It would be awesome if Jada could finally become a contributor on the court!

Hell, even 5-7 pts a game would be significant.

The quote isn't great, but elite women's basketball recruits more than most probably should make NIL opportunities an important factor in college decisions.

The WNBA is maybe the toughest league to make as a player. The 2024 draft was considered a good one, and so far only 11 players from that draft have played in the league and not been cut. And two of those 11 (Nika Muhl and Marquesha Davis) barely play.

For those that do make it, WNBA rookie contracts are less than $100,000 per year for 4 years.

In men's basketball, AJ Green went undrafted in the NBA Draft, but just got guaranteed a $2.1 million contract. The NFL minimum salary is just under $800,000 and there are 1,700 players on a roster at any given time. Many pro baseball players get a hefty signing bonus once drafted, even if they never make MLB. Women's basketball just isn't in the same stratosphere in terms of earning potential at the moment.
