Who else is missing? The criteria seems pretty cut and dry…?

Reading is fundamental. My bad!

Well, the easy answer without going back in time is Napheesa Collier, who was part of the last NCAA UConn Championship (2016) and made First Team all WNBA this year....

I can only think of Diana, Candace, Maya, Stewie and A’ja. I’m sure Swoopes is in as well, but I don’t know much about her Collegiate career.

Edit: We can throw Olympic Gold in there as well.

What team has had the most top five recruits? UConn gets the best players and has the best coach so I don't know why it would be a shock to anyone that they dominate any team that measures success. It is also why they won over 100 games in a row, won 11 titles and go to every Final 4. Most of all it will be why they go undefeated this year and win #12.

Uhh, yeah. I think we all know that to be fact - except that last sentence which still has to be proven before it can be considered fact. The past does not prove the future.
