Why has Katie Lou not signed yet?

[eebmg]

I tried to get some discussion regarding some of the rookies not signing yet hoping for discussion or clarification but no luck.

I will try again especially since it is even later in the calender.

With players seemingly starting to play hardball more and more, I am wondering if this is now leaking in to the rookie class??

Specifically, the following players which I think face the most unattractive opportunities (relatively speaking) have not signed their contract yet. ( I dont think I made a mistake)

2. New York Liberty — Asia Durr G, Louisville
3. Indiana Fever — Teaira McCowan C, Mississippi State
4. Chicago Sky — Katie Lou Samuelson G, UConn

Is it so out of the realm of possibility that the top rookies facing a sad WNBA situation may simply look only at international opportunities. I imagine that for the top players coming out, the financial opportunities internationally may outweigh the WNBA benefits.

This could then lead to a severe negative feedback loop that will weaken the WNBA league more and more.

Probably over reacting but

Why has Katie Lou not signed yet?

Maybe she reads the Boneyard and has learned it's better to just skip the WNBA and only play overseas.

I’m sure once training camp starts she will sign her contract, the sky tweeted a few days ago that training camp starts in a week, I’m sure once she’s in Chicago she will sign then.

She's busy

I guess her back is better.

Maybe she has not signed her contract because there more money to be made in American Ninja Warrior

I hope that wasn't a video of a serious workout.

OMG, that was awesome. Best workout video ever!

Getting hit with those toys must have felt like nothing to Lou after the muggings she received on a regular basis during the season.

Eh, I wouldn't worry about it. This is not the instagram caption of someone who is not going to sign a contract:

This is not the draft night tweet of someone who isn't going to sign a contract:

Maybe the coaching staff can use some of those to get Meg and Christyn ready to take on the mugging duties.

I hear UCF is already preparing for a new target...

Hey Lou ... don't ever change. LOL.

That is the best video ever! Lou has a future in comedy if this basketball thing does not work out.

Looks like her sister enjoyed hitting KLS a little toooooooooooooooooooo much.

Well, finally

April 26

Chicago	Samuelson, Katie Lou	Contract Signed
Indiana	McCowan, Teaira	Contract Signed

I guess, only Asia Durr for the Liberty has not had a contract confirmed.

If something can possibly be explained by whichever person at Turner is responsible for wnba.com being slow, then there is no need to try to find any other explanations.

Clearly Chicago wouldn't let her sign her contract until she succesfully completed the American Basketball Ninja course.

What gameshow is this??

None of the chairs could really guard her either. She went through them like they were standing still.
