I sort of stumbled on this. A combination of injuries, sitting out to transfer and maybe the Covid waiver allowed Patberg to return to IU for her 7th year in school (a graduate student now, I guess, unless she's like Bluto Blutarsky) and her fifth year of competition. Amazing. iuhoosiers.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/ali--patberg/15669 |

Isn't Stanford's Wilson a 6th year player?
Not to sound mean but if she is so valuable and skilled why isn't she playing professionally ?

Impressive number of national award watch lists and All Big Ten teams sprinkle her resume. But WNBA level doubtful.

Impressive number of national award watch lists and All Big Ten teams sprinkle her resume. But WNBA level doubtful. A very solid college player. And there is nothing wrong with that. As I was reading some articles about the WNBA playoffs mentioning the success of former Rutgers players Benijah Laney on NY and Copper on Chicago. But here's the thing - they didn't step into the league and have instant success. Erica Wheeler in LA grew her game as a pro elsewhere before she became a WNBA starter. So it doesn't mean that Patberg can't have a WNBA career - but I think (as you said) it certainly will require work and is unlikely. |
