The Olympic Team spots are not for “best WNBA guards.” The position description is much different and includes: knowing how to lead a team of other superstars, playing under international rules, being willing to make the commitment to show up for camps and tournaments other than the Olympics...

I need to weigh in here. Christyn played four years at UConn mostly injury-free. UConn practices are legendarily-brutal and UConn plays more games than almost any other team since they make it to their conference championship and the Final Four every year. Many teams have less talent than...

Was the commissioner taking a dump or does she only announce picks that are in the room?

We’ll-deserved! Am I just missing her on this list or was she not considered even a top-100 recruit? Makes the achievement all the more amazing and just goes to show these rankings, while interesting, are not the final word...

Wow! I am blown away by the handles and the shooting shown here. I‘m hoping this is a breakout year for Gabby, and as a bonus she’s with Stewie and Sue.

I wish everybody could just take a breath here. Losing your do-everything player of the year is tough. Also losing her backup is devastating. Point guard is the most important position. No, the offense didn’t look great even with Paige playing. But they had only four practice days to adjust...

I may butcher this but here’s the story I remember: A recruit was visiting was assigned to Taurasi for the weekend. The recruit was concerned about the weather and the social activities at Uconn and asked “but what do you DO here all winter?” To which Taurasi replied “We win championships.”...

Here are just two examples: #1: voted “most overrated” by her peers #2#. Won “defensive player of the year” voted by media but not selected to 1st or 2nd team all-defense as voted by the Coaches.

Highlight of the lottery for me tonight! (This aired live on ESPN.). Think our girl was happy with the Pelicans’ pick? :cool::):p;)

The pros have already taken notice of our future superstar! So excited to have this kid join the family.

I guess maybe things have changed since April? https://www.goupstate.com/story/sports/2021/04/13/south-carolina-basketball-coach-dawn-staley-has-no-desire-coach-men-wnba/7207086002/

A few times this past season during Geno’s press conferences there would be a question from a reporter that sounded VERY young. Turns out, she’s 10 and also pretty amazing. Reading this made me smile and also made me truly ashamed of my 10 year old self that was doing much...much... less. ...

Yikes. What are the odds of this story breaking at LSU the same day Ms. “knock ‘em in the face” is introduced? In other breaking LSU news...

Holly did. And then even Tina Thompson told her to “drown out the naysayers” or something like that. I’m sure everyone meant well, and the naysayer are definitely out there, but it just didn’t seem to be the time nor place.

I felt bad for her. How many #1 picks get asked about the “overrated” chant being directed at them?

Geno on roster (Apologies if this has already been posted/discussed.) Notice has been served: “I think Aaliyah made incredible progress from day one,” Auriemma said. “She’s really physical, she plays hard every possession, she competes for everything, she did a great job finishing around the...

This is an Olympic year (delayed) so I wonder if some foreign players will stay home to train, freeing up a few extra roster spots?

Wasn’t Rebecca Lobo “the worst post player in America”... until she wasn’t? ?

Well, in fairness they are the unanimous pandemic shortened regular season champions one year running.... ??

Nope! That’d be too easy and takes all the fun away. They’re all pretty odious, but who’s the least worst? ???

I voted for Stanford. Somehow over the years I’ve mellowed on Tara and they’re long overdue. But this was tough. ?

If UConn CAN’T win it all, who would you prefer to see as the Champion? And why? Note that “meteor strike” is not an option. ?

Wow! To me, that says that Seattle valued KLS, after two sub-par years in the league, more highly than anyone in the current draft class. KLS is the big winner here and good on her. Seems like such a great young woman and I root for her to succeed.

Am I understanding correctly, they traded the #1 pick for Lou?

I’m so impressed by Saylor. It‘s badass enough to simply have the confidence and courage to commit to UConn Women’s basketball. Then to decide to start early and enter that situation alone, mid-stream, rather than at the usual time with the safety net of the rest of her classmates. And then...

If I had to guess, Paige went back in specifically to help Saylor be as calm and successful in her debut as possible. Seemed like a pretty solid move to me.

C’mon! If we’re playing Tara’s greatest hits we have to mention “we have six Nykesha Sales’.” Followed promptly by a Sales -delivered beat down. ? p.s. I really respect Tara and her accomplishments but it’s still fun to reminisce! Courant

And Amari DeBerry! “We need bigs”.:);)

Does Atlanta still own the rights for Renee Montgomery and Tiffany Hayes? Both COVID opt-outs (I think) for 2020 but maybe back for 2021. Depending on their situation I’m not sure another guard makes sense there. Also, the weakness of this draft makes that Megan Walker recruiting class “miss”...

I really enjoyed this. Felt bad for them for all of the technical issues. Felt bad for me every time they called on Alexa and sent the evil little digital spy living in my house into a frenzy. twice she tried to play music and once just responded with the standard “I don’t know that one.”...

I have so many thoughts on this. First and foremost, I love Megan, was thrilled when she chose Uconn, and I enjoyed watching her for three years. After her "disappointing" freshman season there was a lot of chatter about her transferring but to her credit she she stuck it out. Lord knows her...

Delle Donne is a homebody, pure and simple. Given a choice of anything it seems she wants to be home. I think I even saw that her and her wife live in a converted garage on her parents’ property. (Could be very wrong there). I’m not sure she plays internationally during the winter either...
