Congrats to Kiah and Stef. I'm also a bit surprised Tiff Hayes was not asked to be part of it, but more shocked that Nneka was left off the team. Only thing I can think of is that she declined. Also, what about Tolliver? Vandersloot? McBride? Did you know Hayes is #11 in the league in scoring this year? And McBride is in the top 10.
I get Copper. She was very impressive for a very unimpressive Rutgers team (what else is new!?). Not sure how Dolson gets selected, but Ogwumike is kept off.
Yes, very odd. Tolliver has been amazing this year, and probably the key part that pulls together that fantastic front line of the LA Sparks. Vandersloot isn't selected? She's been amazing. Nneka off? She's amazing. And why not include the can't-miss Olympian A'ja Wilson? There's no rule against bringing in college players. Look at Breanna. Wilson is the best player in the college game, and, if she were permitted to go pro, would be a sure-fire top-ten scorer in the league. And Diggins- yes, her absence is odd.
Perhaps the Olympic committee that selects all of these kids should show up for a presser and explain their choices. Particularly after the U-17 debacle this summer, shouldn't the powers that be explain what they're doing and why? Can't see why clarity is something to be feared.
