Message: [QUOTE="Shades, post: 3018620, member: 6101"] If by “early” you mean “before all their NCAA eligibility is used up”, Aerial Powers, Alisha Gray, Kaela Davis, Acura Stevens. DeShields was going to return for her last year of eligibility, but changed her mind too late to join the draft. Her case was similar to Prince’s, who played overseas instead of playing her senior year, and continued on to be drafted in her draft class, so not really drafted early but left early. Seems to happen more and more as players gain awareness of being eligible early for the draft. So by all means, let Young know she’s eligible to declare for the draft. ;) Loyd leaving early is quite the coincidence, eh? Not really when they go through the NCAA system. Zahui redshirted her freshman year, plus she was old for her class (like Loyd), so she left two years of eligibility on the table. It’s totally not possible for Young to be unhappy at ND? I don’t exactly get the warm and fuzzy vibe from McGraw to her players. How’s this for a theory? Along with her dyslexia, Loyd knew they weren’t going to win a championship as long as Stewart was still in the league. Might as well get the basketball career started. With Young, she’d be the lone returning starter. How likely is a championship for ND next year? Each player has their own value system, so it’s tough to predict something like that. Agree. [/QUOTE]
