That's awesome!

Great to see these women getting paid

How many UConn players were drafted? They had a great team (obviously).

Congrats to Coates, Gray, and Davis! Best of luck to them in their professional careers.

Odd not to see any player from Uconn in the top 10 drafted. Must not have had any seniors this year haha

Their best players this year were underclassmen, plus they unleaded last year, I think they went 1,2,3 in last years draft....

Yep, I remember Brianna Stewart going number 1 overall last year. Speaking of Uconn, I haven't seen our resident UConn poster since we won a national title, figured he would at least congratulate us.

He posted today over on the Championship thread.

I expect we will have the #1 pick next year. I hope young ladies like NaLyssa Smith and Samantha. Brunelle are taking note. Additionally, come play before the largest crowds in their sport!

No, but collectively they were our best team ever, to date.

Most of their big time talent is in their rising Junior class, which will come out in 2019. Katie Lou Samuelson, Napheesa Collier, Azura' Stevens (if she completes her eligibility). All three will be 1st round picks.. and will potentially battle it out for #1. They do have good talent available next year in Gabby Williams and Kia Nurse. I don't think either of the two is a real threat to Wilson for the #1 overall pick.. but we'll see. As good as Gabby Williams is, I think her game is limited in the WNBA.

After that, their sophomore class has Crystal Dangerfield, a possible draftee one day. She's very Moriah Jefferson-like. Their incoming freshmen class has the this year's #1 overall recruit, Megan Walker... she will be a future WNBA player as well.

You have a lot of knowledge of Uconn, then seen you were from NY and was like ohhhh.

The general feeling this year was that you had to beat the Huskies this year because they're going to be pretty loaded the next few years.

They aren't the only ones though, wow looking at our next 2 years of recruiting, its just a blitz of 5 star recruits. Dawn can recruit well thats for sure. She is giving Geno a run for his money.

Lol.. I actually live in Connecticut now. I haven't updated my location in a while (I stayed in NYC before moving to Connecticut).. but I'm originally from South Carolina.. Summerville to be exact, Dorchester County (hence the name).

ESPECIALLY, the next two years... they're going to be very good next year and the year after.
