A good place to go for players is the professional leagues in other countries. Players are still eligible to play college ball in many instances.

if they leave college here to go pro overseas, they can't come back to college because they would forego eligibility. If they are from overseas and play pro there, they can come play in college here because they never forfeited college eligibility.

From today’s BUR.


To the casual women's college basketball fan, it might just seem like this was just another international signing, but to the fans who follow the WNBA, the announcement could have come as a bit of a shock. Here's why:


“Yep, you saw that correctly. Kentucky announced the signing of the player who was taken #10 last year in the WNBA Draft. Totally legal, by the way. She never signed a contract and elected to stay overseas last season. The Sky will continue to have her rights as well, and it could be said that they are using the college game as a "developmental league" until her eligibility runs out.”

She probably made more net income last year playing in Europe. She'll probably make more this year playing for Kentucky. And she can always sign with the WNBA later. Not sure why anybody should be shocked.

It’s beginning to look like UK might be sneaky good next year. I have no feel for their ceiling but they will likely be very competitive and possibly very good. I’ll put them as a 4th place finisher in the SEC next season with a fudge factor of 1-2 spots on either side.

Academics will never be mentioned, we dont need any stinkin academics, she will hang aroung until money runs out or more to be made elsewhere. College Sports where started late 1880s to keep students physically fit. Now college Sports are to keep students Fiscal fit for the world.
