announced the signing. She leaves left the program after a club in Spain made a spot open for her on their team, and that Ayuso wanted to major in physical therapy — something UO does not offer.
Ayusa is a talent but didn't get much playing time. Maybe getting the third top college play of the season on ESPN (behind Arike's two shots) with her James Harden like crossover move and shot got her enough press for a big signing back home.
Oregon is still deep with 4 starters back including their two Naismith top position players (Sabrina and Ruthy) plus Boley replacing Lexie who graduates. As for subs they'll still have McGwire who started as a Freshman, Gildon who had lots on minutes in the tourney, Yaeger, and Giomi who all got playing time this year. Plus they are bringing in the Arizona POY and Sabally's younger sister from germnay. They did have too many players given the available playing time.
I don't think any of these three leaving or even another sub would still reduce their high expectations and their #2 preseason ranking, only behind the Irish.
I thought the WNBA had rules
The money's better and those leagues are probably not subject to the WNBA's age restrictions.
leave if they turn 21 or 22 in that same year they go pro. Maybe she started college late
The NBA minimum is $560k.
could transfer without having to wait a year to be eligible to play again ? Isn't that what is being considered by the NCAA for football, or would it apply to all sports, if approved ?
It would have a similar effect as free agency had on the NFL, except without many "controls".
