link?Meanwhile in Chicago, Lou just posted on her Instagram stories and she already has a black eye on her third day there. Contact always seems to find her face smh.
Taking this 'Sky Blue' thing a bit too seriously.
You can’t link stories, but here is a screenshot.
I’ll make you a deal. I’ll post that story for you if you start your own thread. This is Collier thread. I’m repping Collier only in this thread.
lol thank you
There's a story on the Lynx website:
Training Camp Report | Lynx Anchored By Familiar Faces As They Welcome A Changed Team
The Lynx kicked off their 2019 training camp on Sunday, welcoming a ton of new faces into the building and getting off to a great start in what is sure to be a productive, fun, competitive two weeks.lynx.wnba.com
I had no idea there were only four returning players:
"Reeve was upfront in saying that there will be a learning curve, after all there are only four returning players from last season. However, it’s a bright, competitive group, and they are anchored by the always-solid Seimone Augustus, Sylvia Fowles and Danielle Robinson."
From Sylvia Fowles:
“These girls are amazing; it feels good to actually have some people that we can run with. These young legs, fresh out of college, I’m liking the process of just keeping up which is good for me because I like to run. They out here doing their thing and they’re making the coaches’ job real hard about who they are going to pick for the season.”
Given that there are only four returning from last year's roster, I'm not as sure about my earlier remark that they'll be competitive this season, but I still think with Collier, Shepard, Karima, Lexie Brown et al., they will be.

Normally, the Lynx roster is one of the hardest rosters in the W. to make for rookies and free agents. With only 4 returning players in camp, there's 8 openings this year.
The “4” must be the returning players in camp NOW. Not sure where that number came from.
They would be
Robinson
Augustus
Fowles
Larkins - She was a fill-in player last year that stuck because Brunson had a season-ending injury. Not sure she survives the whole season this year.
But there’s two players from last season that are arriving late from overseas obligations.
They would be
Fagbenle
Zandalisini
Both are locks.
There’s also returning players from previous seasons
Dantas (2014-2015), a lock... might be starter
Shao Ting (2017 camp), not sure how she’ll do
“This is the most new-ness we’ve had since my first camp in 2010… There’s going to be a lot more teaching,” Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said after practice. “Things that were just a well-oiled machine, I could say something and people knew what I was talking about, this group has no clue.”
