This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Encyclopedia Brown :: Something old, something new by BabaGhanouj

The appropriate line seems to be that from a Robert Burns poem, "To a Mouse": “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men. Gang aft a-gley”. (the best laid plans of mice and men go oft astray)

Back in 2016, no one could have known how the fortunes of those three would fare.

I have a few thoughts about "Encyclopedia Brown", who at 15, was given that moniker by her teammates on the U17 USA team. But mostly I have questions.

° Jenna wants to play in the WNBA. Does she think playing here, behind Olivia (and Dara) will give her the best shot?
° How many years of college eligibility will Jenna be permitted? Jenna has only played 452 minutes in college and played in only 2 seasons, but didn't play in the Covid year.
° Jenna has always been a point guard and loves to run the show. What roll will she play this coming season?
° As SorinBasement said, "Steph Curry couldn’t uproot Mabrey." Jenna's high school background makes Dara look like a team manager, but Dara's college career makes Jenna's look the same. Jenna is a point guard, but she is also a well built 5-10, athletic guard. Who will show up as Jenna Brown this season?
