All of the cuts that PD Swanson posted are now on the WNBA.com Transaction page. It also has all of the signings for what looks like every person in every camp (correction, going back only to April 21):
http://www.wnba.com/transactions/
The cuts are also on that PDF file that was previously posted. The roster file is still dated 140423, but it does have the official changes from May 1.
http://www.wnba.com/media/lynx/Rosters140423.pdf
The LA and MN cuts have not been posted yet on either source.

Tulsa's Jordan Hooper still listed as 'drafted' rather than 'active' on the pdf, and doesn't appear anywhere on the list of signed players in the transactions either. Which is odd. We know from media reports that she's been playing in camp, so probably just a paperwork issue. But still odd. |

You don't trust Thibault's talent evaluation, or are the Mysics that much more stacked than the Sky?

Has anybody confirmed these? I was just curious because I noticed every name is spelled wrong.

Don't tell me. Tell the Pokemeister General.

Dang. I really thought she'd make it. May get picked up by another team?

Simmons is probably coming in the next round of cuts.

| The odds were stacked against Coley, I was rooting for her but she was fighting for one of two spots, and everyone she was up against had a little bit of and edge, two of her competitors played for the Liberty last year, another one had a season of W experience on a championship team, two others were picked up in the draft while Coley went un-drafted so they obviously were considered more valuable, and one is an international veteran who probably wouldn't have shown up if she didn't think she at least had a chance of making the roster. So last in first out was Coley's lot.

Aww... I was rooting for her. But, the facts are the facts. Sad to think Simmons may be next. I am rooting for her too. Again, I love the underdogs. I am sure that Bill needed to cut a guard to get Cruz on the floor for tomorrow. Unless 2 more bodies get cut tonight, I take it that Charles & Cappie will be resting tomorrow. I can't wait!

| If you're smallish, and you come out of a minor program, you need to make a really quick impression. The one time I saw Coley (along with some clips), nothing jumped out at me. She's not super fast or a superior athlete. I didn't see tremendous skill or an unusually high basketball IQ. She just looked like a decent player who took a lot of shots. This was early in the season when she wasn't shooting well, but I wasn't really holding that against her. I just wanted Coley to give me a reason to keep watching. I didn't see it. I remember the first time I saw Riquana Willaims. I didn't like the way she played, but the speed and athleticism were obvious. You immediately "got" why a lot of people love her. I remember watching Alex Montgomery for the first time. She dribbled up the right side, then from mid-court threw a pass to a teammate in the left corner. It was a 50 ft chest pass on a line. I'm thinking to myself, "That's one freakin' strong player for a guard." With Coley, I just didn't see anything that made me say "Wow!" or even "That's interesting". Especially against weak competition, you expect the player to really shine.

| I looked up some clips out of curiosity and I agree with you. I don't see super fast or super quick. The one thing she has is very good jumping ability but her height kind of cancels that out on the pro level. I could see where she was worth a look and also why she was the first one out. To play in the WNBA she'd have to be a pass-first point guard instead of a pure scoring one and that would require a reinvention of her game from the hundreds of shots she took in college. If she were to do it, it would be a lengthy adjustment.
