Maybe she can hook up with the Mystics. There Coach likes Uconn players and Kali was a good rebounder, the Mystics can use!

It was a long shot, I had hopes for her. She was one of my favorites--her best game and greatest tributes came from LSU and their coach. Kali, "made the difference " in that game. I wish her the best. I'm not surprised. Keep us up to date on Kali..

Bummer. In a related story, the Storm waived Lauren Mincy yesterday. How related? WNBA short training camp, short bench limits and short season. Frankly, everything about the WNBA, other than the talent, is short!
