Beal has already said she's gone. Olivia is done. Boston and Cooke have not said one way or the other. LA might improve her draft stock if she came back.
Will any of our women's basketball team members return for their COVID year?
- Thread starter Forever Fowl
- Start date
Pretty sure they are all leaving but if Boston comes back I think they all would also come back. That would result in some of the bench players transferring — except for Cardoso, Hall, and Johnson. Boston may stand to make more NIL money in college next year than playing in the WNBA. She would still be number 1 pick next year. JMHO
All are going. They all need to go so we can begin working on improving the remaining players and bring in more all americans.
Im not sure I understand the urgency to leave college for any athlete that isnt set to make more money than they currently do with NIL.
The highest WNBA salary is like $230k/year.
I would think some of the higher profile womens college basketball players have a chance at doing better than that with endorsements. The Cavender twins from Miami make $1mil each annually.

Interesting that Boston said she had a "big announcement" to make after this weekend.
Why would it be a big announcement if it was to leave which everyone expects?
FWIW there are fewer WNBA roster openings this year than in previous years.
Dawn says she'll be using the portal as she has to plan that all seniors will be leaving.

Captain Will on youtube predicts Cooke and LA to return while Beale and Boston head to the WNBA. He says
Cooke has a huge NIL and that she's only projected as a 2nd round draft choice and like Henderson last year will
have to make the team in order to get a contract. Boston will be the WNBA's first overall choice and Beal has
that 3D going for her ( 3 point shot and elite defense ).

Yes. The max number of scholarships is 15 and Dawn currently carries 14 players. For sure we lose Fletcher, Saxton, Thompson and probably several more. Dawn only signed 3 high school players from the 2023 class.
Well all I know for sure is that Boston has declared. Some sites say Cooke and Beal are leaving and others don't confirm this at all. I take the State online but there's nothing new there as of Tuesday's edition. The deadline to declare was 48 hours from their last game on Friday and that's passed.
"Declaring" is not the same thing as "announcing." They may have declared to the wnba yesterday, but have not announced it. The deadline for LSU and Iowa players is midnight tonight.
I expect/anticipate the wnba will put out a list by the end of the week. I have no idea why Brea, Zia and Letecia have been so quiet on the issue.
All the Freshies are moving on. Cooke was the last to declare/announce today for the WNBA. Looking forward to what Dawn turns up in the portal.
