Kaitlyn on a Nashville burner! I hope she gets more playing time in the W next season, though I'm not sure it will be with the Valks if they keep Carla Leite

A little OT, given the different options that the top players have now a days, not to mention overseas, is the future of the WNBA in danger? Any update on the negotiations?

After posting this I saw in today's paper that March 10 is the drop-dead date to avoid impacting the scheduled WNBA games. The article went on to say major differences still exist.

FYI, I ran over today's paper with my snow blower. I would have been livid if I broke a shear pin. Snow sucks.

Agreed! And frankly UConn was an absolutely great decision for Kaitlyn!

Think about it, she had graduated Princeton, she could have just gone on to be a banker or whatever her degree would have taken her into. However, she chose to extend her basketball trade for one additional year by transferring to Storrs. Even as accomplished as she was down there at Princeton (an All American), none of her current professional play would likely have occurred with just her Princeton resume alone.

Without UConn, she would be that banker right now. Probably making more money as a banker, but heck, not in the limelight as a professional athlete and she can still become a banker later in life if that is what she so chooses! Good for her!

And that ring looks good in interviews.

Ah, the old life stops when the shear pin breaks. For me it was my brush hog. Such happy memories. 😉

She did graduate from Princeton. Kaitlyn was in the last class that got an extra Covid year but the Ivies weren’t giving 5th years so she took her grad year elsewhere
