If you are trying to keep up with all this WNBA free agency movement, we are tracking all of the news here: www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Seerat and @aghaubner.bsky.social were pounding nails with this podcast. The Dream IS the SEC WNBA team. The culture fit. Smesko. It all reminds me so much of the OG Comets.

This is interesting about the Mystics. Apparently there was a disagreement. Either Jamila was going rogue or strategic differences, but we will see what route this regime takes in the next week.

The Geno-Drake comp was 🎨 👌🏾

Chicago is again on the losing side of an awful trade. So why does the Sky GM still have a job? And why did the Mystics GM lose hers? Power struggles, pressure and self-sabotage with @aghaubner.bsky.social Plus, Angel Reese’s fit, on and off the court, in Atlanta. open.spotify.com/episode/0WlD...

The '26 Dream could join the '10 Storm as the only teams to ever lead the WNBA in both 3-point attempts and offensive rebounding Here's every team to finish top three in each category -- it makes for some pretty elite offense (unless you're the inaugural Monarchs):

New pod dropping soon (with @aghaubner.bsky.social again!) but here's a final plug a title story that shouldn't get lost in the news shuffle: Catharsis for Lauren Betts, UCLA and the Pac-12; Cori "can't" Close out-maneuvering Dawn Staley and Gabriella Jaquez being a draft-climbing DOG

Come for Lauren Betts and UCLA joining Alyssa Liu and a generation of athletes turning joy into a competitive advantage … stay for Andrew Haubner’s incredible Geno-Drake comparison. @nocapspacewbb.com open.spotify.com/episode/0glI...

Dawn Staley’s coaching masterclass, Geno’s ego, UCLA’s redemption, WNBA draft risers and fallers, and why I love (and hate) the Tempo’s expansion draft roster with @huntercruse.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/1uZz...

had a great time talking with @seeratsohi.bsky.social in my sleep-deprived state about the Elite Eight, Raven Johnson's leadership, the Sun setting in Connecticut, USAB hot takes... a real WBB smorgasboard open.spotify.com/episode/2d7G...

Loaded pod with @sabreenajm.bsky.social: The bittersweet return of the Houston Comets, the story of Kim Perrot, Kim Mulkey and Flau’jae’s relationship, Sarah Graves and the personality hire, UConn’s depth and Hannah Hidalgo becoming the weekend’s main character open.spotify.com/episode/2d7G...

Don't trap Madison Booker if you don't think you can steal it. Michigan is just setting up Rori Harmon to do what she does best: work the baseline

"... documents requested of the WNBA. We are consulting with our partners in state government and local leaders regarding this disappointing news.” [3/3]

"I am aware of concerning reports regarding a sale that would move the Sun out of Connecticut at a price far less than what was on the table to keep them here at home. The Office of the Attorney General previously requested relevant documents and we have reviewed portions of certain" ... [2/x]

Statement from Connecticut Attorney General William Tong on a potential Sun sale, via his office: “Connecticut is the heart and soul of women’s basketball. There would be no WNBA without the players, coaches and dedicated fan base in and from Connecticut." ... [1/x]

this game feels like an instant classic in the making

the best defense against notre dame is executing your offense (and playing incredible full court defense)

UConn is basically keeping whoever Hannah Hidalgo is guarding as far away from the on-ball action as possible. Opponents used to do this to Kawhi Leonard: www.cbssports.com/nba/news/kaw...

You can't convince me Hannah Hidalgo couldn't do this in the WNBA, because you can't convince me there's anyone as fast as her -- when it comes to foot speed, reaction time and with the ball in her hands.

Hannah Hidalgo's defense makes you rethink everything you think you know about basketball.

A Youtube wormhole expansion draft starter kit for Tempo and Fire fans. Plus, I liked going long with @emmabaccellieri.bsky.social on Shea Ralph’s journey, the Pat Summit doc, the long shadow she casts over Tennessee and Vanderbilt becoming the states upstart foil. open.spotify.com/episode/7yLs...

The Sweet 16 is on the horizon and we have your full round preview ready to go with special guest @seeratsohi.bsky.social!! -South Carolina's Revenge -UConn and LSU Rolling -Hidalgo vs Blakes youtu.be/lZiJy4NBLgI

New pod with Ryan Ruocco! We talk Geno, the infinite web of connections between UConn, Notre Dame and Vandy, a surprise Virginia run, WNBA free agency, women’s hoops commentary and more Full pod on YouTube: youtu.be/L_yEsxzqQ9M?...

the Ava Heiden in-game frustrated-to-ferocious transformation is one of the most fun things in college hoops. saw it against Michigan, seeing it now

it feels like Kim Caldwell believes in her system more than she believes in her players

The Langham Four stopped by the pod!!! @classicjpow.bsky.social @alexaphilippou.bsky.social and Doug Feinberg ranked their top @anniecostabile.bsky.social crash outs and pondered the future of the WNBA and the WNBPA leadership open.spotify.com/episode/7HZ0...

on a CBA negotiation that recalibrated player power for the new age, and what i’m hoping is the beginning of an era of more collaboration: www.theringer.com/2026/03/19/w...

I don't usually love a solo pod, but Seerat put out an absolute great one

The largest average salary for a pro sports league will be ratified at the same time that women's rights are under attack across the country. That contradiction shouldn't surprise anybody: open.spotify.com/episode/1nbl...

Putting the historic #WNBA collective bargaining agreement into perspective Great pod

Emergency solo pod on the new WNBA CBA and a landmark day in women's sports: why the two sides finally came to the table, a recalibration of player power, the impact of NIL/branding, and the wider cultural and political context. open.spotify.com/episode/1nbl...

Numbers that may well not be a coincidence: Highest WNBA cap hit anyone had last season, so largest base salary plus time-off bonus, was Kelsey Mitchell at $269,244. Reported new minimum salary is 'above $300k'. So *everyone* should be making more in 2026 than *anyone* was in 2025. #WNBA

I was going to say I'm becoming an Awa Fam height truther but maybe she just grew

. @nekiasnba.bsky.social and I picked our 2028 Olympic rosters on this weeks pod (also our 2026 World Cup rosters but you'll have to listen for that) open.spotify.com/episode/78ZC...

and now Caitlin Clark (checking in alone as opposed to in a hockey sub) gets a lay up off the Hamby pass

Team USA starts small with Rhyne Howard at the four (as @nekiasnba.bsky.social and I wanted) and the lane is wide open for Jackie Young and Kahleah Copper to get into the paint

I don't know how anyone in Tennessee could live up to the legend of Pat Summit www.congress.gov/congressiona...

the GOAT @nekiasnba.bsky.social and I waded into the Stan wars to predict Team USA’s FIBA World Cup and Olympic rosters, while asking important questions: will the Americans have enough guard screeners? Plus, our analysis on the Angel-Caitlin transition snap-fu. open.spotify.com/episode/78ZC...

reading the CBA tea leaves with @maitreyiaa.bsky.social youtu.be/R4pq18CllEo?...

This is a great pod (the hopefully ironic use of "mogging" aside), but @maitreyiaa.bsky.social brings up a good point in that the CBA info we know are the things that someone on the inside wants people to know and doesn't represent the whole truth.

Great CBA discussion starts at min 20:50. Includes: thoughts on KP/Stewie letter and who may have leaked it; thoughtful speculation about potential divisions between the NBA billionaire owners vs the millionaire type owners and; efforts on both sides to influence the narrative and gain leverage.

WNBA conspiracy theories: CBA power plays, leaks, height trutherism and a pro-surveillance capitalism take with @maitreyiaa.bsky.social plus, caitlin clark’s team usa debut and an interview with Sabrina Ionescu! open.spotify.com/episode/3kaG...
