I think Phoenix missing Griner and Taurisa is a killer for the WNBA.<br />On a side note, my girl rookie Andrea Hoover (Dayton 3rd rounder) scored 17 tonight in Sparks loss in OT to Sun.

Posted attendance in San Antonio was 1,738 fans!?! <br /><br />Looked at the WNBA average attendance over the past fifteen games which has been 6,187. Compares pretty poorly to around 7,400 per game last year. Not a good sign for the W. Maybe they need to talk to the U of L promotion people to get some fresh ideas. They were averaging over 9,000 per game in the '90's...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-32987143364707014012015-06-26T07:51:45.558-04:002015-06-26T07:51:45.558-04:00Great Crew.

Mo Reid was friends with her and encouraged her to try out for the team during open try-outs.<br /><br />That's where the story of her hurling into the trash-can came from. She was such a hard worker during the try-outs that she drove herself to that point. From the sounds of it, Walz was impressed by her work-ethic, if not necessarily her overall fitness at the time of the try-out. While she was in good shape, she wasn't up to the standards of a Walz player yet. That quickly changed thanks to that work ethic.JMcAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440193885039741934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-6874020776906990052015-06-25T11:13:21.085-04:002015-06-25T11:13:21.085-04:00Practice?

Shoni & Jude helped lock down the national footprint and primed the recruiting pump for the program. Walz and his staff have done the rest. Now we just have to win. I've never set foot in Kentucky but outside looking in it seems like UK has the high potential kids locked down for now. Full credit to Walz for hedging his bets and going national for talent. I hope he can get more Kentuckians but for now it is what it is. Full credit to the local ULWBB fans for supporting the program even without as much local talent as UK. As most of us know, in sports, winning fixes everything. We need to knock down a National Championship. I think we may have the kids to do it in a season or two. I'll take ULWBB for a NC before I'll take the Gov's crew.<br /><br />Not very nice comments about Shoni but pretty original and humorous.<br /><br />Like a lot of Shoni fans I'm bummed about how this year is going in ATL. That said for anyone that watched the NBA All Star Celebrity BB game it just isn't that surprising. She was way overweight for that game and pretty much did nothing but shoot every time she touched the ball. It was cute when she was a rookie and on a streak in the WNBA All Star game last year. It's not cute any more. Shoni is getting paid to play basketball now. It's her job to prepare and be ready to go. She has never been a lock down defender. She had to know she needed to improve in that area of her game. She regressed. Not good. Hope she can turn it around but it's on her to get going. I'm still a big fan but she needs to get it together.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-16381321918155761322015-06-25T08:21:45.620-04:002015-06-25T08:21:45.620-04:00Excellent entry today, Paulie.
