Make that two great Michigan post players to take their game to the next level.
Less than one week after Michigan center Robert Traylor declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft, Michigan center Pollyanna Johns followed suit.
After leading her team to one of the best seasons in Michigan women's basketball history, Johns signed a player contract with the Women's National Basketball Association last Thursday.
Johns, Michigan's all-time leader in field-goal percentage and career rebounding average, will wait until the WNBA draft on April 29 to find out for which of the 10 franchises she will play.
The WNBA signed five other college seniors to contracts on the same day as Johns, including the Western Athletic and Big Sky Conference players of the year.
The league will hold a pre-draft camp for prospective players at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago from April 16-18.
