I know this is an issue on the boys/men side, but True Hoop asks four questions about the recruiting wars, OJ Mayo, Colleges, NBA, shoes, and agents. If the situation is happening there, how soon will it infect the girls/women's side?

OUTDOOR BALL
The New York Liberty is hosting the first professional outdoor basketball game. The upcoming history-breaking “Liberty Outdoor Classic” will take place on Saturday, July 19th when the Liberty will play the Indiana Fever in what will be the first regular season outdoor game in professional basketball history. The game will take place at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the home of tennis' U.S. Open. A portion of the proceeds from the historic game’s ticket sales will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Former Gopher Janell McCarville is a member of the Liberty.

MAKING THE WNBA
Wisconsin's Jolene Anderson (South Shore) has made the final cut to make the Connecticut Sun.
