Mo just couldn't seem to catch a break after her injury.

 

[JellyBean]

You know that this is part of the business but it never is easy hearing a player has been released. Wishing Bonn Bonn all the best and hope that another team can add her to their roster.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Mo needs a better spot. They drafted Burton and already had Arike, Mabrey, and Harris.

 

[EricLA]

I hope she finds a better spot. Going to be hard for her and Crystal in the league. Do we know if she's 100% healthy?

and Gray

 

[Beemer]

I hope she can catch on with another team. Good luck Moriah!

 

[Happydad745]

I would love to see Moriah playing with Stewie again....I hope she can get healthy/or correct whatever cause her to be waived.

The Sun?

[EricLA]

Another team I won't be rooting for in the near future (Minny is the other team - they cut Danger in favor of Banham and Simms).

 

[vballcoach]

Seattle certainly is missing Canada, and Moriah might fit in there. Minnesota doesn't look like they WANT a guard (cut Clarendon and Dangerfield), but they sure look like they NEED one. Now that she's gone from Dallas, I can root against Mabrey and Arike energetically and without any hesitation.

There are so many variables involved in making a WNBA team for everyone but the few locks. Talent is only just one factor. There are plenty of very capable players not in the league that have never really even gotten a chance to play on a team. This is especially true for the younger players who have not had the time to establish a reputation in the league. Too many players fighting for too few spots.

Moriah's body held up wonderfully in college
far less so in the pros
What a shame

 

[pvdoggy]

For all the talk about coming to Uconn making it easier to get to the WNBA, I think the only 2 really successful Uconn players in the WNBA in the last 7 years since Stewie's class have been Stewie and Phee.

And Gabby, Kia, Katie Lou.

there is nothing "easier" about it .... it is about really hard work and they all know it up front.

 

[pvdoggy]

And Gabby, Kia, Katie Lou.

I did qualify my statement by saying "really successful". As much as I love Lou, my favorite Uconn player in the last 6 years, I would not say that she has had a really successful career. The same can probably be said about Gabby and Kia. Your mileage may vary.

Agreed. And regarding the 'Too many players fighting for too few spots ...," the Wings had three point guards on their roster. MoJeff was the senior in terms of experience. However, Dallas -- somewhat inexplicably to me -- signed Tyasha Harris to a long-term deal in the offseason, then drafted Veronica Burton, a guard who looks like a poster player for Coach Vickie Johnson.

For MoJeff, perhaps she and another point guard like Lindsay Allen, could land with a team that develops back-up point guard issues as the season progresses. I keep looking at Washington, which has two undersized rookies in back-up roles.

Good luck, MoJeff!

as opposed to successful? or really really successful? I would say if they made it onto an opening day roster - really hard - that qualifies.

Seven players from the 2016 team made it onto opening day rosters. That's pretty good.

 

[Kevin G]

Mo is one of my fav UCONN players. She is a star no matter what she does.

 

[cferraro04]

And Gabby, Kia, Katie Lou.

And Bria Hartley and Stef Dolson... Give me a break with that comment. Okay, so what other team has more successful players in the WNBA?
