (no idea who). Can't speak to NIL situation but never heard Moren complain and she seems to be targeting very specific players purposely.

IU may need to up their NIL game here but so will everyone else outside maybe the top 3-4 programs.

Moren is winning consistently.  Transfers have been a standard in her time her at Indiana.  She rides her players that she thinks give her the best chance of winning.  I wish our Men's coaches did more of this.  It never feels good to have a player transfer that the fans want.  We all liked Lamendola.  I think Garzon would be a bit more concerning although with her alleged incident that might be a factor in play here.  I have no idea.

Anyway, Moren needs to get the benefit of the doubt until it doesn't translate.

Alleged incident?

I can tell you with complete confidence there has been zero issue or 'incident' with Garzon and anything heard is not at all true.

I know she likes IU and expect her back unless there is some NIL offer IU can't match but even then for optics they really need to step up to her asking price whatever that is.

It’s hard to be a freshman and sophomore impact player when they are not effective scorers at this level and have trouble scoring in traffic.

Got to be able to put the ball in the basket besides all the other stuff.

 And I know the point was made about the expectations regarding Beaumont (which she is a promising player) but she is still unproven.  It was said that Lilly  had a great summer….but it looked like it was more based on hope than reality.

There is def not one. People are making up rumors or hearing unsubstantiated rumors and I can say that with complete confidence.

Does Jules actually have a foot injury?

Yes. Not serious but that's why she didn't play in NCAA's. Had nothing to do with transferring.

Something involving Mbagko apparently.  Nobody is willing to talk about it.  I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Take it with a whole salt shaker and swallow all the salt. Nothing of the sort happened. She has had zero issues at IU.
