Everyone knows about Iowa but not this Cyclones team. They are way short on experience and depth. They have started three to four freshman. Team lost most their regulars starters to either graduation (Ashley Joens), transfer (Donarski, Fritz, Kane) or injury/medical (PG Ryan). Diew is the only returning player available with a start not counting transfer in post Isnelle Natabu. With senior PG out I've way tempered my expectations for the team. Was moderately optimistic that a senior PG might be able to glue the kids into an NCAA berth. They have done maybe better than expected without her but they have no true PG and are WAY thin with another post, Zingaro leaving the team. For Big 12 outsiders, Cyclones to watch would be freshmen Addy Brown and Audi Crooks. Addy Brown has been as good as expected. Post Audi Crooks has looked better than I thought she would albeit against teams without much post presence. Fun matchups if Hawks Steulke is back will be Stuelke/Brown and Goodman versus Crooks. Kelsey Joens, another Joens sister at ISU, has looked better than her recruiting rank. Good defender, three point shooter and seems to have a nose for the ball and rebounds great for a lean looking guard. [INDENT][I]** That Caitlin Clark effect. My hometown Gophers have also sold out the Iowa game. Gophers had 10,000 for the Paige Buecker "reunion" game but sold all 14,000 for Iowa.[/I][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
