How many teams have UCONN players on them? Or the shorter list would be how many teams do NOT have a UCONN player on them? I count 15 UCONN'ers if Kelly makes the cut...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news.................but, I just checked the Wings website at 10:37 pm est. I looked at their roster as of right this minute. They still have one more cut to make. They have 13 players on their roster. Remember, Fuller's tweet read "Looks like former #UConn guard Saniya Chong will make the @DallasWings as 3rd round pick". Not Chong HAS made the team. Big difference. Don't break out the bubbly just yet. Wait for it.......................................

They must cut it to 12 by Friday May 12 at 5:00pm est. While I join everyone in their excitement and jubilation, It's not a done deal just yet. Click the link below to view the roster as of right now! The Wings coaching staff has one last difficult decision to make. We'll know for sure in about 42 hours.

So Dallas Wings' roster: Diggins-Smith, Christmas-Kelly, Powers, Paris, Plaisance, Johnson, Davis, Gray, Akhator, Lewis, Thornton, Chong

The Wings' final roster now includes all five of their selections from April's WNBA draft and training camp invite Kayla Thornton.
"It's not an easy decision for me coaching in this league," head coach Fred Williams said on a conference call.

I don't know Kaizen. I'm going by what I see on their current roster. I don't see Hamblin's name on the waiver list. The first players to be waived was on April 27. I've looked at every day since then, noting players that were waived. Hamblin's name does not appear as being waived. Perhaps she has been waived, and this latest posted list has not been updated.

 

[Carnac]

I stand corrected. According to Sports Day. The wings have indeed pared their roster down to the final 12. CHONG MADE THE CUT. Now you can officially break out the bubbly. Let's all toast Saniya. For she's a jolly good fellow!! Did she beat the odds or what?

The Dallas Wings cut veteran guard Erin Phillips, the team announced on Wednesday. It was the final move to bring the Wings down to their 12-player roster for the beginning of the WNBA season.

Carnac, I think it is official that Saniya is Wings' roster.

You are correct!!! See my post above yours. I was the victim of some bad information. There are 13 players on the their latest roster. I'm glad I'm wrong, and very happy for Saniya.

So the Wings have FIVE rookies. THREE of them account for the last FOUR NCAA Championships. Winning pedigrees.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

Congrats to Saniya! I always felt that if she could conquer herself she had endless possibilities!

 

[Striper69]

I've loved Saniya since she was a freshman- look at my posts. She's the reason I started posting here.

I always thought she would make the WNBA...

again- look at my posts.

Watch her soar.

Dallas looks like they have a good team. With Johnson, and Diggins-Smith being the vets. Now adding Davis, Chong Grey and Akhator. Itf the rookies play well the team can be pretty good.

 

[DishNSwish]

I'll wait until opening night to be sure no one else is picked up (see Sun's signings the last two days), but it sure looks good!
