Is there any proven production players left in the portal that we could possibly afford/add?

I don't think money is an issue. However, all the high end players are pretty much gone from portal and there are not any spots for frontline players on the roster.

You already have at least nine players who will need time (Maya, Lenee, Z, Petrie, Kenzie, GiGi, Addy, Pitbull, and Alisa), one ball, and 40 min. For health and future of program, all of these players need at least a few min a game.

Yeah, I can see we are prob done for this season.  Hopefully we have a break out Frosh or two.

It amazing that when these big impact players mainly players named Sara Okeke that went to USC many say oh yeah that would be great.  And after visiting IU they go elsewhere.  Coach and staff does want them and know that they need them but those players go elsewhere.  And yes there are enough minutes and combinations for these players to get minutes.  It would probably help Z so she would not depend on 35 minutes per game, maybe 30.  And the other big with playing at times same time as Z she would get minutes as well.

Then when those players that IU Ladies try to get they go to other programs then the talk we didn’t need them or they would not come into this situation anyway because of the different stupid reasons.  And we have these injured bench players who are going to become all Americans if this happens and that happens lol.  And a three star high school player is going to run point, and a point guard who plays defense and scores 4 points a game with all that and IU incoming freshman…IU Ladies defense will hold opponents under 60 and the offense will score 90.  Oh what a dream…I just woke up from an afternoon nap.

Afternoon naps usually have more of a positive effect for the rest of the day for me.

Best frosh class ever, definitely reason to see at least a couple of them playing good minutes, these are really talented incoming players

Maya's sister commits to Tennessee.

Likely subtract Fenn and add Ashlinn James to the rotation.

James will play and is more of a lead guard than Battle. I like our depth at guard with the addition of Samuels.

Transfer Portal Grade 2026 of C- drops to D+ currently based on transfers out vs transfers in.

Wow IU Ladies in 2027 already up from grade of D+ to possible grade of A because March Madness tournament expanding from 68 teams to 76 teams….Great job IU Ladies.
