Someone in the comments asked about Alaina and they answered, “She’ll be with the Fever soon”, so Lay will likely get her own post the first game she’s active and available. Kiki too when hopefully some team signs her.
It for opening day. They had to edit Kaela Davis in there at the last minute because she got resigned. Alaina is still overseas playing. That’s why she isn’t included on the opening day poster.
Can they beat Fulwiley and Keenan in ‘22/‘23?
Keenan will be 2A next year instead of 3A like they were this year.
Graduates also had to enter the portal by May 1 to be eligible.
For some reason I think we will have Amihere for two more years. Like you said, she has a chance to complete her grad degree and be the focal point of the offense after Boston leaves. I guess it depends on how anxious she is to play pro ball.
With Camden having more overall talent so I am going to say yes....but I think they (Keenan) are dropping down to 2A.....maybe they will play in the regular season.
I wouldn’t doubt that either. LA is very much a STUDENT athlete and she’s also very active in student govt and on the SEC council. She actually could leave now, go overseas and play pro ball and enter the draft next year. (She could have declared this year since she graduated. ). I’ll just be glad when these Covid classes are done. I feel bad for high schoolers right now.
I saw her graduation pics, and wondered if she’d already completed four years, but your post has clarified that for me. Kudos to her, and all the student athletes. Not only those at SCar and UCONN, but to all schools, regardless of the divisions, because they have worked hard to become successful participants in the world.
After LA suffered her second knee injury her senior year of HS, Dawn brought up the idea that she graduate early and come down to USC where she could have the convenience of getting her surgery and rehab done all at one shop and get a head start taking classes. So she arrived during the ‘18-‘19 season whereas Boston/Beal/Cooke arrived in ’19-‘20. South Carolina athletics has a terrific orthopedic surgeon as it’s medical director and team physician in Dr. Jeffrey Guy, so she was in very good hands.
I’d like to think that the “WNBA drama” will be short lived, but it may continue for some time, even with the addition of a couple expansion teams. The young women want to play pro ball in the USA, but their chances of making a team are stymied mainly by the teams’ constant waivers and releases.
