I haven't looked back on previous years, but the 2024 WNBA draft presents an interesting discussion. The top 5 ranked HS recruits in 2020 were Paige, Caitlin Clark, Cam Brink, Angel Reese and Kamila Cardosa. Although it is purely speculative, I could see these players as the first 5 picks for 2024 if they all opted to be eligible and remain healthy. Obviously, the order would depend on the franchise and specific needs. In any case, it would be an infusion of singular talents and personalities and should generate tremendous excitement and buzz

I wonder if we compared previous HS recruitment rankings and WNBA drafts, would they be so aligned. Recruiting is an inexact science and so many variables come into play that impact whether a highly ranked recruit lives up to their hype. In the case above, I would say that the play and production of the aforementioned five has been a home run for all the prognosticators - not that it was too difficult to make that call.
