No other link but I’m hoping this is true. Today was the deadline for declaring for the WNBA draft.

Edited to add the ESPN link: https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/29009717/arella-guirantes-bypasses-wnba-draft-return-rutgers

I spent a fair amount of time this evening checking different web sites for a mention of a declaration and found nothing.

 

[ScarletteK80]

A readable link from SK site. Guess she realizes the WNBA season may not happen. Good for us fans.

Nice day for the women's program. I will enjoy watching her with this in coming class. If Diamond can make the jump to the next level, who do you double team?

 

[BeKnighted]

Great news for the program.

This was VERY important that she returned now you can work Diamond in and hopefully the other freshman so we can get the needed contributions from them next year

Not sure when WNBA put this out, but looks like she wasn't getting drafted, making her decision easier. WNBA is a very tough roster to crack, just ask Megan Gustafsen.

That may be because she had not yet declared for the draft. Mock drafts often don’t include players until they are cleared. I’ve seen several
Articles which had her listed as high as the #10 pick overall had she declared.

This article lists her as a late first-early second round pick.

This one lists her as a possible first round pick.

This is great news for RU women's bball! She will have a great opportunity to demonstrate her leadership skills with all of the talented young players we have coming in.

 

[RUJMM78]

Great news for Rutgers,Guarantes is one of the most talented women college basketball players and has the skill set to be a professional player in future years.

From what Arella said, I don't think she was dissuaded from the challenge of the draft or sticking with a WNBA team.
We are blessed to have her for another year and I can't wait for the next season the start.
