Shay Ciezki from Penn State to INDIANA

[LamarCheeks]

5-foot-7 guard -- averaged 11.5 points, 2.4 assists, 2.1 rebounds in 25.1 minutes last season for Penn State. 

Shot 42.3% from distance. Should be an excellent addition -- presumably can slide into Scalia's starting slot. 

Will have two years of eligibility. 

Two transfers in one day. Nice job, CTM! 

Welcome aboard! 

[Hoosierfan1901]

Hell of an addition 

[Aaron]

There is the shooter they needed and instant starter in Scalia's spot.

IU Ladies rolling again and IU Ladies Welcome.

[LamarCheeks]

Updated roster after our latest addition. 

Seems pretty complete, but with a couple schollys available, CTM could still add a piece or two. 

We played this past season with 12 scholarship players, so we have one more so far for next season. 

Projected 2024-25 roster

 1. Chloe Moore-McNeil -- grad student
 2. Sydney Parrish -- grad student
 3. Karoline Striplin -- senior
 4. Yarden Garzon -- junior
 5. Lexus Bargesser -- junior
 6. Lilly Meister -- junior
 7. Henna Sandvik -- junior
 8. Shay Ciezki -- junior
 9. Lenee Beaumont -- sophomore
10. Juliana LaMendola -- sophomore
11. Sharnecce Currie-Jelks -- sophomore (listing her as a sophomore; only played in three games -- could apply for a redshirt)
12. Sydney Fenn -- freshman 
13. Faith Wiseman -- freshman 
14. Open
15. Open

Yeah, I think roster is complete.  Will be nice to see if Lamendola and Beaumont get more run.  I think they are both potentially really good.

Nice advantage Ciezki has that Sara had is already having experienced B1G basketball and how certain teams play as well as individual players.  Really happy to have her on our team.

[Stuhoo]

She starts. She helps us win. 

Indiana women's basketball doesn't rebuild; we reload. This will be a top 25/top of the B1G team again. Bet on it.

Men and women killing it in the portal.

So anyone seen film on her?  Getting excited.

Here is one I found.  Have not looked too deep though.

Shay Ciezki 2023-24 highlights (youtube.com)

[TTT]

Ciezki is much more than just a 3 point shooter.  She gets to the rim.  Good defense.  
High School:  Rated at 94 4 stars per ESPN. 5’7”

Lucy Olsen rated at 90 3 stars per ESPN 5’9”

In all this don’t forget about Bargesser as she will be a factor as well.

Fun match ups and games ahead.

[Claxdj01]

Ciezki is going to be a great pickup. As much as I liked Sara and her game, she is an upgrade. Faster, more athletic, and better at creating her own shot and getting to the basket. And nearly as good of a shooter. As much of the Hoosiers have struggled against full court presses, a cmm and ciezki backcourt ought to be able them handle them better than in the past

Nice background story

Hopefully not behind a paywall.
