I see her as a perfect symbol of our times - short-term gratification is everything. Get money now, get fame now, forget me tomorrow.Apparently Kim can’t out recruit Dawn, however lsu gives her what she needs to out spend Dawn!!
100%. She's a true point guard learning from the best.
Latson didn't play in FSU's first game due to a hamstring injury. Hope she's alright. Don't think it will be much a game, otherwise.
That ship has sailed. There are too many successful NBA examples with no or one year of college. Of course, there are just as many negative examples, but I think that should be up to the player to assess where they are as a player. Actually, players don't have to do the one year of college anymore. They are able to go to the G-League if they choose, but the NBA owners and management still like the comfort of players going to college for that one year so they can see players against high level competition for one year. The one-and-done rule was always more about protecting management from million dollar mistakes on high school kids than allowing kids an opportunity. Thank NBA busts like Kwame Brown for the One-and-Done rule.
Followed by VA Tech vs Iowa and OU @ Ole Miss (7:00/SECN), also very good matchups tonight. Go Hokies!
I don't agree with the last part. It's the players union that supports an age limit. If the owners want to reduce the age a player can enter the league, they have to give concessions elsewhere ("media rights and revenue sharing").

Of course, the players would like to get to the NBA as soon as possible. However, the owners, if they have to give a concession on age limit, want at least that one year so they can see a player at a Duke, Kentucky, or North Carolina to see how he responds to a structured environment with high level competition. Now, letting some select high school kids into the G-League alleviates some of that, but there is still value for NBA management seeing these kids on a college campus. Back when this was an issue, almost 20 years ago now, the owners wanted two years of college, but settled for one instead of locking the players out any longer. So, you have twenty years of history with one-and-done players who mostly make up the top-tier of your league. The players are never giving that up now. Too much history that shows that it works for them. Yes, the NBA loses American casuals. However, that has been more than made up by their international presence. So, NBA owners are not going to do anything to upset the apple cart unless it seriously affects their bottom line. That hasn't happened.I don't agree with the last part.

Will The NBA End Its “One-And-Done” Rule In The Next Collective Bargaining Agreement?
IntroductionOne of the National Basketball Association’s (“NBA”) most contentious rules may be abolished soon. The “one-and-done” rule, established in the 2005 NBA Collective Bargai
I agree with Whitlock that the NBA owners has shot themselves in the foot by lowering the age limit. The popularity of college basketball increased the popularity of the NBA. I'm not sure how they put the toothpaste back in the tube at this point. Sad.
Yes I too think its about LSU and Joyce but are they saying that Dawn will win out bc she is the best recruiter or are they saying that when Joyce chooses LSU don't think it was because of the recruiters? Most replies are in the vein of Dawn will win out. Hope they are right!
That article is a little dated BTW. The NBA entered into a new Collective Bargaining Agreement back in June. It runs through 2030, with an option to terminate in 2029. They talked about the age limit, but nothing changed. I try to tell fans of College Basketball, all the time, that the NBA hems and haws about this, but really has no interest in changing the status quo when it comes to age limit.I don't agree with the last part.

Adam Silver wanted to lower the age limit, but the union won on that issue.

David Stern and now Adam Silver have been saying that for about 4 Collective Bargaining Agreements. At what point do you stop taking them at their word and say they are really not that serious about that issue. All Silver wanted was his little soccer-style in-season tournament and he was good.Adam Silver wanted to lower the age limit, but the union won on that issue.
Adam Silver in favor of lowering NBA age limit from 19 to 18 years old: 'It's the right thing to do'
The league raised the age limit from 18 to 19 back in 2005
Latson is still injured for FSU so they will not be as formidable. Latson is Ravens former teammate from High School
Latson don’t look very injured to me! UT looking like a fraud just like LSU. 34-20 end of the first
Well, I guess the Vols get an F for defense. No one could keep a player in front of them. FSU consistently got in the lane and dished out to an open shooter on the perimeter.
Sorry I missed this discussion. Just changed providers and had a hell of a time changing providers on my ESPN App. Did the IPHONE first and finally got it working on my Firestick
Did you notice how long it took for Tamari Key to get up after she fell to the floor? That was kind of hard to watch. Hopefully it's just a case of her needing to play herself into shape.
I did notice and thanks for mentioning. TK may be able to 'turn it on' at some point this year but she does not look like the same player right now after her lung condition from last year.
Total over reaction to the games this week. We are regular season and tournament champs.
I agree that the SEC looks like a fraud so far. All the transfers made the SEC feel like the "It" conference. Even our best 2 players transferred in. But Dawn has done an excellent job with high school recruiting, so we have more continuity than the rest of the conference. For the conference to take the next step, the overall high school recruiting needs to improve.
You and I have both said it. Paopao, was a much better get for us than either Morrow or HVL was for LSU.
