There is no way Kalis Loyd will be second team. If it wasn't for Plumley I'd say she could win POY honors.

I very much agree!!! If Kalis sticks around she can become the greatest Lady Card of all time. Imho :)

That is very high praise coming from you for sure.

I have a feeling that she won't play all four years though. Probably three years then head to Europe. She will be done with her undergrad after three years on the court since she was here for a year before she could play. Hopefully she'll decide to start working on a masters and stay for a fourth year on the hardwood.

I agree that she could well be the greatest Lady Cardinal of all time statistically if she plays a full four. She'll likely be pretty well cemented into the top of the books in just three years as well. And she is a great young woman!

She is a far better defensive player than I ever thought about being. lol.  She is the complete player.  She can play Guard, forward, Center or run point.  She still has things to work on as any player does. 

If you couldn't tell I'm a fan lol

More than just a fan, I believe you were a member of the Elite Eight team, right?

I know this will sound crazy, but if she plays 4 years at Lamar I could see WNBA written all over her. She is tall (6'1) has a long wingspan is cat quick and very athletic. I can see her playing the point next season but the coaches will probably want her to play off the ball for her scoring ability.

Yes she was. Sky, are you the 5th all time leading scorer for Lamar?

[skyhcky]

Yes, I played from 1988-1992.  I had the honor of playing with some incredible basketball players.  :)  

If the WNBA can offer her enough money I could see a few of these girls playing pro. 

I am the 5th and two of my teammates are 1st and 4th :) I have a feeling that kalis will bump me out of the top 5 before it's all said and done but i'm very much ok with that.  I would love to see another elite eight run or better.
