Good for her. My daughter has a class with her and says she's just a super person.
I was hoping she was going to get another year at MSU.
Me too. We could use the height.Quote:

You realize she's not going to be making big money right? The league max a couple years ago was like $110,000. She wasn't drafted, so she's looking at the minimum IF she makes the team. The average salary is only about $75,000 or so. She'll be making like $40,000 in New York....Quote:

Also, Breanna Richardson got signed by the Minnesota Lynx for a Training Camp contract too.
So that's 2 of 4 seniors with a chance to chase their dreams in the WNBA.
