According to the Sacramento Bee, Monarchs boss John Whisenant was most pleased to find Jessica Dickson available as his second round pick. He and coach Jenny Boucek had projected her as a first-rounder.
Whisenant said he's gambling long-term on third round pick Meg Bulger, who missed more than a full season with a torn ACL.
Until I see Dickson, I'll be miffed that the Monarchs passed on Stanford's Brooke Smith, but either would be exceptionally hard-pressed to earn a spot on this Monarchs team. Among Sacramento's three second-year players -- Scholanda Dorrell, Kim Smith, Brittany Wilkins -- only Dorrell looks to be off the bubble.
I haven't seen Melody Gutierrez's byline since Sacramento State hired a new football coach. She wields the real power in the Monarchs community; Whiz must answer her phone calls.
