I could not stop smiling during this whole interview. Lucy is fabulous! I'm a big UConn fan so I've seen a lot of her and she is spectacular. But I really want to thank you, Haley, for creating this podcast. It's really the only podcast I listen to. I've been following women's college hoops since UConn won it all in 1995, so I love learning about the inner workings of all these fabulous young female hoopers. Your questions are great, your personality is great and your skill at probing the minds of these young ladies is superb. Please don't ever stop!

i am a uconn fan too. have a lot of love for lucy.

[@chrisstrawn3396]

I love everything in this comment except for being a Uconn fan haha. I'm an Ohio State fan and jealous of all your success at Uconn with Womens Basketball

[@skidroe83]

@@chrisstrawn3396 you should relish the fact that your girls kicked our girls' butts a couple years ago to move on in March Madness. No doubt we will meet again

I’ve seen Lucy’s first two games at Carver Hawkeye Arena. She is a fan favorite. She runs like a gazelle. I have been going to Iowa games for over 40 years and am a Season Ticket holder. When all the pieces get familiar with each other and the team gels, they will be a tough out. Lot of potential here. Great team to watch with the fast pace they play.

[@malikjames5403]

I'm a Lucy Olsen fan now. Wishing her a successful season and a successful basketball career. All She Wants To Do is Hoop. Hoop Girl!!! I'll be watching. 😊 Thanks, Haley for another great interview.

[@tomanderson6306]

Haley, your voice is enjoyable to listen to. Great interview and how can you not love Lucy!

[@2smoulder]

Looking forward to hearing Lucy summarise her first season and wish her the best for this one.

[@ladyandtheplan]

So excited about Lucy! 🖤💛 It looks like her transition to Iowa has been seamless and I have really enjoyed watching her play. And, Haley, great interview skills! New fan!

[@TonyL-zm6ww]

Haley, my first listen to your podcast as I'm a Hawk fan. Your an awesome interviewer, talented! Lucy O is great and Iowa is fortunate to have her.

[@albertoalfaro9989]

I viewed her first Iowa game. Lucy is awesome. Her style is different than Caitlin's. Now I have to continue being an Iowa fan. ❤❤❤

[@andrewmast4395]

GREAT episode. First one I've seen but I subscribed and look forward to many more. Great job!!!

[@shastica]

Lucy, I've watched three games so far, and I'm impressed of your game, you can defend too! so excited for this season, wishing you the best from Mexico 🫶

[@amancio2446]

You are a great interviewer!!! Great insight.

[@albertoalfaro9989]

Haley, I enjoyed your interview with Lucy. I get bored 😴 alot. I hardly watch entire interviews. I watched it all. Iam a disabled marine (PTSD) so it's a pain.

[@drodawig]

She’s awesome, and she plays with such joy. Fits right in to Iowa’s culture. I’ve got my “Basketball is Fun” #33 Olsen T-Shirt from Raygun.

[@llcooljay520]

I’m excited for her season. She is long and had excellent D. Her pull-up/midrange game is money and different than we’re used to. The freshmen and returners all bring something different. Let’s go!

[@PaulHenricksen]

Lucy is awesome. We're glad she's a Hawkeye

[@bigdogbill8988]

Such a great interview.. what a beautiful smile.. I remember in 1988 my father putting a bball hoop on the roof.. but it was at 9.75 ft high.. it affected my shot.. so then years later.. a different hoop in the front yard, but on a hill.. that was really bad.. finally my sophomore year in high school.. he put a hoop in the back yard.. we measured it together to make sure it was 10ft.. even though it was a dirt court.. I still played.. I would rake the dirt.. measure out the high school 3 point area.. and play. Even with baseball I would throw in the back yard.. create a makeshift mound and pitch to a brick wall.. the baseballs were ruined in a month or 2 but I would keep throwing until the leather was completely torn off..because we couldn’t afford to buy baseballs. I hope you have an amazing season Lucy and enjoy the God given talent he has given you.. I imagine Iowa loves that you moved here.. and thank you for being an inspiration to many people! Billy

[@williamfragaszy6016]

When I first heard that Lucy was coming to the Hawkeyes, I was really happy. She is a great addition to the team. I am really excited for this season. Go Hawks. And, Haley, you do a great job with these interviews.

[@Susan-in7bd]

Excited for Lucy!

[@chrisstrawn3396]

Great interview with good vibes. Both ladies did a wonderful job.

[@lindayanney3705]

Great interview, Haley. This is going to be a fun team to watch.

[@aussiewendt3029]

So glad I came across this Ty Haley go hawks and so ready for this Sundays game against Washington st

[@averygaming8707]

Great guest! Love her personality

[@rossrreyes]

Lucy Olsen is like Sunshine in human form

[@Mirror_of_the_Soul00]

Great game the other day. Enjoying the new Hawkeye look

[@albertoalfaro9989]

Iam a new fan of women's basketball. And that is because of Caitlin. Iam glad I found your channel Haley.

[@joereilly9727]

I had no idea you had a youtube! Great questions! I'm subscribed now!

[@def1ghi]

I've been going to Carver Hawkeye Arena for years and Lucy gotta get READY cause it gets LOUD, I'm talking ear damage LOUD cause we LOVE our Hawkeye women let's GO!!!

[@Saywhat-109]

She's made a very good choice transfer to #iowa... I like her...❤❤❤

[@kaptainh5538]

She seems like a great kid , Fun . Go help Iowa Win . U CONN fan :) Saw you play at Villanova vs U Conn

[@thomashahn6289]

I'd love to see Lusy get drafted by the Fever. But she will be drafted in the up coming draft

[@waynevernon8286]

I love Lucy lol

[@pamelasimpson5903]

Now Arizona is on my radar

[@albertoalfaro9989]

Wow Lucy, Michael Jordan is my all-time time goat and Kobe is my 2cd favorite goat. Go Iowa!!!❤

[@waynevernon8286]

Your meant to be there Lucy

[@joeykremple]

Lucy is super cute and lovable, but she needs to develop a killer attitude like Caitlin. That squad needs a relentless leader. Time will tell! And Lucy is the one to do it

[@antoinekirk4958]

Good job haley

[@albertoalfaro9989]

Wow ❤, she is gorgeous.

[@Kitishere12]

It's gonna take a little time with Hannah at the 4 now. I'm not a coach but id have Lucy at 1. Taylor/Kylie at 2/3 syd at 4 and Hannah at 5. I know we got a freshman big and they want Hannah at 4 but that's just me. Jan knows better then me I'm sure.

[@jamieewing9250]

With a game like last night, Addi O'Grady is likely to get a lot of minutes at the 5. I think a healthy Syd will be your 2, Kylie your 3 and Hannah at the 4. The incoming freshmen are balling out thus far, which is a great problem to have for mixing and matching.

[@bradspilman6765]

Go hawks!!
