CBS' graphic just showed Emily Bessoir in the starting lineup for UCLA. Uh...I don't think so! Didn't she medically retire?

The struggles that Iowa and Indiana have to recruit elite high school talent demonstrate how little home attendance matters to recruits, compared to location, school etc. Both fan bases are somewhat mystified that attendance and home environment don’t lead to more elite recruiting victories. Both teams will need some portal help to try to return to NCAA hosting level next year.

Can confirm. If attendnence was a big driver Iowa State would do more than go to a Sweet Sixteen once every eight years or so. Great attendance and fan base following but only a good, not great, program.
