You're listening to DraftKings Network.
Roz Gold-Onwude 0:23
Hey, what's up, everyone? Welcome to Good Follow Show, presented by DraftKings. I'm Roz Gold on Wednesday, and that is Angel McCottery, five-time WNBA All-Star, two-time Olympic gold medalist. What's up, Angel? How you doing? We're doing good, man. We had a good weekend for Halloween, right? I saw Angel out at a Halloween party. I was Red Lobster, but I really am not sure what your costume was. What were you?
Angel McCoughtry 0:48
I was Woman King. I was a warrior.
Roz Gold-Onwude 0:51
Okay, now that I think about it, you did have a shield.
Angel McCoughtry 0:53
I had a shield, man. And I had my little jewelry, my Wakanda jewelry. Are you recovered from Halloween? I'm still recovering, man. It takes two days, three days when you hit into 40. It takes a little time.
Roz Gold-Onwude 1:05
Yeah, yeah. No, for sure. For sure. And actually, come out of Halloween, I've actually been on the road. I'm in Nashville, Tennessee right now. Ooh. Checking in on Athletes Unlimited Women's Basketball here. They had kind of like a welcome dinner and a whole lot of like kind of preseason festivities, getting the Nashville community, you know, really excited about the basketball that's going to be happening here and everything. So to check out AAU, it's five-on-five basketball. So it's the game that you're used to watching. And it's interesting scoring because players are individually scored, like positive or negative, based on stats and play and how the team does. And then they crown an individual champion at the end of it.
Angel McCoughtry 1:54
Nice.
Roz Gold-Onwude 1:54
Yeah. It's really focused on player development. It's pretty cool. But it was nice to see the returners and all the new players. One thing I will say is AU put a really impressive roster together this season. And there's a lot of star power, a lot of great stories, and a lot of potential for players to make the most of this opportunity.
Angel McCoughtry 2:15
Well, something's brewing there, Roz, because it's in Nashville and maybe there might be a WNBA team there. So something's going on there and you're right in the midst of it. So that should be fun. Look forward to seeing you at AU.
Roz Gold-Onwude 2:25
Oh, that's interesting. You bring up WNBA teams formation and things like that because we got a show menu today where we'll be tapping into a lot of these types of topics. So let me give you today's menu for the show because we've got a lot of juicy topics here. CBA negotiations are still going on. So they reached a deal to extend 30 days. October 31 came and we get more time to potentially come to agreement between the WNBA and the players. We discuss. Then we're giving out flowers to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2026, which was just announced. And we're going to discuss how the transfer portal has impacted the overall NCAA college landscape, but also TCU, which kind of is the poster child, if you will, for transferring and the transfer portal in college basketball.
Roz Gold-Onwude 3:20
So we'll take a deep dive as college basketball is underway. At the time of taping, the NCAAW season just started. So season's greetings to all of you who celebrate.
Angel McCoughtry 3:30
Yes. Well, we have a good show lined up, Roz. You guys can continue to like, comment and subscribe to our show. You know, we drop every Tuesday and Thursday. Let's get into it, Roz.
Roz Gold-Onwude 3:40
OK, let's let's start off with the CBA extension. Last Thursday, the WNBPA and the league agreed to a 30 day extension for negotiations. Now making the deadline November 30th. In the past couple of months, tensions have been rising between the Players Association and the WNBA. And as you remember, there were pay us what you owe us t-shirts, of course, at the All-Star Game. Then Nafisa Collier's four-minute pre-prepared statement, putting Kathy Engelbert, the commissioner in the league, on blast. The stage has been set for where we are now, but it seems like both sides are motivated to make this happen and giving each other 30 more days to do this, although there is opportunity to opt out. And that was important for the players that they could if they don't like the way things are going, they at any point, you know, have a chance to say, forget the extension.
