Jence Rhoads might attend graduate school in the future â€â€ just not in the immediate future.
After she graduates from Vanderbilt in May with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies, Rhoads hopes to do what she has done for most of her life â€â€ play basketball.
The 5-foot-11 guard who spent the last four years climbing up the Vanderbilt women’s basketball record charts intends to make a living playing basketball professionally and that journey could start on Monday.
The WNBA will hold its annual draft at 2 p.m. (ESPN) and Rhoads hopes to hear her name called before the three-round, 36-selection event concludes.
“If someone wants me then, yeah, I think I deserve to be drafted,” Rhoads said. “If they don’t want me, then I will find another way to play.”
