Disagree.
Are you really advocating “as long as someone said it on the Internet, it’s ok to repeat it here?”
I believe that relying on credible sources still has value.
No I didn’t “forget.” I was responding to a post that said even without the recruits and the injured players, just replacing Nika and AE with Q and Ice would be a top 10 team.
And it's not like they had a championship caliber roster. The more departures the faster the new coach can implement her system. I believe they are down to 9 scholarship players right now (if Wells & Darby take their Covid year), so ample portal room.
With her uptempo style, I'd think...
Except that 1 and Dones are making millions with their rookie contracts, so their education credentials are less important.
She probably won’t even make the W.
When I looked a few years ago, picks after the middle of the 2nd round had a very low likelihood of making a roster. I think teams go more creative with their picks at that point, seeing if a longshot can work.

I didnt say it was!
But many have responded that "she needs to earn it," suggesting that only the 12 best should be chosen.
I absolutely think there are other considerations -- long-term development & experience, reward for service to the national team, and yes even possibly publicity.
For everyone who is quick to say “she needs to earn it” …. Keep in mind that the Lobo/Tara/96 dust up was basically because folks thought that Lobo wasn’t among the 12 best, but instead was picked because of her celebrity.
(And that is likely to have been the case.)
In general I don’t believe college players are at the same level as the top 12 pros, and thus arent ready for the Olympics.
