[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone mentioned that she go her degree a year early?

1. In what? 
2. Where is the proof for the claim (just curious) Her bio sheet says undeclared

She’s a soccer stud. No question about it. But she’s from Texas. None of us know her. Playing three years at UVA doesn’t make her a Hometown hero.

[b]She has the pedigree to do well in the NWSL providing she stays healthy and doesn’t get frustrated at that level. [/b]

Leaving behind college to make money is fine as long as you got the degree. So hopefully she did

No she has to play against that level and see if she can be productive. Lots of college stars do not bust a grape in the pros. [/quote]

Well looks like she was scoreless in her last NCAA game…not too good for the ACC player of the year.[/quote]

You clearly never played sports.[/quote]

Clearly you are clueless to the difference between college soccer and the professional game. College soccer is so much less competitive vs the professional game.. Does not look good for the her pro career. [/quote]

Since she failed to score in a college game, it looks bad for her pro career? What?[/quote]

Oh yes. You see it all the time in other sports. Look at the NCAA basketball tournament and college football. Makes or breaks draft positions if a player disappears in the big games or against other quality players. In college you may play against a top player once or twice a year. You have to be productive in those games and the big games when the pressure is the highest. That is what shows the player has what it takes to play at a higher level where all the players were stars in college.

It’s like the travel soccer forward who scores a lot of goals against the bottom tables teams but disappears when playing the top teams. Makes you look harder at that player. Is it a lack of speed, athleticism, problems against big players, technical skills, etc. Did the player get beat physically, make mental mistakes or was it the surrounding teammates? [/quote]

This isn’t how basketball works. Please tell me the major college recruits who plummeted in the draft because of their final college game. A lot of top picks go nowhere near the semis or finals of the tournament. [/quote]

Trevor Lawrence still went #1 after losing multiple national championship games. [/quote]

Male
Basketball

totally different topic and "rules"[/quote]

Wow. Not basketball. Are baseline knowledge and rationality also not part of the requirements to discuss women’s sports?  You sound unhinged. So tell me the women basketball players whose draft stock fell significantly because of their performance in the NCAA tournament. [/quote]
