Yeah. Probably a long shot. Would have been perfect with us this past season. 4 shooters and her with the passing of Y and CM would have been beautiful.

If her listed size of 6’3” is accurate she is a little short for a true 5. I like Lilly but It does not look like she has much vertical or quickness under the basket. I thought she was beginning to score with either hand.
I have only seen PU play the two times we played them. Their incoming 24-25 class had good ratings. I don’t know why their record was so bad.
I’m confused about Yardon. Good length at 6’3” and a very good shooter.
But she is very slow and not much vertical.
Is she too slow to be a guard and not enough vertical to play in the paint? I’m not sure where she should play. It seems we need more shots per game from her.

Williams is likely going to UConn, possibly following Mosely who is rumored to be going back to Geno's staff.
Because Purdue hired a completely unqualified NAIA coach that makes Mike Woodson look like coach K.
Now Jelks and Sandvik. The first does not surprise me, the second does a little. Wow, we wouldn't have had more leave if we hired a new coach.
Wow. I am glad Jelks is leaving, she is not good enough for this level. I really like Henna. Does this mean something is going on in the locker room? The culture?
5 guys leaving and 4 would have had opportunities to start or at least play big minutes off the bench.
Is the ladies NIL bad? Surely not with the success we have had.
Anybody know anything?
I really think it goes back to what Moren said after SC, we need to get bigger and more athletic. I think she was honest with the kids and they all knew we were looking for players to come in ahead of them.
In a way I am surprised, since those kids arrived we have heard over and over how tight this team was. That evaporated quickly. But many of these kids had put 3 years in and probably were not happy to be told the payoff wasn't what they thought for year 4. I think playing UCLA and USC showed we weren't ready for the new B10. Clark's forte was not size or athleticism.
I doubt the IU women's players get more than pizza money from NIL. Until 4-5 years ago, you could not give IU women's tickets away and their surge i popularity is very recent and none of the big money boosters care about WBball. In the Big Ten I suspect only the LA school and UMich and OSU have much of a NIL warchest.
We were competing against Caitlin Clark University for B10 titles. USC and UCLA are totally different animals.
I agree and I do. My concern right now is that she's had a successful culture and that culture has had meaningful players pass that culture down to the next group of players. It seems we're going to lose that in this transition. It might mean a step backwards for at least a year. Maybe a program reset built less on culture and more on athleticism, but I'm not sure if Teri can coach that way. But I hope she can and will support the team regardless.
I think coach has been great for the last decade.
But she's seen these teams that our real contenders for a title..
And Indiana is stuck in gear...Meaning Good enough..Is not good enough !
Only problem is..I'm not sure Bloomington is that.. I must go there destination....
Still lots lots of positivity going forward with this program..👍

Just add another Mckenzie Holmes sprinkle in a Ali Patburg and a Grace Berger and all is well .
Interesting theory. If correct it might imply we are going to loosen the character quality in exchange for ability.
I hope you are wrong. Surely there are very successful and influencing lady alums out there. Not to mention the wives and female children of successful men.
Is NiL money public information?
I was wondering a similar scenario. With Mac and Ali on the sidelines can they influence/control the culture? Or does that take players and not coaches?
Maybe the questions we have asked in the last few posts will become clear with transfers in. If several “star” players transfer in - like Kiki Iriafen did at USC - maybe Moren did tell the players they would not start. But if that were the case, how does she know in advance she can get stars to join us.?
She said we wouldn't but I don't know why we weren't already recruiting high character athletes. Assuming we were, the character level has to drop
I don't know about public info on NIL, what i do know is until the IU women made it to the to of the Big Ten standings, attendance was less than 5k for IU home games, and before Moren less than 2k per game
I agree. The ladies game has grown in general and at IU. Coaches like Moren (and others-Auriema, Stayley, Gotlieb, etc) as well as really talented players (Holmes, Berger, Buekers, JuJu, Van Lith) have increased the excitement, quality, and attendance. I started watching the year Ali Patberg transferred down from ND.
Hopefully Mac makes Seattle this year. It is far from assured, but I hope she gets to play in the WNBA.
Don't expect much. Iu has few decent players to build around and little NIL. Impact tranfers are looking for teams able to get to the final four, not help Jumpstart a complete rebuild.
I wonder how much NIL anyone has for women's basketball. Not to mention, theoretically, NIL goes away as soon as the House deal is approved (assuming it is).
The site below lists Sidney as #18 in women's BB NIL. Many of those above her have corporate contracts, not just collective income. So we can compete with the collectives.
Agreed, but for a handful of women, NIL is just pizza money at most. Juju makes bank. LSU has a war chest supplied by Shaq and Reebok. Uconn has a war chest, much of it from gambling interests. USCar is getting more and more, but its boosters giving their money to wbball instead of football.
If we are serious about ladies basketball…
1. Come up with NIL
2. Hire a person whose only job is to help the IUWBB athlete develop their brand. Thru the various social media sites, followers, influencers. LSU has this.
3. Bring in advertisers who might match their product with an individual player. LSU has the gymnast making over 1 M/year. Coincidence with #2?
Just think ahead of the curve.
