Message: [QUOTE="BRS24, post: 4276539, member: 197"] If I'm reading this correctly, the deadline for anyone else other than the final four teams has passed. Stanford and Louisville players had to declare by Saturday night. UConn and SC players have until tonight. From Wikipedia: WNBA prospects [B]must notify the league office no later than 10 days before the draft[/B], and must renounce any remaining college eligibility to enter the draft. However, because postseason national tournaments (most notably the NCAA Division I tournament) are still ongoing during the 10 days prior to the draft, certain players who would otherwise be eligible to declare cannot do so before the standard deadline. [B]A prospect whose team is still playing during the 10-day window must make her declaration within the 24 hours following her team's final game of the season[/B], but no less than 3 hours before the scheduled start of the draft. The 3-hour period is a historic artifact that stems from the former scheduling of the WNBA draft; from 2006 to 2008, it was held in the city of the women's Final Four on the day after the championship game. Despite media commentary that argued that players involved in the NCAA tournament needed more time to make draft decisions,[10] the most recent WNBA CBA, agreed to in 2020, did not change any draft eligibility rules.
