Texas A&M guard Carter declares for WNBA draft

-

COLLEGE STATION, Texas, March 30, (AP): Texas A&M guard Chennedy Carter says she will forego her final year of eligibilit­y and declare for the WNBA draft.

Carter averaged 21.3 points this past season for the Aggies and scored 1,983 points in her three years at the school.

The second-team All-American had a 37-point effort against Tennessee this season – the most points scored by a Texas A&M player in an SEC game in program history. The WNBA announced Thursday that it’s draft will be virtual this year on April 17. Carter is the third highprofil­e college player to declare for the draft, joining Oregon’s Satou Sabally and UConn’s Megan Walker. Arizona guard Aari McDonald said on Sunday she was going back to school. Players have until April 7 to declare for the draft.

Meanwhile, Arizona guard Aari McDonald will return for her senior season, bypassing a chance to leave early for the WNBA.

“I am already counting down the days until I can get back on the court with my teammates and I can’t wait to play one more season in front of the best fans in the country,” she posted on Twitter. “Stay tuned because the best is yet to come.”

A 5-foot-6 guard, McDonald had an immediate impact after transferri­ng from Washington and sitting out a year, finishing third nationally with 24.1 points as a sophomore in 2018-19. She also broke current Wildcats’ coach Adia Barnes’ season scoring record with 890 points and was named an honorable mention AllAmerica­n by The Associated Press. however, and Brockers ended up going back to the Los Angeles Rams.

Wolfe joins Brandon Williams and newcomer Calais Campbell on Baltimore’s revamped defensive line.

When healthy, Wolfe has been an effective run-stopper. He has 299 career tackles and 33 sacks but has played all 16 games in only three of his eight seasons.

Wolfe, 30, came to the Broncos as a second-round pick in the 2012 draft.

The Detroit Lions agreed to terms with wide receiver Geronimo Allison.

The Lions announced the move Sunday.

The 26-year-old Allison comes to Detroit from division rival Green Bay. He caught 34 passes for 287 yards and two touchdowns last season.

Allison played the past four seasons with the Packers. Wide receiver was a position of strength for Detroit last season, with Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola each surpassing 60 catches and 600 yards receiving.

The Lions did not announce contract terms.
