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.What's the deal with Syd Affolter's knee?
Is A Guyton still rehabbing from her high school knee injury?
Also, recruiting has reached levels never seen for the program before. Makes having a deep bench and being able to reload rosters significantly easier.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.

I wonder if we'll ultimately see Stuelke a lot at the 5 again?
I was more impressed with O'Grady's movement without the ball than the shooting percentage. In fairness, they were basically all layups after nice passes, but she showed very good movement and timing to be in a position to receive those passes. She also seemed more focused and deliberate - perhaps she has found that inner badass...edit: I'm commenting after watching the VA Tech game.
Jensen sure has a lot of 4 and 5ish-es. How do you max the leverage of what Stuelke brings in that? That play where Stuelke outran the defense? Peak Steulke. I had to rewind and call my wife into the room to see that one.
It's one of the few times the cameras caught how she's able to be there under the basket with no defender within a couple feet. It's always seemed a bit magic and I assumed it was her track ability. But, usually the camera doesn't catch it. Especially when Clark was on the floor.
There were so many 4s/5ish-es on the floor with some ability in that game I couldn't keep up. The freshman? Looked a bit like a freshman at times, but clearly has some skills. She's going to be fun to watch over the years under Jensen.
Hard to argue O'Grady's performance in that game. 9 of 9 for 18? And some of them were absolute beauts.
