Looking ahead to 2028 and Los Angeles and the W will be in a much better position, which means Team USA by proxy will be in a much better position as well.

You’re like Cheryl Miller, show me the bread, right?

What do you think Team USA could look like in 2028 in Los Angeles?

I expect this rookie class will be seeing all of them there.

It was controversial if Caitlin should have been there or not, perhaps it was a misplay to not have her there, you know, perhaps learning what USA basketball is about so that she could lead them into the next journey of that.

Regardless, she wasn’t put on the team.

So I expect to see Caitlin, maybe we’ll see Angel Reese, who has done a fantastic job as a rebounder in the WNBA.

We’ll see how she continues to grow as an overall player in the WNBA.

I think Cameron Brink is going to be an Olympian, coming back from the injury.

I wonder in 2028 in LA.

So I think with it being in LA, Juju would be a rookie in the WNBA, that would be her rookie season.

So I think with the ties with what I’m expecting for Juju, I think she is going to be bigger than all these girls and she’s going to be more marketable as time goes on.

She’s at a legacy school, she’s in Los Angeles, we’re going to see more of her.

You damn right, she better be on the team.
