ND now with two overall #1 picks & 2 of the 3 who left early

the other being Candace Parker, who turns out was Jackie's idol. Now Parker was going to be #1 whenever she came out, but ND's two #1s probably would not have been #1 if they stayed with their graduating class. For sure Loyd would have been behind Stewart. I also believe Sabrina will be #1 next year (unless she gets hurt-knock on wood) so Jackie's early decision has worked out for her like it did for Jewell.

Let's hope Jackie'sWNBA career is kust as productive as Jewell (ROY, All-star, Champion) Jackie is the ultimate team player with loads of skills. I think she'll do well.


If I remember Parker's situation correctly...

She was in a similar situation as Young. Basically, 4 starters were graduating and would have left her with a very young team besides herself.

Domerduck, I am thinking that Sabrina staying for her senior year was the
deciding vote for her to forgo her senior year. During her interview, she
made it sound like she was having a very difficult time deciding and at the
last moment decided to go pro...Interesting, but I wish her all the best in
the world and have a very productive career.

...I do believe Vegas is a good team for her. Loaded with young talent.
That is going to be a heck of a back court with her and McBride. Plus Wilson
in the middle and I believe Plum as the PG. I do not know who the fifth is
but those 4 are sure winners. Those 4 sure know how to score and win.

Her leaving early made sense if she were #1 or had degree

Well she was #1
Now I hope she still gets her degree

(Selfishly, I hoped we had her for another year)
