146 schools have had players drafted over the 15 seasons that the WNBA has existed. Of course not everyone who is drafted makes it in the league. About 30% of the players who have been drafted have never gotten on the floor. This leads to three easy-if-you-are-Queenie questions:


1 Name the two schools which have had more than one player drafted yet never had a player play in the league. By way of example; San Jose State has had one player drafted in WNBA history (Lamisha Augustine, the #41 pick of the 2006 draft). Neither she nor any other Spartan has played in a regular season game. You are looking for schools that are like that, but with more than one draftee.

HELPFUL HINT: One of the schools is a major conference school


2 The opposite. Name the three schools which have had multiple players play in the league but never had a player drafted. An example here would be Furman, which has had one player (Rushia Brown) play in the league but has never had a player drafted. You're looking for schools that are like that, but with more than one player.

HELPFUL HINT: One of the schools is a major conference school


3 Every school with more than six draftees has had at least a few not make it. Name the two schools which have had exactly six draftees and had all six appear in the league.

HELPFUL HINT: The two schools are in the same conference

Not a bad guess, but incorrect. Howard has had three players drafted. Two of them, Denique Graves and Andrea Gardner, have made WNBA appearances. Karen Wilkins is the other one.

Pepperdine has had a player drafted: Rasheeda Clark was the #36 pick in 2001. She never made a WNBA appearance, but two others did: Jennifer Lacy and Miranda Ayim. So, this is also an incorrect answer.

Question #3 is about teams who have never had a draftee wash out. Rutgers isn't the right answer, but is a reasonable guess.

Oops! I did not notice the third question initially. Embarassed

Don't worry, guys, I'm updating the cheat sheet, and I should have it up in the next couple of days. Apparently my version still thought Colson was with the Sun...

Since everyone is apparently giving up...

1 Marquette and St Mary's are the schools who have had two players drafted without having any players play in the W. Marquette had Abbie Willenborg (#64 in 2000) and Angel Robinson (#22 in 2011). St Mary's had Jermisha Dosty (#51 in 2002) and Jerkisha Dosty (#61 in 2002).


2 Colorado State, George Mason, and Seton Hall are the schools who have had two players play in the W without having any players drafted. Colorado State had Katie Cronin and Becky Hammon. George Mason had Keri Chaconas and Jen Derevjanik. Seton Hall had Texlin Quinney and Dana Wynne.


3 The schools which have had all six of their draftees make WNBA appearances are Kansas and Kansas State.

Kansas

Tamecka Dixon
Jaclyn Johnson
Danielle McCray
Lynn Pride
Charisse Sampson
Lynette Woodard


Kansas State

Olga Firsova
Shalee Lehning
Megan Mahoney
Nicole Ohlde
Shanele Stires

That was interesting. I didn't realize that Coggins and Koehn were both undrafted out of K-State.
