I work with a lot of Iowa fans in Cedar Rapids and they are convinced the Hawkeyes are getting Morrow, which they can offer a lot, including 14,000+ fans a game.

Wanting something to be true is not the most subjective point of view. I'd love to have her, but if she signed with Iowa I'd be more than shocked.

It's easy to squeeze an extra 4,000 fans in your building when you don't have to make room for Rings, Trophies and Banners.

Too bad there is only 1 ball.

The reality is if Morrow goes to another top program to compete for a national title, she will not be taking nearly as many shots as she is in DePaul. Maybe she is okay with that? I don’t know what her intentions are but her top 3 should say a lot soon. Given her teasing, sounds like it’s gonna be from SC, Iowa, Maryland, LSU, Norte Dame, and I’ll throw Ole Miss into the pot because of Coach Yo

Waiting on Morrow to release her list……

I agree, IMO Morrow is not a good fit for Iowa, unless she's willing to take a drastic cut in her attempted number of shots, doing so will take a hit in her point scoring average. The other stat taking a hit for Morrow would be the amount of threes she took this past season, at one made for every four times (.254)....why, when you have a three machine on the court.

Not sure what this even means.. if you’re referring to Clark, she lead the leagues or was pretty to it in assists
Expand ...
Both Clark and Morrow like to shoot, a lot. Both are pretty good at, and sometimes feel a bad shot by them is better than an unguarded one from someone else.

It means CC's PPG would go down.

You're forgetting that we lost our 2nd leading scorer this year so I'm not sure how you think Caitlin's PPG would drop when morrow would be brought into replace those points that are lost. With that being said, I don't think she will becoming to Iowa. I would be concerned about team chemistry. I know Lisa always takes into consideration how the current players mesh with portal players.
 
well I got two out of three right..........if she wants max minutes she sure doesn't want South Carolina and I think Kim played a lot of her bench last year too if I remember correctly....
 
Ok, so out of the three schools, is the question of which school needs her skills the most, mutually inclusive of where she will maximize her experience? In looking at current rosters, where will she make the most impact?

Not surprised she has SC and LSU as her top choices. I always thought she would be a good fit in either of those schools. USC…..no. Of all the other top-ranked programs in the Midwest and East, how did USC sneak in there? She would play but would get very little national exposure and the chances of making the NCAA tournament are slim. But who knows?

Maybe USC WBB head coach Lindsey Gottlieb made her an offer that was hard to not consider. Maybe she wants to play with the incoming #1 ranked recruit in class 2023, and the Gatorade NPOY, Judea "Juju" Watkins.

Sorry @Bjbod It might be the best thing for Iowa in the long run though. There are other bigs in the portal that would be happy to be role players

Yeah, we need a scorer/rebounder, but I had trouble seeing how she'd mesh with Caitlin after being top dog @ Depaul for 2 years. We'll never know. They do need another proven player; expecting our reserves to upgrade to the point they'd match Czinano and Warnock is a longshot.

I'd like to see her play with Juju at SoCal.
But she probably won't go there if the NIL offerings aren't large enough to entice her.

Morrow is from a big city!

She could have just cut to the chase and said my top 2 are LSU and South Carolina.

Eh, while it likely comes down to these 2 schools. USC is a threat because it does give her the opportunity to put up a lot of shots and do some of the things she did while at Depaul. On the other hand, if she went to SC or LSU, she would not be shooting near that volume. Dawn/Kim will make sure of it thats its about the team and that trumps individual play/stats

But I'm curious exactly what she is truly looking for. Maintaining her stats? Exposure? NIL money? Chance to win a national title?

I think USC is a real good option. Especially with all the other talent in the portal. They have a very good coach who has been to a final 4. I'm not even sure how they were a tournament team this year but they played hard and had big wins. Nonetheless with her, juju, and marshall that's a legit team. If they could sign a point guard, (vet who can lead like Owens of Park lane), that's good company.

Sorry to go against you on this one, but USC is the obvious pick here. SC and LSU are just there to give cover. Morrow wants to play in SoCal with a building program. Whatever they accomplish, she'll be the star with JuJu getting second billing for two years. She'll still get all her double-doubles, plus the NIL money and tons of exposure. It's a gamble, of course, since USC hasn't been on anyone's radar before. It's the same gamble JuJu is making.

I'm just reading the tea leaves about what a 20yo is likely to think. She may get this calculation entirely wrong. What she won't get wrong is that she'll be supporting cast at the other places. The only thing that might get her to change her mind is Betts at the crosstown rival. If they aren't competitive in their primary market, that will put a crimp in her glory.

I agree with this completely. USC is the only school on that list that makes sense for Morrow and its very much "one of these things is not like the other" on the list. One thing I'll add is that I don't see Morrow wanting to compete against SEC sized post players. You can get away with banging at her size in the Big East and the Pac 12 but not in the SEC, imo.

It’s been a long long time since I was 20 years old. I can only guess what Morrow is looking for. Where is the tons of exposure she’s going to get? USC’s games are never on local or regional TV. All of their games are only accessible on the PAC-12 Network, which is not available on DirecTV which is what I have.

The last time I saw USC was at the Galen Center about 6 years ago against UNLV. I won’t be shocked, but I would be surprised if she comes to Troy. :eek: The only place she could go that would shock me is UConn, and we know that’s not going to happen.

They might get a small write up on page 8 of the LA Times’ sports section. I never see any of their game highlights on the local sports news outlets. One of us is right. Time will tell. I was hoping to log on to the yard today and see that she has announced her decision. Tell you what doggie, the loser buys lunch. :cool:

Remember that USC with UCLA are moving to the BIG TEN in another year. So, Ms. Morrow could then have
one year in the Pac 12 and then a senior year in the BIG 10. Nothing shabby about that!,
and quite a way to see the country. THE Big 10 Experience would mean going back to Chicago and playing Northwestern. This
could happen!
