One of the longest-standing traditions in college football won’t occur this fall.

She’s a six-time All-Star, two-time MVP winner and two-time champion — the last of which came with her hometown team last year. Parker, 36, is in the final year of her contract with the Sky, and said she is treating this year as if it will be her last in the WNBA. That seems like a pretty strong hint at retirement. Parker did not directly use that word, but it seems clear that, at the very least, she’s going… Source link

It’s a three-man race for the top rookie honor. Evan Mobley, Cade Cunningham and Scottie Barnes are all deserving of Rookie of the Year for different reasons and it will be interesting to see which ways voters lean.

Barnes averages the most minutes out of any rookie in the class (35.5), but has… Source link
