The main reason we put the Lady Vol stuff in here is to make it easy to find for people looking for Lady Vol info. These threads typically get buried out on the main board.

She is graduating this year. She was red-shirted. So no boring classes and tests. If she has to take classes I would think they would interest her considering she would already have her degree. Can't blame her for leaving, If she stayed and got hurt, It could cost her Big $. I bet she makes some serious Jack from endorsements.

How can anyone profess to be a University of Tennessee sports fan and not follow/support the Lady Vols Basketball Team with their tradition and winning ways?

One of the greatest coaches of all time...7 National Championships...I dont care for women's basketball but you have to respect the program.

If only our other teams could be half of what the Lady Vols are.

PS....Good Luck Candace.

I blame the hawks for trading Sheldon to Sacramento....they went from knoxville/atlanta to knoxville/sacramento now they will be LA/Sacramento damn you atlanta:realmad:

She'd be gone anyway. She'd be crazy to stick around. That knee is a ticking timebomb and she has to know that. She has to go for the dollars while they're available to her, because when that knee blows out again, modern medicine might not be able to fix it again.

I wonder if Ralph Sampson ever wishes he'd taken Red Auerbach's advice and went pro after his freshman season? How much more could he have made if he'd not wasted three prime seasons of a short career playing for free?

Considering she almost had a serious injury a while back, can't blame her.

I heard this today also. Maybe next season the team will step up. There's going to be alot of freshman though. I was hoping Parker would stay one more season.

I mean think about it she probably would have stayed if he was still in Atlanta and taken her chances next year in the draft and maybe Atlanta or Chicago would have gotten the top pick but I think when he got traded she made up her mind

I'm pretty sure it's going to happen..I'm not sure why she would stick around. She will graduate this May....and she has endorsement $$ awaiting her. She is an awesome basketball player and a beautiful woman .... a marketing dream.

Co-Sign....especially if she and Team USA does well in the olympics...the endorsement money from that alone will set her up really nice if she invest properly.

The morons on the radio here in minnesota actually clowned Candace on this decision. The national media handled her decision with class, and the morning zoo aka sports talk goofs here made it seem as if Candace announced that she was trying out for the sorry ass Timberwolves or something. They were so obnoxious, I had to turn away to the national radio guys at Fox for the day.

What do these radio guys know about here in Minnesota anyway? They trade away their best players to Boston from all their teams. KG, Randy, and Big Papi All to Boston. They haven't got a clue. I Listen to Rome!

We just got one of the best recruiting classes ever. I wouldn't worry too much. Any thoughts on who Candace will play for in the WNBA?

According to ESPN's Tony Kornheiser,Candace Parker should leave because she will be graduating soon and the Women's Professional Basketball could shut down any time because so many clubs are losing money. He went on to say she should go while the money is still out there. Also said maybe she could help revive the league.

She is going to be with her main man Sheldon.

They will give birth to the best post player in the history of basketball... LOL
