Someone needs to ask Chanin for more year at A&T...😂😂😂😂 Wish granted! Just left gym tired as all get out hopped on Instagram and thought I saw something wrong. Talk about a second wind ALMOST went back in for round 2 then came to my senses. If all pieces fall into place early this squad could be lethal. Looking forward to next season already. |

If Scott have a Great Year look for her to be Drafted in WNBA.. did you think about what you just said? do you realize how long its been since an hbcu alum played in the wnba? much less get drafted? in the 23 year history of the wnba, only "3" hbcu players have "ever" been drafted and the last time it happened was in 2002 almost 20 years ago. a lot of "outstanding" female basketball players have passed thru the hbcu conferences (meac, swac, ciaa, siac) over the years, but only "3" made it to the wnba. that's a very tall order for chanin, but let's keep hope alive. the "3" hbcu players that got drafted by the wnba were howard’s andrea gardner, nccu's amba kongolo, and southern's jacklyn winfield. none of them lasted very long, gardner did complete her rookie season but was let go after that. neither kongolo nor winfield played an entire season. so as far as the wnba goes, it doesn't look very promising for hbcu players... |

Any updates on whether Deja and Jones-Pack are coming back? Just looking at what we signed....it seems unlikely either will be back...seem like Coach Rob is recruting to filling holes. |

I'm really, really happy that Chanin is with us another year....she will be a major factor in the Big South!

I thought Chanin was as talented as many of the women that was drafted in the wnba.I think it is a lack of scouting on their part.

If the Big South has one, I wonder what the qualifications are for "newcomer" of the year. It's possible any of these young ladies could be eligible for that award.
That typed, wonder how that may across all sports?

What's your explanation upon why the numbers are so low? What would you suggest as the fix? |

What's your explanation upon why the numbers are so low? What would you suggest as the fix? i have to be “honest”, but i think the reason that the numbers are so low is because hbcu’s simply do not have the “best” talent in the country. same goes on the men’s side. let’s look at it this way, there’s only “12” total wnba teams and each team carries “12” total players. that means there’s only “144” total active players in the wnba both veterans and rookies. the wnba draft has “3” rounds, “theorically” meaning that the “36” best college players will get drafted. there are approximately 1,300 “four year” women’s college basketball teams in the country including “all levels” (i.e., d1, d2, d3, naia). plus there’s another 500 juco women’s basketball teams, but for argument sake we’ll only consider “four year” women’s college basketball teams. so there’s 1,300 women’s college basketball teams that have on average 15 players on each team. that means there’s approximately 19,500 active women’s college basketball players in the country. out of that 19,500 players, only the “36” best women’s college players will get drafted. even if we “estimate” seniors only which comes to approximately 4,875 players, we’re talking ‘bout the “36” best college players out of roughly 5,000 players. now, do we really believe that we have one of the “36” best college players in the country out of roughly 5,000 seniors and roughly 20,000 players of all classes? so long story short, i think the reason that hbcu numbers are so low is because hbcu’s simply do not have “top 40” talent on our teams. those players usually go to “top 10” ranked d1 teams like uconn, stanford, south carolina, or notre dame. so when you ask me to suggest a fix for that problem? to me, the only answer is to sign “top 40” talent on our teams but that’s a lot easier said than done... |
