Will Paige or Any Others Play a 5th Year?

Paige will go pro after this season.

Perhaps not Paige but it’s a possibility. For others not named Paige such as Dorka,Aubrey,Mir, or Piath I would say yes. Unless the last 3 make huge jumps in performance I would expect all to take advantage of the 5th year

Paige will do exactly what Paige wants to do. And no one on the BY knows what that is. What Paige wants could, and probably will, change over the next 2 or 3 years.

Only if draft eligibility rules changed

If this poster is serious, they evidently don't know the WNBA requirements. Also, if a WNBA career is what Paige wants, the fear of another injury could be motivation to play only four years.

Others have touched on it, but I think getting her education is important to her. Also, now she can make money while in College, so really no reason to leave until she hits whatever goals she has set for herself.

I hope she feels financially secure enough not to compete overseas.

I’ve lived in Europe and they were far and away the best years of my life. No one should miss that opportunity if it is presented, IMHO. To this day, I look forward to my European vacations over everything else.

I read an article about playing WBB in Europe & China.
Like everything else there's pluses and minuses with it.
The main complaint seems to be that there's not much time off between playing in Europe and the WNBA.
Russia, China & Turkey where the most WBB money is paid is not all good or bad, but it's not for everyone.
They basically only do it for the money.

Vacations great. I was thinking more in terms of getting rest. Some alternating schedule for example.

Paige will declare early she’s eligible to
Do so next season. Those NIL deals will follow her to the pros so that argument seems to be the only leg to stand on as if she won’t be able to partner with Gatorade etc in the WNBA as well.
