WBB: Emily Ryan reaffirms commitment to Iowa State after latest departure

Iowa State’s Emily Ryan posted a message by her social media accounts on Tuesday afternoon, seemingly in reference to earlier happenings within the day.

The message was posted lower than two hours after the information broke that Denae Fritz would turn out to be the fifth participant from Iowa State to enter the switch portal because the workforce’s season ended with a NCAA Event loss to Toledo.

Ryan, the workforce’s level guard, posted three photographs with the teaching employees in Ames together with the message, ‘Experience or die by all of it. Love you Cyclone Nation.”

If there have been any worries Ryan’s return is perhaps in query, they’re squandered now.

Iowa State has 5 commits coming into this system with the 2023 recruiting class – which is the best rated in program historical past.

It consists of McDonald’s All-American Addy Brown, one other ESPN high 50 recruit in Jalynn Bristow, an ESPN high 100 prospect in Audi Crooks, IBCA All-Star MVP Arianna Jackson and Blue Star high 100 prospect Kelsey Joens, the sister to graduating star Ashley Joens.

Nyamer Diew, Izzi Zingaro, Shantavia Dawkins and Mary Kate King all look to be returning for the 2023-24 season, with Ryan.
