Is this the first time there have been no seniors on the first team?

| My question is how many of these do you think will actually stick on a WNBA roster? Loyd, Stewart, Zahui B and Kelsey Mitchell. I don't see any of the others good enough. Maybe KML if she would commit to fitness, but no way does she compete at the next level with her current fitness level IMO.

Doing just a quick glance, 2000 had no seniors named to the AP All-America 1st team, Shea Ralph redshirted, so technically she wasn't a senior.

| Minimum 10 players with my limited knowledge I see over Wilson.

What's funny is that, based on what I've seen, UConn is able to more or less hide KML's slowness on defense (switching on screens, help, etc.), but Minnesota has not (even at the center of the zone, I've seen Zahui B get owned because she can't take a step out to someone making a jumper inside the FT line. What exactly do you mean by fitness? If you mean stamina and endurance, you're full of crap. If you mean that she has a hard time keeping athletic guards in front of her, than I'd point out that there are a few teams out there (Tulsa comes to mind) which have the capacity to hide her a little on defense, and could really use an elite shooter to help spread the floor.

| I really argue with Ruth Hamblin being anything but an HM, if that....she never impressed me as being anything but big. I can think of several I'd pick over her. And IMO A'ja Wilson needs to earn her way on also.
