It’s going to be a much different look for the Iowa State Women’s Basketball team and coach Bill Fennelly. There were many changes, some expected, some not, and the Cyclones find themselves flying a bit under the radar despite bringing in a Top 10 recruiting class. The freshman quintet of Jalynn Bristow, Addy Brown, Audi Crooks, Arianna Jackson, and Kelsey Joens (hey that name sounds familiar) will be a massive part of the Cyclones’ 2023-2024 campaign, especially with the uncertainty of starting point guard Emily Ryan who is currently unavailable due to a “health-related issue” holding her out indefinitely.
