Epiphanny Prince turned pro after her junior year at Rutgers after the WNBA denied her hardship petition for early entry. She went to Russia to play and earn money for her family that needed it. She eventually got Russian Citizen and even with that the WNBA would not let her in until she was age eligible in the 2010 draft.
I personally think since the sun is in Aquarius it's squared against the sun of most of the players. Also as a fixed sign it goes against most of the players who are mutable signs. Just sayin'.
Whoa! While I certainly don’t subscribe to the notion that Paige is turning pro, I can’t see why a speculative comment on that possibility is “inappropriate”! I read nothing in that post that shows presumption or assumption. Again, I think the chance that Paige would leave after one season to be infinitesimally small but it’s certainly not inconceivable! She obviously could do it if she wanted to. She is certainly skilled enough.
That’s pretty rich. Presumably! If a spoiled rotten kid calls another spoiled rotten kid spoiled rotten, does that mean the second kid isn’t spoiled rotten? Why does the poster’s generation have anything to do with whether or not he/she should have an opinion?
I wish....Was it because you forgot you just turned '20'?
LOFNO? Drew a blank on google...
Looking Out For #1
Not sure who would trade America for Siberia, maybe our family dog Ozzy, but Covid College isn’t fun either. If this Shot contunues.... Don’t forget her internet social media will be worth mega bill$.
So true and they just seem to keep coming out of the woodwork...
She can still have the game by turning pro! I don’t think it’s a likely scenario though. Abandoning colleges games is not the same as abandoning the game. In fact she can play more with equals by turning pro.
Buckets is (IMO) not the type of person to leave early for the pros. She made a commitment to Geno and her teammates. I expect her to honor that commitment. The riches and notoriety that comes from the W, will still be there after her senior year.
Boomers are definitely NOT the most entitled [read spoiled] generation; Boomers' children are much worse; and Boomers' grandchildren take the cake!
but.... virtually every sociological research project...
Well, try googling “entitled boomer generation” sometime. There is a hodge podge of scholarly vs. crap that comes up, but the consensus is quite startling. I’m a boomer, by the way; not afraid to admit the damage.
I've actually given up on someone challenging this rule successfully. What is more egregious is the disadvantage (Penalty) to American born players. It is literally a two year penalty because a foreign born player can enter the WNBA 2 Full years seasons sooner than an American player with the same DoB.
Or the NIL legislation could pass and she would make millions on twitter/tiktok.
Just don't think there is enough money involved in women's basketball to move an entire league. It's been more than a decade now (2008) since Brandon Jennings did exactly that-went overseas rather than go to college and be one and done. La Melo Ball also went overseas for two seasons. The NBA was not moved and if anything the draft stock of both players went down by going overseas.
