. . . Who are the rest of the for sure players? Let’s guess.

A’ja Wilson
Caitlin Clark
Sabrina
Allisha Gray
Allisa Thomas
Dewanna Bonner

Clark’s status vis-a-vis Unrivaled is interesting. Is Clark’s current plan not to play in the offseason (i.e. Unrivaled) a negotiating position? Do we reliably know she was invited? Is it smart for Clark to turn down the W in crowd (even if she also needs an extended break)?

Maybe she'll take the same approach as Wilson and train during the offseason. Don't think she's played overseas. She hasn't been part of the Athletes Unlimited league either.

Clark has made a statement in her previous interview that, and I paraphrase, she will take some weeks off but will probably get bored and pick up a basketball. I don't know what that means but I get the impression that she wants to shrink away from the limelight and actually absorb everything that has happened to her since the beginning of her senior year at Iowa. I doubt we will see her play in an overseas league or unrivaled. Also, she makes enough money that she has the privilege to make that choice.

an interview i saw ruled out A'ja - at least for this season she will not be Unrivaled.

They missed an opportunity here to include her dad in the background cheering. That would have been hilarious and awesome at the same time in my opinion.

More insight on the TNT deal. Love the fact it's a 6 year commitment.

Was selfishly hoping she was going to join Athletes Unlimited.

Been watching her ads with Sydney Colson for Aflac. They have good chemistry on camera. Would have been great to see them play it up during the AU season.

Aaliyah Edwards is unrivaled!



Even as a UConn fan. I think Unrivaled is too UConn-centric. Edwards is not the UConn player I have a problem with in the league though. I am really glad she has been selected.

Can you expand on what you mean about the league being too UConn-centric? Is this related to how the league came about, the number of players participating, etc.?

Everything. I think if you don’t like UConn it would repel you that UConn is involved to the extent they are. And maybe that is inevitable to some extent since UConn was the premier program in America for decades.

But unrivaled also promised top top players in the league. At least three UConn players selected aren’t top 50 players rn.

Considering it's year one and they're also competing against leagues overseas and Athletes Unlimited, I think they've done a decent job with the pool of players. Sure some, including UConn selections may be head scratchers to some but they have to start somewhere. And compared to Athletes Unlimited's inaugural season, they've done a better job at attracting players fans are familiar with.
