Hopefully this is an anomaly but it is a reality that the program must come to grips with and reverse the trend.  In the 2020 WNBA draft Megan Walker was the 9th player  selected  notably behind Herbert Harrigan of SC and Bella Allarie of Princeton.  In 2022 WNBA draft and for the first time in a very long time UCONN had not only one but an entire class of highly ranked HS players prospects  (CW, Evina, and ONO) fail to develop and improve in their time as UCONN players.   It is staggering that there were 5 centers (Austin, Sabally, Egbo, Cunanane, & Cubaj) picked ahead of  Olivia.   Even more staggering that there were 7 (Howard, Hull, Burton, Burrell, Bell, Clouden, & Pointer) guards picked ahead of Christyn Williams and Evina.  Keep in mind that these are "professional" basketball GMs making these decisions not a college coach deciding to hand out a scholarship or the BY sticking up for their favorite UCONN players.   I also suspect these  "failures to develop" will be used against UCONN in current and future recruiting battles.   
  [USER=7136]@Jingo[/USER] you tracking any of this?  Whatever  happened to "Liv being a lock for the WNBA lottery" and who becomes your least favorite player now that CW is moving on?
