Did we get a new recruit? 

There's just this reply: "I like the squad we put together" to this post: "To Indiana. That helps IU Ladies alot" 

I looked for the original "To Indiana" post to see if it added context, but found nothing. 

Color me very confused ...

I don't see anything on the internet, including from Talia Goodman. Either a false alarm, or someone has an inside scoop.

Some posters can be quite confusing on a regular basis.

To my knowledge she is an Iowa lean but nothing official yet

Assumed it was done based on above post. Didn’t have a lot of time today to double check anything.

So TTT who is your source ? Is Emely Rodriquez a Hoosier or not? Folks are confused.

Why someone needs to subscribe and pay this and get that and blah blah for any information does tend to get to be annoying, you already have to have cable and subscribe to 4 different things to watch the games

To answer your question to address confusion…. Emely Rodriguez is not a Hoosier.

This "Rodriguez watch" is getting pretty anti-climactic. 

Personally, I'm interested to see if Caffey and Makalusky can make all-Freshmen Big 10, if they get a decent chance to play.

Emily Rodriguez has committed to Iowa .   No confusion anymore.

Well, as the portal winds down is there any other player out there for IU Ladies?  And it was stated 1. IU Ladies wanted to become more athletic and 2. IU Ladies wanted to become bigger and more physical.  
3.  IU Ladies wanted players that fit and from winning programs.

These three things they wanted to accomplish in the transfer portal along with incoming freshman and what is left of current team that stayed at IU.  
Conclusion:  IU Ladies accomplished a little bit in the transfer portal.  Underwhelming Rag Tag Team.

Recently posted 25 and 10.  Looks like impossibility that would require many big ten wins and tournament  including deep March Madness run to get to 35 games.

Recently posted 10 and 25. Another impossibility because it means you would have miserable season somehow slipping into big ten tournament and winning national champion ship…. those numbers don’t add up to get to 35 games.

The fact they got Rodriguez to even come on a visit tells me the combination of both the new recruiting coach and NIL slowly improving are starting to come to fruition. Eventually, you will need to win battles for the higher ranked recruits and portal players and I expect that by next season as I have said all along. However, a few weeks ago IU couldn't even get a visit or involved with a player of this level which tells me things are improving. 

This 2026 portal and recruiting class will tell us a lot where things stand and if they are indeed improving (which I believe they are). The fact Rodriguez even considered the Hoosiers to me is a small sign things are starting to get better with recruiting and NIL even if they didn't ultimately win this one.
