Carter played well as did the rest of the team. Offensive boards and the extra pass by Team USA did us in.
Watching Carter play was fun
Will miss it after this year likely
She is a junior

Draft eligible


She'd be dumb to leave early...it's not like there are millions waiting for her...get as much schooling as she can should be her goal. The crappy WNBA or foreign leagues will be there waiting.

She is on record that her main priority is playing professionally and getting to the WNBA and playing overseas. She proved last night that she is gifted enough to play with some of the best in the world Now if she is ready off the basketball court is another matter completely but I don't see her doing what the Oregon player did and come back for her senior season. I could and hope for Aggie BB she does but I don't expect her to stay and will look forward to watching this seasons team try to make history again

What a great game! I was impressing with our guards. The difference in the game were team USA quick hands and athletic post players. This was a great opportunity for these young ladies.
Johnson a huge disappointment - intimidated !

This is why it was a great learning experience. Both posts were going up against WNBA MVPs in Nneka and Sylvia so they had their work cut out for them.

As far as everyone mentioning Carter's draft eligibility, I'm 95% certain she's leaving after this year.

Her professional career has a self life. Earn as much as you can as soon as you can. It's not like she can't come back if she chooses to get a degree.

And, to be faiiiir....
Carter is a better player than Bone and has the national recognition she didn't have. It may not happen and I certainly don't wish her to leave early, but it makes more sense in this situation.

It might be an odd thing for a prof to say but the value added of getting a degree depends on the student, and the opportunity cost of staying can be greater than what one loses by leaving. For Courtney Walker in Computer Sciences or Chelsea Jennings in Architecture it's going to be very different from Carter in University studies - leadership with minors in youth development and sport management.

I hope she stays but I have an obvious conflict of interest.

Kelsey Bone graduated. Will Carter graduate in time for the draft?

Quote:

The WNBA "requires players to be at least 22, to have completed their college eligibility, to have graduated from a four-year college or to be four years removed from high school".[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNBA_draft#cite_note-1][1][/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNBA_draft#cite_note-2][2][/url] Since the WNBA draft is currently held in April, before most U.S. colleges and universities have ended their academic years, the league considers anyone scheduled to graduate in the 3 months after the draft to be a "graduate" for draft purposes.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNBA_draft#cite_note-CBA_eligibility-3][3][/url]

Since we don't watch WNBA, we would be sad to see her leave.

Oregon playing like they might actually win. Sabrina has a quarter to break Carter's record. She has 25.

Sorry for the confusion, I was talking about the Oregon - USA game and I found the score for that one. Oregon won 93 to 86.
