2023 UConn in the WNBA (tracker)

How many former SC players are in the league? Coates was waived. So was Beal. So was Hennie.

Off the top of my head:

Wilson
Mitchell
Boston
Saxton
Amihere
Cooke
 
Dodson didn't make it.

I want to see what a healthy Jess Shepard can do. I think she could be effective with Phee and Dorka.
I thought that was going to be a tough go for Maya Dodson. Dorka Juhasz and Jess Shepard are both taller and more versatile. Dodson's come a long way, but she didn't have a medium-range jumper her year at ND, which Dorka and Shep have in their took kits.

It's been awhile, but Phee and Shep interact well on court. Heck, I seem to recall them joking about knowing each other since various U.S.A. events.

So, ND has 10 alums on Opening Day Rosters, second to UConn.

Allisha Gray? Spent first two years at UNC, but went to South Carolina and won a NC.

Does a player like Charli Collier if she goes to UConn end up being a decent WNBA player rather than getting waived. Coach Auriemma clearly makes some difference.

I knew about Gray, but forgot to list her. I also forgot about Ty Harris.

Gabby might be on the way to Seattle -


"It’s believed Williams terminated her contract and played her final game Wednesday with her French team ASVEL, which has a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three league finals. Game 2 is Saturday."

Suffering through another concussion (May 9) and upon recovery, she played Game 1 but did not Game 2; I am quite certain that Tony Parker/the Team took this into consideration and produced a documentation of this contract termination. They won Game 2 without her after losing Game 1. Deciding game to be played but she won't be playing. I think she and Parker may have decided that it's for the best for both ASVEL and the French National Team for her to continue developing in the WNBA. If the WNBA accepts this and grants grace for delayed travel because of post-concussion recovery, then Seattle will get her back. It would be a shame if the WNBA does not allow it.

Marine Johannes doesn't have the same problem as Gabby because she hasn't played enough years in the WNBA. I think that applies to Julie Allemand as well. They can join their WNBA teams without a hurdle.
 
More detail on Gabby's situation:

Well, if she doesn't choose the WNBA, she will have time for national training camps, don't forget that the olympics are in Paris next year
 
Will Bria Harttley or Tina Charlles be engaged ?
I can't see both of them being retired because of no contract

Hartley is recovering from an ACL tear. Not sure she will be back this year. Can't say about Charles.

I think Tina Charles has made it clear in previous public comments that she is not going to play in the WNBA just for a paycheck or to set individual records. She wants to be on a championship team (which she has never been), and won't accept an offer unless it comes from a team that has a plausible chance to win it all in 2023 with her contribution.

So that would be Las Vegas or New York, but I don't see why either of them would need her or could afford her. At the next tier are Chicago, Washington, and Connecticut. The Sun have a well-established front court that they may not want to disrupt, but Chicago and Washington could use some help in their front court, and may be plausible destinations. They may also have more salary cap room than the Sun.
 
Is there any news of the status of Gabby Williams, She was released by ASVELles before the finishing date and was on concussion protocol but has the League spoken about her evntual status ?

All Quiet on the Western Front.*

*at least thus far.
