Thanks Don. I was having a “senior moment“ when I wrote that comment. How could I forget about Momma E? That makes it even more challenging. Three former starters gone. That’s a lot of leadership and experience leaving. I’m not suggesting that - that team should worry or won’t be formidable, it will. How good they will be compared to THIS team will remain to be seen. I expect all of the top 7 ranked teams at that time to be exceptionally good. We know who’s team this will be next year if it’s not already. :rolleyes:

Yes it's already her team and has been since last mid season. On the floor that is, little doubt who ran things on court. Off the court it was obviously Momma E, I expect thigs to continue this coming season.

With the leadership qualities shown by EW along with her basketball skills, I see EW as going before CW in the draft. At least if I'm doing the drafting!

I’ll go out on a limb. Christyn & Evina will be the first 2 guards drafted by the W next spring, in no particular order….

Luv ya dude, but kinda early to make that call.
Lotta “road” between here and there.

I’m sure there are plenty of talented guards around the country, but from my brief review, there aren’t a lot of “senior” guards that I’m aware of with more talent than UConn’s 2 seniors.

Tha fact that she is a BIG (6’0”) guard won’t hurt either. She doesn’t look that BIG on TV. WNBA coaches and GM’s will watch her as they will all of the other senior guards coming out after the season.
 
I feel like a lot of wnba teams should be looking at the success of Alisha Clark and say I think I can get me one of those by drafting Evina Westbrook.

sorry but that's jut not true. Williams is a top 5 wnba player and Westbrook is going if she goes 1st at the 8-12 range.

Would be surprised if Williams or Odada comeback, they are prob both 1st rders. Only one that might have of coming back is Westbrook. I don't see many mocks of her going rd 1

Who is "Odada"?
It kinda bugs some BYers when posters misspell a player's name...:rolleyes:

I do have that in mind. I think it was a hasty, over-reaction. A blanket "pardon" wasn't necessary, and did nothing for the departed seniors who really were the aggrieved party.

I think the decision was made partly to keep teams competitive in a year where no one knew how many games might be played, when a season could be cancelled for everyone or by specific teams. If the season would count as an eligible year, how many players would have opted out when games started being cancelled or before any games were played - who knows, but whole teams ended up opting out anyway.

It is certainly a messy situation for the next three years, and will have an impact on individual team record books, conference record books, and NCAA record books. It will impact recruiting and team composition and give coaches more gray hairs. Transfers went through the roof this year, partly because of rules changes, but also significantly impacted by grad transfers with extra years of eligibility.

Sometimes autocorrect changes a lot of things, even after you've proof read your comment and pushed the "post reply" button. Autocorrect has a mind of its own. 95% of the comments I write are on my cellphone. Most of the time I log on the the yard, it's on my phone when I'm away from my home office.

Lots of times I've had to go back and correct something that autocorrect has changed that I did not want changed, or left a letter off of a word I had spelled correctly in the first place. I hate autocorrect!! :mad:

One thing is for sure, she won't be asked or expected to carry this team. Waaaaaayyy too much talent on this team for that. If anything, the team will carry her. :)

A lot of folks don't realize that Clark DID NOT come from a P5 program. She played 2 years at Belmont, then transferred to Middle Tennessee State.

Pretty sure it is the AI in your phone just screwing with you.
