That was probably a good call. Assuming she's still in good playing shape, this year's draft will be much, much weaker than last year's. I'm not sure that alters her ability to make a final cut roster, but it at least gives her a better chance to get attention.

Agree. I just don't see many of these players getting on rosters, let alone keeping a spot. I think Natasha Mack has the size and strength to be a good pick.

I hope she makes the Lynx. I root for the Lynx, and Pivec is probably my favorite player from the PAC. She’s a real blue-collar team player, and I think she’d fit well in the Lynx system.

I thought that Tyra Whitehead named seemed familiar. She played at Wake Forest for 2 years.. then I think she might have gotten into trouble then she transferred. She had a pretty good career at SJSU

I dont think that would help much...I dont see her ever being a strong pro prospect to be honest. Probably is ready to move on to life after college.
Some of these players are leaving because it's just their time to move on and they aren't going to use the extra year for whatever reason.

Kai Crutchfield, Kayla Jones not among players to opt into 2021 WNBA Draft
Because seniors are allowed to return for another year, the WNBA required players to declare their draft intentions one way or the other, with players who opt-in renouncing their remaining eligibility.
The deadline for players not still participating in the NCAA tournament to make a decision was April 1, and while many prominent players did submit their names—including Louisville star Dana Evans—NC State seniors Kai Crutchfield and Kayla Jones were not among them.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that both players plan to return to NC State for another season, as they could always pursue professional opportunities overseas—and neither one appears likely to be selected in the draft, which is set for April 15.

Idk the leagues over there, but it usually seems like if a US player wants to play overseas they're able to find opportunities. She's a big 6-3 post so my guess is she'd find a team without a lot of difficulty if she wants to continue playing.
