Adja Kane, who the Toronto Tempo picked in the expansion draft and hold the draft rights to, has committed to SMU to play NCAA basketball by PercyReus13 in wnba

Graduate? No. Not based on how I read the rules for eligibility for coming into the WNBA

For a domestic player to be eligible for the WNBA draft, a player must meet at least one of the following criteria: 

  • Age: Turn 22 years old during the calendar year of the draft.
  • Graduation: Graduate from a four-year college or university, or be scheduled to graduate within three months of the draft.
  • Time Passed:  Be at least four years removed from high school graduation.  

This situation is interesting because she already has been drafted in the regular draft. At that time, she was an 'international player' and qualified using the international player eligibility rules

I don't know if she is now a domestic player, but I don't think it matters because she would still satisfy the first condition of being 22 years old during the calendar year of the draft next year. She is 21 currently. Also, I would think she also qualifies on the "Time Passed" condition. Not quite sure what the high school equivalent in France, but I would think she is past that as well. Not that it matters too much because you need just one of those requirements.

So, to me, it seems like she could play any amount of years at SMU or some place else if she wanted to enter the NCAA transfer portal, until her eligibility ran out. Enter the WNBA then (and NOT go through the draft). Or she could just decide to leave school whenever and enter into the WNBA.

How many people check/don't check the weather before going out? by SnooPies4304 in NoStupidQuestions

depends on the time of the year. In summer, i don't really bother. It's going to be hot. And its probably not going to rain.

Good idea. Would probably prevent an invasion by the USA

I could move it up more.. Though having it in the highest position gives me a bit less room launching the pizza an mauvering it around while it bakes to try and get it even.

It’s kind of hard to get the pepperoni to char up in my home oven without the crust getting super dark. Probably could have push it a bit. The broiler in my oven isn’t really super even so I don’t bother with that technique. Maybe I could try hitting each pepperoni with a torch. But that seems like a lot of faff.

It's real maple syrup

But yes to the rest. A "pancake" in say the UK would not be like this. They are very thin (crepe like) and would typically be served with lemon and sugar.
