YESSSSS!!! Everyday i have checked the wnba website looking for an update on Natasha Cloud of my washington Mystics and today she resigned!

I know it’s not college basketball related but this does impact those teams looking to trade for her and what college prospects land where...

@mlindsay Tash is back !! so now they can make a legit run at the title again! Even without playoff Emma they are a force to be reckoned with and the emergence of Hines-Allen helps absorb the blow!

She is home from Poland for a few weeks before WNBA training camp starts. I’ll be sure to tell her you’re pulling for her when she stops by. She’s definitely excited about the upcoming season!

Watched highlights from the Iowa-Purdue game in Big Ten Tournament. Clark's offense is impressive, but her passing is amazing. So smooth and precise...reminds me of John Stockton, who always made it look easy.

Yep John was amazing. Mentored Sabrina Ionescu and Courtney Vandersloot during her time at Gonzaga. Nice of him to share his knowledge with the women’s game.

Yes I was scrolling Twitter and when I saw it I was very happy! I knew when Latoya Sanders abruptly retired and took the position with the coaching staff (after signing a deal this offseason) it had to be to get the deal done.

This also helps us in the future. We get a 1 year rental of Tina Charles and if she doesn't mesh with us, Emma returns next season under a new deal. If she does mesh, you still can bring Emma back by getting rid of some of the other players who are still on rookie deals to make the salaries work.

Bringing back Cloud, with the addition of Clark and Charles and the emergence of Hines-Allen to go with Atkins entering her prime and a healthier Delle Don (after sitting out a year). I really like our chances.

I think Sug has a shot to make it this year because he wants her around to back up CLoud after Lelani Mitchell contract is up after this year. What also works in her favor is that she is the better defender of Jackie and Johnson.

We currently have 13 signed (the limit is 12) with no draft picks this year. I think Mike is more likely to keep all of the guards and get rid of one of the bigs. I think the final spot will be between Erica McCall and Theresa Plaisance ( unless someone else is cut from another team).

I hope I am right!
