2021 NWSL College Draft

Some interesting entrants in the draft now. Perfect storm has created some real drama at the top .

 

and macario is forgoing her senior year and signing with lyon. so she is off the table.

 

The draft without Macario is far more interesting.

 

WOW! They weren’t lying, that isn’t a lot of players.

 

When the NCAA stated that players didn’t lose eligibility for playing this year many were hesitant about registering from pressure of coaches and the uncertainty of whether there would be a full nwsl season. Coaches discouraged players from registering after the all senior rule came out

 

I don't see Emily Fox or Sam Coffey on that list?

 

Seniors are automatically eligible to be drafted. Maybe they want to see where they go before giving up extra year of Eligibility.

 

Win win situation. They come if it’s a club they like. If not they go back to college but their rights belongs to that club they don’t like. Wonder if 1 year past their rights leaves the club and eligible for free agency.

 

Also can go overseas.

 

How is it so far? Right now it looks like 2nd round.

 

I think because the players are not being seen and look at their reactions at a convention. Its just closed doors and online. Just doesn't feel the same. Same for NFL or NBA.

 

I'm in twitch right now.

 

This is one heck of a long draft. Could last more than 5 hours with all the timeouts.

 

Very pleased Lucy Parker got picked by KC. Played so many years for Arsenal youth teams and four great years in College.

Thank you, West Ender.

 

Minor detail that was not so clear. Seniors who did not get drafted cannot enter draft again next year. even if they did not declare this year.

 

Well that sucks! I mean they could change the clubs' views when they play and raise their value.
