2022-23 Transfer portal announcements

Donarski is from Wisconsin so I can definitely see her in the B1G.

 

[Bone Dog]

Whoa! What inspired her to transfer, I wonder? She's a significant talent on O and D.

 

[bovwa10]

Maybe she’ll go to Iowa, that would be a huge get for them

Being completely honest here but i dont know how anyone plays for Bill Fennelly.

Her former teammate Kylie Feuerbach did!!

I can’t see it. She started at ISU and at Iowa she’d be a sub. But she is a Midwest girl and may not want to go too far away. If she were willing to move, Duke or UNC could really use a shooting guard who plays excellent D. In the B1G only IU really looks like a good fit for her, and Moren is a player friendly coach. One out of the box idea for her would be Stanford, who desperately needs someone like her. But I don’t know if Tara takes transfers.

 

[sweetspot]

Ain’t no way Donarski would come off the bench at Iowa.

Well, in addition to being honest, could you also share why you think anyone could play for Bill Fennelly?
That's a blanket charge and I would like to hear some specifics.

Iowa is jam packed at that position for next season with Martin, Warnock Davis, and Marshall returning. Unless she's willing to use her COVID year, I don't see it either. Even if she did, I don't see it working. I disagree with Indiana being the only fit in the B1G. I could see Illinois benefiting from having a player like her on their roster.

 

[bballnut90]

I think Kennedy Todd-Williams is #1, Donarski #2 right now.

 

[cancontent]

This makes it a total of 4 players in the portal for the program now. Two key players in Donarski and Kane. Two bench players in McGraw and Vick.

 

[pk1234]

If Indiana picks up Donarski and she basically slots in the Grace Berger role and they're a Final Four Contender again with almost everyone else back.

Huge portal name.

Warnock’s not returning. Dental school instead.

Feels like a full rebuild in Ames now after a disappointing season.

Warnock is going to dental school so she won't be back. Iowa has no scholarships available right now, unless someone hits the portal which I think at least 1 will.

Lexi's recruitment was over before it started too, she committed to Iowa State as an 8th grader. I think she'll take her time this time around.

Well, what does Ms. Donarski want? She would've become option 1 or 1A at Iowa State next year, so it's obvious she thinks ISU has topped out and won't go further without Ms. Joens around. She's got two years, including Covid. And she's from Wisconsin. Some thoughts:

• Iowa's wings/guards all seem to have at least a covid year, so Lexi wouldn't be getting 1000+ minutes with the Hawkeyes...at least the first year.
• IU, even with losing Berger, has a lot of guards, including Parrish and Scalia, transfers from last year.
• Oklahoma is losing a number of shooters, but also have Verhulst there and ready to go.
• A team that could use another guard is just east of Indiana: Ohio State, which returns it's great forwards, but loses Mikesell.
• Don't know if Coach Tara/Stanford would take a transfer, but they've got Hannah Jump -- a darn good jump shooter -- returning. They need a PG on the Farm.
• And she'd have to be part of rotation at Notre Dame, who have Citron and are bringing in a 6'1" super shooter in Emma Risch.

Will be really interested to see where she thinks the grass is greener.

Virginia Tech in some bizarro world where Kitley stays but King leaves could definitely use a wing like Donarski. I guess even if King stays Donarski could slide into the Traylor role. If Kitley and King both leave not sure they are relevant unless they get a lot more than just Donarski from the portal.

Amoore could leave as well since she’s international

Amoore could leave as well since she’s international

And she's 21 I believe. Not sure if she will be getting her degree. I know she got to campus a semester early so possibly/probably. Lot of decisions there. She's basically 2nd family with the Kitley's now. She's leaving her dog with the Kitley's over the summer. My gut has me thinking Liz and Georgia will both stay for one more, they seem like they're both really trying to grow their collegiate brand there and Liz's sister has such a tight relationship with Coach Brooks and the team. But my gut has been wrong before.

They’ll almost certainly put the full court press on Kiki Jefferson.

If Kitley leaves, and even if she stays, they’ll need to add some front court pieces.

Now we really start seeing some high value assets. ...

Really good PG. BC coach seat is rapidly warming:
