Sabrina Ionescu returns to Oregon for senior yr
- Thread starter lawcalcock
- Start date
To qualify for the WNBA draft you have to turn 22 by end of the calendar year of the draft. So really any player whose birthday is from September-December could skip their final year.
Yes she turns 21 this year! Players that 21 in their junior year can enter!
My guess is because we won a national championship so why not go out on top. Also the draft that year was weaker than 2018.
I wish they had stayed to. The season would've definitely been better that year. But, its a tough decision stay get hurt and possibly see all your dreams slip away, or leave when the getting is good. Like Gamekem said they both got what they wanted to achieve by coming here: conference and national rings, and improve their overall draft stock. Plus, cosmic stars still made them teammates. Hell, Jewel Lloyd left without a getting a NCAA, but received other awards.
I knew Ioneusec would not leave without a ring. Right now Oregon finally tasted the FF, and believe 2020 is there year. But, who's to say it is - may be not.

I made that point back then, but got hit by "How can you deny these women the right to make a living?" Bottom line is that people are going to defend what they want to defend and rationalize what they want to rationalize. Consistency need not play a role.
Wait, why must women baskeball players have to wait until they are 21, while men can go after one year removed from high school?
The NBA and WNBA have different rules on turning pro early. The NBA is going back to allowing high school graduates to turn pro in the near future.
I’m just glad she’s coming back that’s awesome! With that being said she could’ve made a half million or more playing professional next year Overseas, not in the ‘WNBA’ but the WNBA is a stepping stone for a better opportunity, and more money in Europe, China, and Japan.
Yeah it's usually agreed upon by the players union and owners. Just wonder what the reasoning behind it is.
That might be a good thing now, although I hated it back when Spencer Haywood did it. Anything that lessens one-and-ones is desirable.
