It'll be her parents, Raven, agents and several friends including Cayla King

We will be watching to see where Liz is drafted.

that being said her stock has dropped with do to her injury. I'd guess just her family would attend. Unfortunately i woundnt be surprised if she doesn't get drafted. She can't play this season, so teams might shy away and save their draft so players this season. She most likely would sign as a free agent.

Just like Duffy. Now if he was still here, all of his current players and inbound recruits would already be in house, so he would have a lot more time to attend the WNBA draft. Would guess that both could make it, but it would take away from their time building their first program at their respective schools.

2nd round #20 overall or so

I certainly don't read anything in to that like actually going to the draft ceremony. But certainly an "anything I can do to help" moment. It would certainly be a great pr moment again not implying that would be her itntent. ** Edited by `lag at 4/12/2024, 2:28:20 PM

No way any physical activity would help in that short amount of time.

Unless Duffy was talking about buying her plane ticket or something.

maybe encouraged her to go just to meet people? That she was going story just broke a few days ago and she had to have enrolled April 1st I thought, she could just stay home and find out I suppose. ... oh well.

I think the invites went to about 15 people who "some" (I do not know who) feel will most likely be chosen 1st or 2nd (maybe 3rd) round. Other than those people, other potential draftees do stay home to find out if they are selected. There are 3 rounds, so only 36 people get selected. Can you imagine that of all the gifted players in the country, only 15 are invited to attend and you are one of them? That must be incredible. Again, to be invited is a big honor and Liz was invited. My guess (total guess) is she will get selected, probably 2nd round. Usually the coach (I assume KB since he coached her all 5 yrs) is there. But, in this case who knows. I am almost positive her family will be there as that is the most supportive family I have ever seen. Who knows what Liz may have talked to Coach Duffy about. Maybe just what to expect. Maybe what happens if you are selected by have an injury and cannot play for a year. Dunno. But I think it is really nice she had a coach she could go to who had been through this herself and could provide perspective. Our players are lucky to have a coaching staff with such extensive pro experience. Typically after selection the 36 players who were selected go off to a training camp/try outs held by their prospective teams. Many (in fact, I think most) are cut and do not make roster. They can try to make a different team, or maybe try for a spot on an international team. Making the roster on a WNBA team is extremely tough to do. IN Liz's case, if she gets selected of course she cannot go to try outs. She has to wait till next year to see if she can make the roster, but I am really not sure how all that works. Injured players DO get selected - I know at least one got selected last year. I do not know if she will end up making roster this year or not. If you already knew all this, sorry for the rehash. If not, hope this was helpful.

WNBA event as VT’s current coach and assistant coaches who played in the WNBA. Wouldn’t hurt for CMD to travel to NY if there was an opportunity to visit with a portal opportunity.

VT, and VT is who got Liz where she is today. Wouldn't want KY coach to be there show his face on tv. That would not be good for VT fans. Just thinking about the politics of it and anger from VT fans.

KB has seemingly washed his hands of all things VT, and Duffy has much bigger fish to fry right now than go see a player she never coached maybe get drafted.

a spotlight

I would guess Kenny, since he was the one who helped her get to this point.
