I wonder how much Edwards--17--will get to play on a Canadian team that has an average age of 26.

Khadijah Sessions has got to be exhibit A in making the case that playing for the national team coach in college gives you an advantage with USAB.
Obviously we don't know who may have turned down an invite but are we that short that we can't get someone who at least was on a WNBA roster?

My thoughts exactly.

OK I just going to go ahead and say this: Khadijah Sessions? She is probably familiar with Dawn's style/offense but is she the type of player that going to give the other players in the gym a real run?
Off the top of my dome Tiffany Mitchell, Allisha Gray, Tyasha Harris, or Kaela Davis would provide better competition.

What is Canada's situation? Do they need to top 3 finish in PR to qualify for Olympics or World cup?

Different format now. Top 8 from the AmeriCup will qualify for 2 qualification tournaments. Top 2 from those two tournaments will qualify for the Olympics. So, Canada is safe at this stage. Top 3 teams are US, Canada and probably Brazil. Who knows after that. US will play in these tournaments but already is in the Olympics because of WC win in 2018.

I think the numbers somewhat reflect their temporary status on the national team in lieu of the talent that's not available right now.

Interesting, the Most of the Player's numbers have changed since the first post of the roster. More in line with the normal number systems used in NCAA and WNBA (no individual number bigger than a 5), and in line with the numbers we have come to know them by...notable Lou now is #33

Kia got lots of minutes but she was the 4th option on offense before she got to UConn, spending most of her offensive minutes hanging out on the weakside perimeter and not seeing the ball much. She was listed as the pg in name only. Eventually her aggressive nature and talent led to a bigger role.

One thing I have never understood - how can Puerto Rico have a team when they are US citizens? I thought to play international sports you needed to be a citizen of the country you play for but to my knowledge Puerto Rico has no citizenship other than US.

I guess they needed a PG more, and they probably didn’t want to take Harris away from school because, let’s face it, only a few from this 12-member AmeriCup team will be on the Olympic roster: Fowles, DeShields, and maybe Collier.

There are numerous situations where non-nations have fielded international teams. Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland all compete independently in international sporting competitions for example. And non-standard geographies have also competed separately. At other times a geographic grouping of countries have also competed as a single entity - in Cricket for example there is a team called the West Indies that for years were the best in the world, that included Jamaica, Trindad and Tobago, Barbados, etc.

Ahem: Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland are nations. Indeed, those teams are often referred to as the Home Nations or Home Countries. British federalism is more nuanced and complex than American federalism, but telling a Scot that Scotland isn't a nation isn't likely to end well! And some have argued that a chief cause of Brexit was the English being the only national peoples in the world without their own legislative body.

The Brexit movement encompasses a lot of things, most perfectly valid and very good .... but some would argue the chief reason it passed the referendum is xenophobia.

I just started watching. USA up 11-6 with 6 minutes into the first quarter. I’m assuming the players currently on the floor started too: Coller, Canada, Diamond, Charles and Fowles
