Class/roster size

[Alydar]

Well if we’re just speculating, what if, in addition to Megan & Evina declaring for the draft, Liv, Christyn, Anna & Aubrey all enter the transfer portal? Then UConn would have to play the whole season with 5 freshmen and no subs.....

Yes, that is true. But Inferences based on other inferences is not evidence.

The definition of “speculation” is the forming of a theory or conjecture without evidence. What evidence do you have that either Megan or Evina will declare for the draft at the end of this season?

Never said they would. Only that they are eligible.

All I said was that they are eligible after posts speculated about the size of next year's roster. Someone said they weren't and I corrected them. Does anyone deny the facts?

Based on the facts we currently know, next year’s roster will have 11 players on it: 2 seniors, 2 juniors, 2 sophomores & 5 freshmen. There are no other facts in evidence presently that would lead any thoughtful individual to believe anything else.

I feel like I'm back in my logic class.

We don't know next year's roster size because there are several variables. I named one. Another is the possibility of transfers. Another is injury. There are others but my point is that of the nine current players, 5 will have exhausted their eligibility if they remain healthy. Another 2 are eligible to enter the draft.

Anything beyond that is speculation. And the speculation started before I entered the discussion.

That’s an extremely remote possibility. UConn will be Megan’s team next year as a senior. She’s not going anywhere. Evina too has lots of reasons to play next year: winning a championship, developing her game, advancing her draft stock and, perhaps most importantly, a return trip to Knoxville as part of the reviled UConn Huskies WBB team.

Losing either to an unexpected WNBA decision would be disappointing to all of us who are expecting them to play. However, we've been surprised before and just because I think they would want to stay for reasons like getting revenge on a former team doesn't necessarily reflect their thinking.

MUCH more of an open question with Evina than Megan. Megan's path has been fairly straight-forward absent the drama and disruptions of Evina. How much frustration, fatigue, anger this may/may not have imparted to her is likely a developing story as she rides the pine in the shadows rather than leading a championship charge in the national limelight.

Everyone has pressures and expectations. Perhaps family or financial factors may influence what she chooses as best for herself/family after the tumultuous - and unexpected - college career she's endured to-date.

Hope this is a low probability scenario, but to say this CAN'T happen I don't believe is prudent.

This is a circular discussion. We do know next year’s roster size pending any additional event(s) that have not happened and are unlikely to happen.

Four players are leaving after this year. That leaves Olivia, Christyn, Megan, Anna, Aubrey and Evina, plus the recruiting class. Eleven is hardly a large number of players. I remember Breanna recruiting players because that had too few.

Its 5 players leaving.

Can you name any UConn player turned 22 but not finish 4 years college went to WNBA?

Not UConn players, but I think Jewell Loyd, Jackie Young, and Amanda Zahui-B fit the other part of the description.

Megan and Evina are not ready for the W

Why do you say that and who would you consider more ready?
