Just wondering, don't players whose season ended before the Sweet Sixteen have to have already declared?

Betts is a no. She said so a few weeks back. In theory, she could change her mind, but so could Azzi.

Should UConn win, one of the two things Geno used to convince Fudd to return no longer applies.

You’re assuming he convinced her. She may have convinced him

Take Betts off the list. She's already said she's returning to play with her sister next season.

Betts' plan is to play with her sister. Don't think that's changing.

 

[Geew1992]

No word from Flau'jae. Take it as she's coming back??

It's also worth noting that someone could have already made their decision but not be made public yet.

 

[Centerstream]

As we get closer to the actual WNBA draft, don't they usually supply a list of players that have declared on their website? Or maybe they are waiting for the deadline from Monday's games to expire???

Yes. There's usually a list that's updated as the players announce

For folks who haven't followed along, Ayoka Lee is not going into the draft and will step away from basketball. Seems the prudent choice given all of her injuries.

I was reading earlier that Ayoka Lee has already earned her BA in psychology and master's degree in couples and family therapy and is already seeing clients as a family therapist while she finishes a second master's at KSU. What an impressive young woman!

Imagine having her as your therapist — who’s gonna disagree with her?

Scrap the calculations on how many years Sedona Prince has. She's declared for the WNBA.

 

[nwhoopfan]

She also declared for the draft I believe 3 years ago. Maybe it will stick this time.

It couldn't have been an "official" declaration 3 years ago because a condition of players with remaining eligibility declaring is giving up all remaining eligibility, correct?

And I will ask again...has anyone seen a link to players available for the draft?

Nothing on the W website, although they've started posting players that have been invited. Here are the first two I've seen:

Obviously.

As BRSG said above, the W has not posted a list. Which is weird, as they usually publish a preliminary list a few days before the NCAA playoffs are done. Last year (link below) they posted on April 4. If you change the 2024 in the link to 2023 it takes you to that year's, posted on March 28, but using 2025 it goes to page not found.

Sometimes Often I think the WNBA gets in their own way.

NCAA Players Renounce NCAA Eligibility to Opt-In for Consideration for WNBA Draft 2024 Presented by State Farm® - WNBA

The WNBA announced the following players have formally filed for inclusion as candidates for the WNBA Draft 2024 presented by State Farm.

I guess my memory is fuzzy. I thought she left Oregon immediately after the 21-22 season. A little googling shows she had an elbow injury prior to the beginning of the 22-23 season, she didn't play at all that year. She definitely did declare for the '23 draft, but then withdrew and entered the transfer portal.
