    Good for her. My daughter has a class with her and says she's just a super person.

    I guess her life and career trumped your fandom.

    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....

    What's your point? I don't see where I said anything about her making "big money" How much was she making at State?

    You said she was putting her career ahead of someone's fandom. $40,000 a year in New York isn't a career. It's a struggle. She'd be living on just as much as a college student. Now if you want to say she's chasing her dream.....that's another situation. But career? I would disagree.

    Doesnt a career have a beginning point? When I started my "career" I wasn't making very much either.

    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.
