Lauren Ervin #37 could be a keeper. She was doing a great job at Arkansas until she went down with an ACL in early January, in the 'Back's first loss of the year after a 15-0 start. Without her, they finished up with two wins the rest of the way. The start of SEC play probably figured into that somewhat though.

Of course, I am sure they'll get little or no use from her for this season. But next year?? We'll see.

Bobbet AND Parker to LA? Keeping THAT team together is a smart move!!

There was one deal consummated on draft day, as the Atlanta Dream traded the rights to Ann Wauters, second-round pick Morenike Atunrase and a 2009 second-round pick to the San Antonio Spurs for Camille Little, second-round pick Chioma Nnamaka and a 2009 first-rounder.


I like this. 3 - Big XII players on the San Antonio team. It's sad that even the W writers don't seem to know the proper names of the teams. Evil step-children treatment once again.
