9 alums in the WNBA (10 when Jess shepherd returns from injury) and 8 of them are in the starting lineup! So proud of how you continue to represent ND Wbb

The tweet's from just a couple days ago. Notice anyone missing when she lists everyone's twitter handles? She even said 9 and proceeded to list 8. 🥶

Very immature on McGraw’s part, too old to still be this salty._________________

Major shade, indeed, but McGraw did qualify her list as containing graduates, which Loyd is not...

I too considered her list of shoutouts being only of graduates. But actually, “alum,” the word she used to describe all of them, is defined as a person having attended or graduated from a school. (Source here)
Additionally, I’m not even sure Jackie Young graduated since she too entered the Draft a year early, yet McGraw has had no bone to pick with her about that decision...

Was just about to say this. She remembers that #1 pick though and not the schools first !

Not a fan of her antics. It’s just petty.

I remember reading about how she was just starting to go back in Summer 2017. It's possible though that she did in fact finish those classes but did not announce the completion of those classes. Though I assumed she didn't actually end up graduating simply cuz we never heard about it. Idk.
Boy though, back to the issue at hand. We still don't know the whole story as it relates to how exactly Loyd let McGraw know she was leaving (maybe she did it by text, who knows), but it's clear by her retweets and replies that she doesn't get McGraw's shade in this moment. Even if Loyd did legitimately wrong McGraw, it's been over five years, and she's now retired... in the words of mavcarter: Let that hurt go, Muffet! 😩

My bad not confirming the definition of alum
I also saw that Loyd returned to finish with the goal of completing her degree in 2017 but see nothing to indicate that she did.
Looks like it was a late notification to McGraw because of her need to declare close to the deadline. Loyd had told her a month prior that she was coming back.
Quote: |
Loyd is in New York preparing for Thursday’s draft and did not attend the team banquet. Tuesday was the first time that McGraw spoke publicly about a decision that she learned of "about an hour" after Notre Dame's final game. It's one that she has seemingly struggled with over the last week.
Acceptance won’t come easily for the Hall of Fame coach.
“I was shocked when Jewell told me she was leaving,” McGraw told WSBT’s Carl Deffenbaugh prior to Tuesday’s banquet. “We’re incredibly disappointed in so many ways. It was a real blow.
“It was a bad day.”
Bad in the fact that because of WNBA draft regulations, there was very little time for McGraw to convince Loyd that she should return to school for her senior season. Loyd, who told McGraw late the night of April 7, had about 24 hours after that to officially declare for the draft. The deadline for her to do so was 11:59 p.m. on April 8. McGraw said that Loyd had told her “three or four weeks ago” that she would be back next season, even though, at age 22, she was WNBA draft eligible.
McGraw had few reasons to think twice about Loyd changing her mind – until Loyd told her that she had indeed done just that.
It likely took a while for McGraw to process that the first team Associated Press All-American and two-time Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year would not return to chase another league championship and Final Four in 2016.
“I think I was numb,” McGraw told WSBT. “I don’t really know what her reason is (for leaving). I don’t know.” |

Shortly after Loyd declared:
Quote: |
The All-American said she discussed her choice to turn pro with Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw and finally told her hours after the Irish lost to UConn of her decision.
"She's like another mother to me and she was clearly disappointed, but she gave me a hug," Loyd said. |
https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/wnba/2015/04/16/jewell-loyd-happy-with-decision-to-turn-pro/25890461/
McGraw was clearly butt-hurt, but yeah, let it go after more than five years and be happy for her!

Little Miss Muffet
sat on a tuffet,
eating her sour rye.
There came a fine Jewel,
who said bye, bye school,
and made petty Muffet cry. |
