Yeah, I saw that it's so cool! With Viola Davis, Cynthia Erivo, and Idris Elba in Children of Blood and Bone..... Maybe joining her older brother?!?
Side question for the resident Valkyries expert:
Did Temi ever sign her qualifying offer? If not, is she coming over this season? What are the rules?
She never did and I think today was the deadline for her to sign the QO? It doesn’t look like she did, but it just means Valkyries retain her rights and they can still work out a contract, if she is playing in the W this season.
What do you think the chances of her signing this season are?
We were talking to Julie Vanloo a few weeks ago, and she said Eurobasket might have a major impact on the availability of international players. Given their international-heavy lineup, how do you think this will affect the Valkyries?
That’s a good question. I really have no idea on Temi.
EuroBasket will definitely have some impact. I think most of the reporting I’ve seen (shout out to Marisa Ingemi) is that the Valkyries do expect some of the players to come over this season - maybe those players miss a few weeks for EB.
FYI: Julie Vanloo is super cool and would make a great podcast guest! She's incredibly engaging and open to talk about any and everything related to the W and European basketball.
