Maybe we were onto something ...

I'm doing a follow-up on a zero-comment post, one that has even less USF relevance, but I thought I'd pass along that those basketball geniuses at the Sacramento Monarchs drafted a player who was not available: West Virginia's Meg Bulger.

Bulger has another year of eligibility at West Virginia and certainly hadn't declared herself for the draft pool. West Virginia issued a statement basically explaining that and saying how they're looking forward to having Meg back for her senior year. My question is this: if your team is only drafting two players from its primary once-a-year source of new talent, how can you completely botch one of those two picks? To take Bulger tells me you (a) never talked to her and (b) never talked to anyone remotely related to West Virginia.

So the good news for Bulls fans is that Jessica Dickson has one less player to compete with for a roster spot in Sacramento. And one of the Big East's better returning women's basketball players is, in fact, still returning.
