Olsen in Iowa could be the best fit possible.

No kidding! We needed a ball handler so badly, and our fans will love her, especially since she’s barely a step down in scoring. Also. She’s only got a year left, which means she’ll be off to the W when Addison Deal arrives.

Isn't Emma Ronsiek going to Colorado State? I am curious to see if Olsen remains a midrange demon because Iowa doesnt like midrange shots, coaches say its the stats/metrics but not allowing a midrange on the table is silly and hopefully we will see it return.

Yes, I was sleepy clearly lol, I meant leaving Creighton. Good catch. That's why I rock with ya'll. And yeah I agree, trying to change Olsen's entire shot profile this late into her devolpment with only one year there, I don't think that would be smart at all. Let her be her

Lucy in disguise with diamonds…great move getting a Caitlin light!

What I want to know is was Caitlin involved in talking with her?

Alumni do alumni things lol. Plus, nobody better to tell her exactly what she would be walking into roster, community, and outside opportunity wise

@@micdewittif Caitlin talked with her, I’m sure she told her Bluder can be coaxed into letting her shoot whenever she wants. 😂 I’m a lifelong Iowa fan, and it took me two years to figure out why Caitlin was allowed to take such crazy shots when it looked selfish at times - those possessions where she shot from long range and missed still set up all her assists, her drives and her teammates because you basically remove one defender from any help and you create so much space that anything is possible. I’ll be excited to see Olsen’s stepped-up scoring *and* elevated assists for us next year.

@@stuartu7150 as long as she's rewarding Hannah for running end-to-end like nobody else, fire away Lucy

Iowa lost two PG. Caitlin and Molly Davis. Sydney Afolter is replacing Kate Martin as starter. Olsen is replacing Molly. Not Caitlin. The search continues😊

Respect that ✊. But the third leading scorer in the nation going where the #1 scorer just left, that’s going to be the natural comparison or projected role. At Lucy better hope so, because if she turned down the draft to take Molly’s role then her numbers and projection will dip dramatically

She tired of getting owned by Uconn!
