I looked at the box score and didn't see Blackwell there. Is she not fully back from injury??
She tweeted "Get ready" yesterday morning, yet I don't recall seeing her at the game last night. I thought she meant she'd be back in the lineup.ScottS said:
Any chance she is back in the next few weeks?

Next season? That girl is going to the league lol
She's predicted to go #7 in WNBA draft.Baylorkid said:BaylorBears_254 said:

I know but she's barely played this year! I don't think people are going to draft her if she's still injured!
That was in Nov - latest prediction has her 11th - I expect her to fall further every week she does not play.LitigiOSO said:She's predicted to go #7 in WNBA draft.Baylorkid said:BaylorBears_254 said:

That is the key right there. Much easier in WBB where the money isnt 7 figs.Task Force 2015 said:
The NBA draft is in June.The WNBA draft is April 10.The season starts on May 19 so time is short for an injured prospect to get well and play at a high level.I hope she can play soon and demonstrate that she is draft worthy.However staying for a healthy super senior season might be wise.Perhaps she could score some NIL money to stay.That didn't used to be an option.
It's hard to turn down those tasty figs, though.ScottS said:Task Force 2015 said:

It seems to me that Blackwell is being blamed for getting injured and the coaches are being asked to cut ties with her. Sound about right? UnfortunateScottS said:

What is your source for this? That makes no sense to me whatsoever. Who would ask the coaches to cut ties with her, and for what reason? Man, sometimes I hate fan boards. She tried to go a couple of times. The logical assumption and that is what most of us have to make since we are not close to the team is that she still did not feel right. But just like JTT on the men's side, you get to a point where you are ready to try and you won't know if you are truly ready until you try. JTT has tried and so far, so good. But just because he played last Saturday doesn't mean he is good for the season. It seems that Blackwell tried and is just not ready.BU71 said:It seems to me that Blackwell is being blamed for getting injured and the coaches are being asked to cut ties with her.

To clarify, my comment was in response to the question about Olympia3's comment which seemed to dismiss Blackwell until she is healthy enough to play. I think that was a unfortunate statement and my comment was intended to share my disappointment in that statement. I am on record as supporting the WBB program, players and coaches and I pray for Blackwell's complete recovery. I'm delighted to see her with the team. From a distance she appears to be a positive example of the kind of student athlete that Baylor wants to attract.blackie said:What is your source for this? That makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Once again where is any basis for your statement?
