While Iowa Hawkeyes forward Caitlin Clark is a virtual lock to go first overall in April’s WNBA Draft, another player projected to be taken in the top three declared on Tuesday.
Stanford Cardinal forward Cameron Brink announced on social media that she would forgo her final season of eligibility and enter the WNBA Draft.

In her statement, Brink thanked her coaches, teammates, family, and Stanford fans. She also made sure to note that while she’s “excited for the next chapter, we still have unfinished business and so much to accomplish in my final season at Stanford.
Brink was named Pac-12 Player of the Year last week following a season in which she averaged 17.8 points and 12.0 rebounds per game, third-best in the nation. Brink was the 21st Pac-12 Player of the Year from Stanford which is as many as the rest of the schools in the conference combined. She was also named the 2024 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the year, marking the third straight year she took home that award.
Stanford lost to USC in the final of the Pac-12 Tournament on Sunday, but still are projected to be a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Should the Cardinal win the whole thing, it would be the second championship of Brink’s career, as the team also won in 2021.
