BOTH Morenike Atunrase AND A’Quonesia Franklin were selected in the WNBA Draft. The Atlanta Dream picked up Atunrase in the 2nd round (24th overall) and promptly traded to her to the San Antonio Silver Stars. In the next round (38th overall) the Sacramento Monarchs selected Franklin. This is the first time in school history that two players were selected in the same draft. In fact, we only had two other players in school history to get drafted: Toccara Williams and Jaynetta Saunders.

You know you're program is good when you have players going pro. You also know you're program is good when assistant coaches are being tapped to be head coaches at other schools. Associate head coach Vic Schaefer is interviewing for the head spot at North Texas. Schaefer has been with Blair for over a decade.
