Thinking back to the 90s, it's easy to come up with a list of 10 great college players who came out of New England. UConn obviously had a bunch -- Bascom, Lobo, Wolters, Sales, Rizzotti, R Williams, Berube, but also Jamila Wideman (Stanford), Cindy Blodgett (Maine), Nadine Domond (Iowa). Many of those were All-Americans, the rest were significant players.
What happened since?
It seems the talent has almost all-but-dried-up.
No one close to All-American.
Maria Conlon is the only one I can think of who is comparable to the above list. Maybe the current St John's player whose name escapes me.
Saona Chapman was a decent player at RU. The Valleys were ok too, though not on the level of the 90s players. I may be forgetting a player or two, but overall, quite a decline in talent.
Odd.
