Having foot issues for two years will do that I'm afraid.

Noticed two Rutgers players on the list too. Hollivay & Copper. They had talent, but didn't always show it team wise.

 

A few B1G's listed, not may. Talent all over the US. No conference really had a hold on things.....

 

UConn three in top 4    Would think Powers (MSU) might be suited for pro's

 

Simmons, G, Illinois...... a little surprising, but didn't see her much.

 

Seekamp, PG, South Dakota. ..they do have some talent apparently up north.

 

Don't know the backgrounds of most of them...any Ne or Iowa type connections?

I thought Aerial Powers was a junior.  I did not know she declared for the draft.

i don't think she has declared yet. at least i haven't come across any announcement.

 

if she truly is a first round pick, i would be rather shocked if she didn't declare soon.

Morgan tuck for uconn could stay another year at uconn to!! See what she thinks of her leg at end of season

[B1GN]

Powers is a junior.

I didn't think the WNBA,financially, offered much reason to leave school early.It's why you see the college superstars stay in school all four years.

In my opinion,it's what makes womens college basketball more interesting than the mens game.Women don't have the "one-and-dones".

I thought I heard a while back that Powers will have finished her degree this May.

she is a redshirt junior which would qualify her for the draft. wouldn't be a bad way to start------and head overseas where pay is about 4x's the WNBA salary.
