Alarie was selected with the 5th overall pick by the Dallas Wings in the WNBA Draft today!

Simply amazing that an IL player could go this high in the draft. Other than Bill Bradley as a 3rd round pick, territorial pick, Bella has accomplished something that it is very challenging for an IL player to accomplish. You never know but I suspect that she will be a very solid WNBA player based on her multi-dimensional skill set.

Only regret is that she did not have the opportunity to put IL women's basketball on the map. Hopefully, Olivia Miles was watching tonight.

Other first round picks: Geoff Petrie #8 1970, Corky Calhoun #4 1972. Probably others I don't recall.

Not to diminish what Alarie has accomplished.

The WaPo article said that Allison Feaster went fifth overall in the WNBA draft as well.

My recollection is that injuries derailed her professional career...

I think Bob Bigelow (Penn 75) went in the first round

Geoff Petrie also went in the first round in 1970 at No. 8. He was NBA Rookie of the Year. John Hummer went at No. 15 in 1970.

Never saw him play; his name is mentioned on this board, but not often. Small forward?

While I'm sure Alarie would have preferred the TV time from the post-season tournaments, she *did* get some good national exposure last weekend from the draft.

Drafted at #13, one spot before Kobe's father.
