Ok, my interest is officially scratched. Could @boontonbomber be referring to the 1956 Montclair High School football team, which was led by the “Twin Comets” Richie and Robert Haines? (see link and picture below)?

You got 'em. Bobby and Richie Haines, twin brothers, played baseball and football at Montclair High in the mid fifties. Coached by the legendary Clary Anderson. Recruited by most of the college football powers ,they instead signed baseball contracts with the Phillies.Ok, my interest is officially scratched.

How people are this salty about players basically saying “temper your expectations” is crazy. There really is a thin line between hating on someone and offering an honest opinion. I guess all conversation goes out the window as long as you have a sound bite

From my vantage point, it's because they're interpreting anything where someone tries to be pragmatic as a dig against Clark. It's black and white to them, when there is really a lot of grey because there are so many factors to making the transition to the WNBA.
And to your point about a sound bite, that's another issue. Putting out these types of talking points gets people clicks and engagement. They don't care about context as long as they get views as we've seen with posts by Rovell snarking about Clark taking a "pay cut" when she announced her decision. Now he's posting about jersey sales without seeing the irony of his ignorance a few weeks ago.

Looks like Nika will be packing her bags after getting back from Kelsey Plum's camp, Traing camp starts April 28th for the Storm in their brand new state of the art practice facilities. See link below. I imagine Aaliyah is on a similar schedule. So after four great years at calling Storrs there home they are off to their next chapters. They will be greatly missed but expecting only the best for each of them as they begin their pro careers

Not really. I mean teams have certain needs and they draft according to those needs. Not getting drafted could be a blessing for Sara because once teams go through their camps, as a free agent, she could get picked up by anyone of those teams and go from there. It gives her some room to check her options. Plus, a lot of undrafted players are looking at that overseas market. More $$$

While there is a large market abroad there are leagues which might be termed minor with corresponding pay scales. In the "major" leagues there can be limitations on the number of foreign players per team.
