Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3027393, member: 6620"] Regarding the two possible grad transfers currently playing at [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Indiana[/COLOR]: PG[COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)] Ali Patberg [/COLOR]and G/W[COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)] Brenna Wise[/COLOR]. The Indy Star recently wrote an in-depth article on Patberg and based on a few of the quotes (some of which I've posted here, the rest of which you can find in the link), it looks like they're very much enjoying the IU experience. One factor for Patberg is that a core contingent of family and friends come from her hometown of Columbus every game. Key for Wise is the close bond she's established with Patberg. Some quotes: - "And she (Patberg) wasn’t sitting alone. Fellow-transfer Brenna Wise was, too. “Going through what we went through together, going through tough times together, being there for one another, it builds a bond like sisters, family,” Patberg said. “We get each other so well. We’re both super competitive and we work super hard.” “It took a lot for me to leave my family,” added Wise, who transferred from Pittsburgh and grew up there. “She was like, ‘My family will be your family. I’m here for whatever you need.’” - “Ali’s a good juice kid,”IU's Coach Teri Moren said. “She’s always positive with her teammates. When they get discouraged or they make a mistake or whatever in the course of practice, in a game, she’s the first one there to go and build them up. That takes a special person, to be a point guard and have a lot of pressure running our basketball team, but she still — because of the person that she is — can separate herself and give herself to her teammates.” - “Playing now with my team here at IU,” Patberg said, “every game is a dream.” Seems like they're both in a good place thus far. Stay tuned. o [URL='https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2019/02/05/after-leaving-notre-dame-ali-patberg-figuring-things-out-iu/2777131002/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter']2015 Miss Basketball Ali Patberg rediscovering her confidence with IU[/URL] p.s.
