All-American forward Candace Parker will skip her senior season at Tennessee.

The redshirt junior will graduate at the end of this season and wants to participate in the Summer Olympics and pursue a professional career, coach Pat Summitt said Thursday.

By skipping her final year of eligibility, Parker has the chance to enter the WNBA draft in April. She would likely go as the top pick.

The Los Angeles Sparks hold the top pick, which would give Parker the opportunity to play alongside Lisa Leslie and former teammates Sidney Spencer and Tye'sha Fluker.

Well, I suppose it's a little different because she's already been at school for 4 years, but would this make her the 1st Women's player to leave school with eligibility left?

Really? Marvin was the number two pick so he is getting good money. But does anyone honestly believe she will be relevant in 3 years or so. She'll be noticed because of the Olympics and she'll be talked about because of the number 1 pick thing etc. But in the end she'll just be like Swoops, Cooper, Leslie, Lobo, Weatherspoon. Just names that really don't mean anything to anyone.

He is ugly.

He looks like the squid General that led the Rebal fleet against the Death Star.
