Cut from last year's Lynx, onetime New Mexico Lobos star Jordan Adams battled a bevy of injuries in her overseas and NWBL career. Now she's working at Lobo Reunion Camp and seeking high school coaching jobs. "In college, it was easier and I was part of a team that wanted to be successful," she complains; in the pros, "everyone's just in it for themselves."

Plenty of players approximate Adams' career path-- dominance in a less-than-top-tier conference, one season coming off the bench in the W, a frustrating couple of years overseas, then attempts to move into coaching. Few, however, can count on the amazing Lobo fan base.
