Big shoutout to Unique Thompson. She has been a fabulous player and really fun to watch over her career. She endured some tough times and always seemed to have a positive attitude. Has always played her absolute hardest every game of her career, a great competitor. Nice senior night for her!

Now I hope we hold her to zilch Sunday! Lol

She will be better shooting over the top of Kasi and pulling Key away from the basket and i like Unique Thompson i wish we had her on TN.

Yes and if A&M wins they will be the number one seed in the SEC and SC will be in our bracket at number two if we hang on to three.

Transfer to another team don't play there anymore. I will name one Tennessee.

I agree, she should transfer to another team but see her definitely being drafted in the WNBA, don't know if she lands in the 1st round though

ESPN shows her as a second rounder 15th choice to the Atlanta Dream.

I would hate for her to go there imo, because I don't think she makes that roster as they are loaded at the 4 spot. The WNBA needs to expand quickly. So much talent will not make rosters because the older players aren't leaving.

They don't really know just projecting who would have the next choice and best player available. I think she would have a shot to get in the first round playing for the right school. Her 18 ppg and 13 rpg and over 50 percent shooting go overlooked playing for Auburn this season. They don't get much national coverage.

You would hope that the people that make the call on who to draft know who she is and how she plays. It's their job to keep up with those kind of players.

I'm sure they know and expect depending on needs of any specific team will be a late first rounder or early second rounder for sure.

I haven't seen a lot of her but I was impressed in the last game I did see her.

I think she'll struggle as an undersized post in the WNBA. Strikes me as a great college player, but not one with huge pro upside.

Could be. The WNBA is a different world.

Yes you don't find any undersized post players to go up against and that is basically her game. A different story when everytime you play your going up against players same size or bigger than you are.

Very interesting. Sounds like everyone else may have backed off for some reason?
