Iowa Rolls in Exhibition

I thought I read that Syd was out until at least after Thanksgiving due to a cleanup surgery. I always assumed Guyton would redshirt due to her injury from last year.
It is unusual that there is not a drop off after the bench comes on. I am very impressed that the bench kept the two to one margin intact. Some salty Freshmen on this team. Maybe we can be good enough early to be a force in the league. I did not expect that to happen until mid season. Now I am getting optimistic. There are definitely going to be more top notch Iowa teams. Jan is showing what a strong coaching staff can mean to a program.
Also, recruiting has reached levels never seen for the program before. Makes having a deep bench and being able to reload rosters significantly easier.

Watched the first half.
Definitely some stuff to build with there. Several players contributed, and that competition will only make the players better.
The only concern I would have as the competition heats up is the 5-spot. Nothing personal at all, but I've posted before that I just don't think O'Grady has that competitive spirit/personality that you like to see in athletes. I get the feeling that she's just a naturally passive easy-going person, but I wish on the court she could channel some inner badass and grit. Not much backing her up, though the true frosh seems to have a ton of potential, and no one is better than Jan coaching that position. I wonder if we'll ultimately see Stuelke a lot at the 5 again?
