I'm stoked that Aleah Goodman will get the opportunity to play with CW, and the other 2 BIGS.

Congratulations Chrystyn! Be sure to visit the Pandas while you’re in Chengdu!

Best thing about Chengdu (other than the food...if you like the spicy stuff)....
is the Sanxingdui Museum, 1/2 hour out of town
A lost civilization discovered.
One of the 10 greatest museums in the world.

Congrats to Christyn and all the ladies selected. Bella Alaire - looks like Carla inherited a blue chipper at Princeton. Hopefully she can build on that and recruit some really good players going forward. Go Princeton!!!

I like Kara Lawson in the broadcast booth. She has become (in my opinion) one of the best on-air media basketball analysts today. I think she's cheating those players coming up behind her. She'd be an excellent coach at the college level.

No doubt she could also coach at the pro level as well. She knows the game, she can relate to the youngsters, she's been where they want to go, and she has an attractive attitude and demeanor. Players would love her. She could coach my kid. She's doing very well financially. The networks love her. She likes working in the media, so other than coaching for USA basketball in the spring and summer, we may never see her pacing the sidelines for and institution of higher learning.

I understand she was never interested in the head coaching position at Tennessee. I wonder if she had, if Phil Fulmer (Tenn AD) would have hired her. Who knows, maybe one of these days she'll get the itch to coach at the collegiate or pro level and scratch it.
