Prince, HVL, and Raven Johnson would be a waste of a draft pick.. and Dauda should have stayed at Arkansas or went Kansas State or Kansas

She wouldn’t play much for KState, she kept all the bad habits she learned at Ark, she just isn’t very good at all. Doesn’t know how to integrate into a team game plan, she is a free lancer.

Really not sure. She had a wrist injury in the last game they played but came back in and finished the game. She hasn’t played since and they haven’t said why.

Man that's tough for Coach Johnnie. They need her back ASAP.

Didn’t realize Washington was out for the season for Vandy. That makes things tough inside for them in the SEC. They relied a lot on her for her physicality.

Apparently had a blood clot issue, could return for next season if she chooses.

Apparently a leg blood clot. Best wishes to her, we sure know what that process is like. Really tough blow for Vandy.

Speaking of Vandy, is Justine even with the team anymore?

She is still on their roster played 16 minutes against app state. Jacked up 6 threes and made one.

Didnt enter the game against Miami. Dont know what is going on there. Maybe she has a minor injury, if not I’d almost guarantee she is in the portal again after this season.

She would do much better somewhere like St. John or FGCU, a mid-major that shoots a lot of threes and runs 5 out.

I wonder if Justine might retire fm bball altogether. It just seems like the lifestyle and degree of committment to improvement is just not for her. And that's fine, I'm sure she'll flourish elsewhere in her life.

Yeah just not engaged or too stuck on the vision she had for herself. Her dad seemed like he could be a handful as well. I definitely expect her to transfer down if she continues to play. She’s been a total bust.

A 6’5” player who refuses to rebound is a total waste. Wolfenbarger is so similar, she’s going to find she has to play in the paint and get a board or she won’t play much for Mulkey. Kim isn’t going to let 6’5” jack up threes and watch while everyone else rebounds.

Iowa vs Iowa St on Wednesday. Pulling strongly for Iowa in that one have to keep that quad one win as long as we can.

I do think Iowa will win that one at home. Fingers crossed.

I’m curious to see if Iowa State tries to press them. Turnovers were an issue for them in Cancun but those games were without Olsen who controls the ball almost the entire game for them. I expect to see their turnovers much better against their next opponent.

I’d really like to see someone else press them to gauge how much of those turnovers was our defense compared to unforced errors on their part.

The battle of the bigs inside, but Olsen looks to be the difference for Iowa.

Yeah they run everything through her, almost to a fault. They have some decent shooters, need to get them better looks. I’m not overly impressed with Olsen. I don’t think she’s a wnba talent. No three point shot and not a great passer.

The difference in Iowa this year compared to last three point shooting has not been a positive. 32 percent is not terrible, but they usually up there around 38. Olsen isn't a WNBA but she is a fairly efficient player with what she can do mid range and get to the basket with that hook they don't call. She is very foul prone if the Refs want to call them and that is going to be a huge difference in any gam they play. How do the call that off hand she uses so much to get shots.

Yeah players are going to start selling that too, she’s going to have to figure something else out. Crafty for a player who isn’t quite as athletic, but definitely not legal. She hooked the dickens out of Sam a couple times.

Is it me or has Audi Crooks gotten even bigger this year? Saw a bit of her game this weekend, don't know if was camera or what but she looked considerably heavier than last year. Didn't see that coming.
