Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4819252, member: 9844"] The Uconn players that are candidates for their Mt. Rushmore generally have in common a national championship and being the first pick in their draft class. As a player ranked first in her HS class, Paige could have been expected to make a run for that level of excellence. The fact that she has thus far not achieved either of those goals, makes me think the odds are pretty good she returns for another season. I haven't thought much about the top of next year's draft, but certainly Paige could be at the top of the list you provided. One thing that could change quite a bit, however, is it is not just Paige with a decision to make. Clark, Brink and several others could come back, I believe Reese has already said she is coming back. Now I think most will not come back, but if they did 2025 could be a strong draft class. I for one will be glad when after this year, the extra year from Covid can be put to bed. It has created much uncertainty that makes planning very difficult, not just for WNBA teams, but also for all the college coaches who can't even determine how many roster spots they will have until they find out who is staying vs. returning among their seniors. If you aren't close to 15 it is not a big deal, but if you are it is a nightmare. [/QUOTE]
