Maybe drafted late 3rd round, but minimal to no chance of making a roster. She's an undersized inside player who would need to play the perimeter in the W, and she lacks the skillset to do so. This is one of the hardest leagues to make a final roster, so you pretty much have to have the complete package in training camp.

Completely agree.

She looks good. Very regal.

Now please let her be drafted in the 1st round

Other than the fact our own Rae (all grown up indeed) is in the picture, the thing I like best about the photo is the variety of “dress up” clothes the group chose. The young ladies feel free to dress up the way they feel the best. What a wonderful change from the days when one had to dress a certain way to be accepted. So proud for all of them!

Shakira borrowed an outfit from Kim though .

Does seem to be taking a page from the NBA where they've moved towards individuality from office attire.

Not Holly skipped right over Rae and her family!

 

[VolBall09]

Congrats to Howard! I look forward to watching her at the next level. Really think we will see the pinnacle of her game in the WNBA.

Not Holly skipped right over Rae and her family!

I missed what you were talking about, what was it exactly? If it was intentional I would be surprised, pegged Holly as classier than that.

 

[VolBall09]

Well, no surprises yet!

 

[LVsinceJV]

Engstler with the 4th pick. Smart move by Indiana.

She was walking around the floor doing interviews. I don’t think it was intentional either, she couldn’t get to every table, but she literally skipped right by Rae’s and went to interview Smith’s table.

Engstler with the 4th pick. Smart move by Indiana.

Indiana is NOT going to screw up their draft this year -- a first for them. The one they chose last year over Rennia? Sheesh.

 

[VolBall09]

Lexie is a great selection for Indiana. She plays incredibly hard on both ends and has the size and guard skills to impact the next level. She can really light a team up, can not play off her. Saw some teams try…

 

[LVsinceJV]

Welp, so much for the experts and their mock drafts.

 

[PRG]

Rennia was ninth so maybe Rae is next ?

Told you!!!

 

[Mr French]

Rae!

 

[VolBall09]

#9 for Rae to LA! I think that will be a great fit for her. Go hard in camp and kick butt Rae!!
