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

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...

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