NBA draft deadline is here as players make the decision to enter the draft early.  The underclassmen’s have the opportunity to test out the waters with the option of joining the draft and seeing if they have a chance landing in one of the professional teams. One of the key players that everyone is worried about is Kemba Walker, which is listed as a lottery pick if he does decide to enter the draft. Kemba Walker led the Huskies to A National Championship this year with a win over Butler Bulldogs.

Her first WNBA game is against the Indiana Fever on May 24.

Good Afternoon! Today the Rock Womans Basketball team had the chance of meeting the new strength and conditioning Coach Christina Presswood.

The coaching staff is really working hard to improve this team of previous losing records.

He expresses how he wish he could tell the 6 young men that he forgives them for their actions.
