Oldest players



Youngest players



1990's born players make up almost 3/4 of the opening day rosters (105 out of 142) with 80's babies making up the rest

By rookie class



By draft round



By zodiac



By alma mater



NOTE: Only includes schools with multiple players on rosters

Goes to show how strong the 2014 draft was and how weak the 2016& 2017 drafts were.

FYI, there's four players from the third round of 2014 draft on a roster. Plaisance, Talbot, Faulkner & Asia Taylor.

2010 is the one that sticks out to me. It's just Charles and Clark. And it's not like we're expecting to see others. Maybe Prince or Griffin will be back, but the rest of the class is long gone.

You might want to check Paris Kea's year of birth. Her draft profile page has her listed as being born in 1996. It makes sense that she'd be older because Kea sat out a year when she transferred from Vanderbilt to North Carolina. I also found a couple of other search hits that showed 1996:

at least six of those 'oldest' players could/should be retired by next year.

You could list players born outside the United States.

It appears to be a typo on my part

Corrected list:
