Chucky Jeffery 2013 WNBA Draft 04/16/2013 She was the 12th pick in the second round and the 24th pick overall. Chucky Jeffery Bio Sheet “I’m truly excited to be a part of the Minnesota Lynx organization,” Jeffery said. “I can’t wait to meet everyone. I’ve always loved Seimone (Agustus); watching Maya Moore, and coming in with (first round pick and Nebraska point guard) Lindsey Moore, it’s going to be fun. “I’m looking forward to learning everything from the veterans and elevate my game.” Minnesota was the 2011 WNBA champion and runner up in 2012, finishing 27-7 and first in the Western Conference. The Lynx are coached by Cheryl Reeve. Jeffery watched the draft on a snowy Colorado night with her Colorado teammates. Once she saw her name on the screen, she caught herself just staring at the television, while her fellow Buffaloes celebrated around her. www.cubuffs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?PRINTABLE_PAGE=YES&ATCLID=207234860&DB_OEM_ID=600 1/3 4/16/13 Jeffery Picked By Minnesota In WNBA Draft 2nd Round - CUBuffs.com - Official Athletics Web site of the University of Colorado “My teammates were going crazy, I had already been a little nervous; it was getting rough,” Jeffery said. “But then the excitement...it’s unexplainable, but wonderful.” Jeffery is the fifth player in team history to be selected in the WNBA Draft and second in the last three years. Former teammate Brittany Spears (2007-11) was a second round pick in 2011 (19th overall) by the Phoenix Mercury. Jeffery was one of the “excited teammates” when Spears’ name was called two years ago. “The day I saw Brittany picked, I said ‘I wanted to be there’ and the work starts now,” Jeffery said. Isabelle Fijalkowski (1994-95) was the second overall pick in the inaugural WNBA Elite Draft in 1997 by the Cleveland Rockers. Raegan Scott (1993-97) was also drafted in 1997, by the Utah Starzz in the regular WNBA Draft third round, 21st overall. Mandy Nightingale (1998-02) was selected by the Portland Fire in the third round, 37th overall pick, in 2002. A 5-foot-10 guard from Colorado Springs, Colo., Jeffery led Colorado in scoring (13.7 ppg), assists (4.0 apg), rebounds (8.2 rpg) and steals (2.2 spg). She was prominent on the Pac-12 Conference leaderboard ranking fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.3), fifth in steals and assists, sixth in overall rebounding and defensive rebounds (6.3 drpg), ninth in scoring and 13th in free-throw percentage (.706). She had 10 double-doubles, sixth in the Pac-12, eight of which came during league play. Colorado head coach Linda Lappe cites Jeffery’s versatility was something that caught the eye of the Lynx organization. “They like her ability to rebound from the guard position, that she’s a bigger point guard and can play the (off guard) and score the basket,” Lappe said. One of the most dynamic players in Colorado history, Jeffery was an honorable mention All-American and a Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Region nominee for the 2013 WBCA Division I Coaches' All-America Team. Lappe feels Jeffery’s overall athleticism and ability to get to the rim will serve her well at the next level. Plus, she’s got a great mind for what is happening out on the court. “She has good understanding of the game,” Lappe said. “She had to do so much for us for three years, she’s done everything we’ve asked her to do. “Chucky has worked hard to really improve herself as a basketball player and as a leader. I’m so happy for her, the Lynx is a great organization with a great fan base. She’ll learn a lot there; it’s a great situation for Chucky.” Jeffery was named All-Pac-12 for the second-straight year by both the media and the coaches. She also earned Pac-12 All-Tournament honors and was an honorable mention to the coaches' All-Defensive team. Jeffery made national headlines in December, leading the Buffaloes to an upset win over then-No. 8 ranked and eventual national runner-up Louisville, earning espnW and U.S. Basketball Writers Association Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Week honors. Jeffery is the only player in program history to record 1,600 points, 900 rebounds and 400 assists, ending her career sixth in scoring (1,644), fifth in rebounding (921) and fourth in assists (481). She also ranks third in minutes played (3,965), fourth in steals (283) and steals average (2.3 spg), fifth in double-doubles (30), sixth in assists average (3.8 apg) and field-goals made (619), seventh in minutes average (31.7 mpg), ninth in rebound average (7.4 rpg), starts (108) and games played (125), 11th in free-throws made (331), 13th in blocks (71), 14th in scoring average (13.2 ppg) and 15th in 3-point field goals (75). Colorado finished the 2012-13 season at 25-7 overall and fourth place in the Pac-12 at 13-5. The Buffaloes, who were ranked No. 19 in the final AP Top 25 poll, advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 13th time in team history and first time since 2004. “This has always been a dream, always in the back of my mind. This year I just focused on my season and www.cubuffs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?PRINTABLE_PAGE=YES&ATCLID=207234860&DB_OEM_ID=600 2/3 4/16/13 Jeffery Picked By Minnesota In WNBA Draft 2nd Round - CUBuffs.com - Official Athletics Web site of the University of Colorado continued to get better. The first year (2009-10) was an entire journey in itself, not what we had expected. But with Meagan and Brenna (Malcolm-Peck), we helped turn this program around, it’s remarkable to leave the program in a better situation than what we came in with.” www.cubuffs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?PRINTABLE_PAGE=YES&ATCLID=207234860&DB_OEM_ID=600 3/3 4/16/13 Women's basketball: CU Buffs' Chucky Jeffery selected by Minnesota Lynx In WNBA draft - Buffzone Women's basketball: CU Buffs' Chucky Jeffery selected by Minnesota Lynx In WNBA draft By Brian Howell Buffzone.com Boulder Daily Camera Posted: Buffzone.com For several minutes during the broadcast of the second round of Monday's WNBA Draft, Colorado's Chucky Jeff´ ery was listed among ESPN's three best players available. With her mom and many of her teammates and coaches around her in the CU locker room, Jeffery watched and wait´ ed anxiously until she was no longer an available player. Jeffery was selected by the Minnesota Lynx with the No. 24 overall pick - the final pick in the second round. "It's unexplainable," said Jeff´ ery, who completed her college career last month by leading the Buffaloes to the NCAA Tourna´ ment. "I couldn't yell, I couldn't scream; I just sat there and look´ ed at the screen and was like, 'This is crazy.' Everybody was screaming and hugging me. My body temperature got high and I was just kind of stunned, but definitely excited and nervous. My heart is still pumping." It has been a dream of Jeff´ ery's to play in the WNBA. "I'm just excited to have a team," said Jeffery, who grew up in Colorado Springs. "I'm ex´ cited that I'm going to get the opportunity to play for the Min´ nesota Lynx." One of the best players in CU history, Jeffery now joins one of the best teams in the league. The Lynx won the champion´ ship in 2011 and finished as run´ ner-up in 2012. They are guided by veteran coach Cheryl Reeve. "They're a really good team, they've got some awesome play´ ers," Jeffery said. "I'm just really excited to get in there and be´ come a learner again. I'm really anxious and excited to meet ev´ erybody and get acclimated." Jeffery is just the fifth CU player to be drafted in WNBA history. The league held its first draft in 1997. Jeffery and Britta´ ny Spears (2011) are the only Buffs to be drafted in the last 11 years. "We're excited for Chucky, we're proud of Chucky," CU head coach Linda Lappe said. In four years at CU, Jeffery led the Buffs to the postseason three times. That included CU's first run to the NCAA Tourna´ ment in nine years. Jeffery finished sixth on CU's all-time scoring list (1,644 points), fifth in rebounds (921), fourth in assists (481) and fourth in steals (283). She is the only player in CU history to rank among the top six in all those categories. Jeffery is the only player in team history to record 1,500 points, 900 rebounds and 400 as´ sists. Only four players have ac´ cumulated more double-doubles than her 30, and of the three tri´ ple-doubles in CU history, Jeff´ ery has two of them.

    SEASON REVIEW HAILIE SAMPLE 6-1 l Junior l Forward Flower Mound, Texas 104 | NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL | 2013-14 Huskers Have Fun on Run to Second NCAA Sweet 16 Nebraska spent the 2012-13 season solidifying its spot among the top 20 women's college basketball programs in the nation. A young Husker team that featured just one senior starter and just two seniors overall on an 11-player roster, sprinted to its second NCAA Sweet 16 in the past four years. Despite playing the nation's No. 12 strength of schedule, the Huskers notched the second-most wins in school history with a 25-9 record. NU also finished second in the regular-season Big Ten standings with a 12-4 conference mark, the second-most league wins in school history. Nebraska's success translated into a No. 16 RPI in the final NCAA rankings and a No. 18 final national ranking in the USA Today Coaches Top 25. It was NU's third top-25 finish in the last four seasons. Nebraska's fan base also continued to grow in support of one of the nation's rising programs. The Huskers ranked 16th nationally in average home attendance with more than 5,200 fans per game watching Nebraska compete in its final season in the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Huskers averaged nearly 6,600 fans per Big Ten home contest. Throughout the season, senior Lindsey Moore and junior Jordan Hooper rewrote Nebraska history. The pair became the first Seniors Meghin Williams (#10) and Lindsey Moore (#00) led Nebraska to three NCAA Tournament Husker teammates to earn preseason mention appearances, including NU's first two NCAA Sweet 16 bids during their four years in Lincoln.

  • Baylor's Brittney Griner Headlines 2012-13 Preseason 'Wade Watch' List
    Baylor's Brittney Griner headlines 2012-13 preseason 'Wade Watch' list ATLANTA (September 18, 2012) - Baylor center Brittney Griner, the 2012 State Farm® Wade Trophy winner, headlines the 2012-13 preseason "Wade Watch" list of candidates for the prestigious award, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced today. Connecticut leads all schools with three players on the 25-member preseason list. Five schools - defending national champion Baylor, Duke, Kansas, Nebraska and Penn State - are represented by two players each. Now in its 36th year, the State Farm Wade Trophy is named in honor of the late, legendary three-time national champion Delta State University coach, Lily Margaret Wade. Regarded as "The Heisman of Women's Basketball," the award is presented annually to the NCAA® Division I Player of the Year by the National Association of Girls and Women in Sport (NAGWS) and the WBCA. The preseason list is composed of top NCAA Division I women's basketball players who best embody Wade's spirit from 18 institutions and eight conferences. A committee of coaches, administrators and media from across the United States compiled the list using the following criteria: game and season statistics, leadership, character, effect on their team and overall playing ability. Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins, Delaware's Elena Della Donne and Georgetown's Sugar Rodgers join Griner on the preseason list for the third straight year. Alex Bentley of Penn State, Carolyn Davis of Kansas, Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley of Connecticut, Chiney Ogwumike of Stanford and Odyssey Sims of Baylor are making their second appearance on the list.

    Michael Sudhalter Communications Coordinator [email protected] 281-979-8109 For Immediate Release April 17, 2020 SEATTLE STORM SELECT CEDAR HILL HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE JOYNER HOLMES IN 2020 WNBA DRAFT (CEDAR HILL, TX) - Joyner Holmes is one of the best athletes in the storied history of Cedar Hill ISD. As a high school senior in 2016, she was the top girls basketball recruit in the United States and became the first female CHISD Scholar to be selected to two prestigious games – the McDonald’s All-American Game in Chicago and the Jordan Brand Classic in New York City. Holmes, now a 22-year University of Texas senior, made history once again on Friday night when the Seattle Storm drafted her in the second round (19th overall) of the 2020 WNBA Draft. She became the first CHISD athlete to be selected in the WNBA Draft, and Seattle is just two years removed from a WNBA Championship. Only 10 UT Women’s Basketball Players have been drafted by the WNBA, since the League started in 1997. Holmes became the sixth former UT player to be drafted in the Top 20. Longhorn fans -- both CHISD and UT -- will be able to see Holmes play when the Storm visits its Western Conference rival, the Dallas Wings, who play their home games at the College Park Center in Arlington. The COVID-19 Crisis has altered plans globally, and the sports world is no different. On March 13, Holmes – a 6-foot-3 forward and her UT teammates were planning on facing West Virginia in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament in Kansas City, Missouri.

Without your love and undying support, I wouldn’t have been able to make it through the long nights and countless hours spent working toward this life-changing goal. With your support, I feel like anything is possible. I love you with every fiber of my being. Thank you to my loving parents, Jim and Kim Owens, who have always encouraged me to reach for my dreams and to work tirelessly to make them possible. I will never be able to thank you enough for your emotional and financial support throughout my education. Without you, none of this is possible. I love you both. I want to thank God for giving me the strength and the patience needed to get through my lowest moments, and for the unending blessings he has bestowed on my life.
