Let's get this started! 1-2-3!

Sweep the last 4 NC's, sweep the last year with 38, sweep the top three in the draft... AWESOME!

Nice to see her undergrad teammates cheering in the audience.

Biggest cheers were for Morgan

 

[HoopsFan21]

Morgan said a lot of the UConn fans wanted her to stay an extra year, so she's staying, just playing for a different team, and that she loves Connecticut and the fans and is excited.

So, does this help recruiting?

Our work is done here. We can change channels now.

Again, if there's a college coaching staff that does a better job preparing players for the pro game other than UConn, I dare anyone to find it. If your goal is to play in WNBA/Olympics/etc, then maybe consider Storrs, CT.

Who does Connecticut take next? Banham or C.Williams?

 

[HoopsFan21]

4th pick Rachel Banham to the Sun

 

[UC10NN]

What is up with the fist bump and three fingers for top three picks? Am I missing something? Will see what they do for #4

Geno's ultimate recruiting statement!

 

[Eskapeesto]

 

[MilfordHusky]

Banham to the Sun as #4.

 

[Kaizen]

Was wondering that too, they've continued doing it through the 5th pick, so who knows what it means.

 

[Vowelguy]

The Dallas Wings ?
Oy.

Surprised. But what do I know. We'll see.

 

[MilfordHusky]

MSU coach at the draft with Ariel Powers. To Dallas.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The Dallas Wings ?
Oy.

I guess they plan to score 82 points per game.

 

[Vowelguy]

EspnW and Bleacher Report both got the first 5 exactly right.

 

[JoePgh]

Don't like the Banham pick for the Sun. Jump shooters with limited mobility don't usually do well in the WNBA -- defense is a problem for them. I would much rather that they pick Jones or Courtney Williams.

 

[Kaizen]

UConn's Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson, Morgan Tuck go 1-2-3 in WNBA Draft, 1st time 1-3 picks from same school.
