When does Olympic team get announced?

Team announced this morning. See the thread on the main UConn WBB forum.
UConn with 5 of the 12 players.

A big question might be who is healthy enough to join the team? That would affect Taurasi, Ogwumike, and EDD. And Ionescu if she's up for consideration.

If looking at post players, Fowles/Griner/Charles/Wilson are all having terrific seasons, and I would think are shoe-ins for the team. As is Stewart.

Bird and Gray are the two best PGs in the league right now. Loyd and Diggins-Smith have looked terrific.

I think Collier should make it; Atkins IMO has earned it based on her WNBA season thus far (and she's also a terrific defender). But I'd be surprised if she made the cut--she has an outside chance if Taurasi, Nnkeka, EDD all can't go.

Ended up guessing right with the Atkins selection. She’s having an amazing season and shooting 45% from 3.

I would take Collier over Nneka but it still stinks for her. She was left off the 2016 team and then promptly won MVP. If she hadn’t gotten injured she may have been selected over Collier or Atkins and no one would have complained, but as others have said, the glut at the 4 spot is insane.

Without Maya/Angel/Catchings there is no pure 3 as others have mentioned, but there’s also not a great SF in the W right now. I’d argue Laney is best 3 in the league but she wasn’t in the pool (understandable since she is quite a late bloomer)
 
Taurasi has a mri Tuesday and if shows clear she may play Sunday report on espn
