I don't think he can do much more than hook her up with some Cyclones that have played overseas recently and have them get her recommendations on agents. Seriously, coaches aren't out beating the overseas league bushes looking for jobs for former players. Even if they had the time and wanted to they don't have the connections or knowledge. What they do have is contacts for alumni Cyclones who have played pro. Bridget obviously has an agent as did Poppens. Poppens would be a good person to talk to, she kinda played everywhere and just retired this year so has very current experience. Played in Australia, Lebanon and Sweden last season alone!

The former player that I think may hold the record for most places played might be Britt Wilkins. I know she played for a couple different WNBA teams in addition to multiple overseas gigs. I know she played in Australia, Europe and Japan and I believe is now living in Japan and teaching and coaching there.
