Charli Collier declared for the WNBA draft.

 

[eebmg]

Her stock is as high as it can be. And she has probably seen enough of Baylor

By the way, what is the deadline to declare?

 

[dtbtbtb]

Good decision..she's projected number 1 overall and will not be that next season

Charli Collier declared for the WNBA draft.

Before the NCAA's are over? Isn't that unusual?

Good Decision for her. However I don't see her as a Super Star in the WNBA. She'll be a good player but not a dominant one.

 

[PJCLaw]

Not really as she has been asked about it for quite some time, and probably wanted to end the speculation. She is still eligible to play as long as she doesn't sign with an agent.

Players have to declare for the draft at least ten days before the draft date UNLESS they’re still playing in a post season tournament. If they are, they have 24 hours after their final game to declare.

I don’t think the latter will be an issue this year. I believe the draft is scheduled for April 15 and the championship game is April 4.

 

[eebmg]

The story points out that Dallas will very likely take her and she is a TX girl

Ok then why declare so early?

Not a great message to your team I think as they prepare for the postseason?

It’s unusual, but I can see announcing so people just stop asking about it and stop speculating. I’m sure her teammates already knew, now she can just play what she has left and make her exit.

Yeah, I don't ever remember a guy declaring before the Tournament ends.

 

[HuskyNan]

Announcing might help Texas’s recruiting

Wonder if Dallas trading to get that top pick influenced her decision?

Was it bad for Tuck to announce before the tournament?

 

[UConnCat]

Was it bad for Tuck to announce before the tournament?

It would not have been bad had Morgan announced before the tournament but she didn't. She announced the morning after the championship game though her plan was not a secret.

I think it’s smart for her as she can go in focused and doesn’t have to worry about media speculation. I’m sure her team has known for a while, tbh.

Didn't she participate in senior day?

 

[UConnCat]

Didn't she participate in senior day?

I don't know but she announced her decision to go to the WNBA on Sportscenter the day after the championship game.

She did not

 

[DaBball]

I believe Sabally also announced before (what would have been) last year’s NCAA tournament.

Probably relieves a lot of stress/pressure and allows them to focus on the tournament.

 

[UConnCat]

She did not

I think she did. Geno wanted her to celebrate that day with her classmates regardless of her decision on entering the draft.

 

[Vowelguy]

She did not

Yes, she did.

 

[Vowelguy]

Ok did she officially announce? No

But she participated in senior day and that is understood to be your last (regular season) home game. And Geno has said you only get 1 senior day.

So it was tantamount to an announcement. I dont think it was a bad message to her team as they prepared for the NCAA s.

 

[oldude]

My bad. You are correct.
