FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas guard Alexis Tolefree is among those hoping her phone rings Friday when all three rounds of the WNBA Draft will be aired on ESPN at 6 p.m.
Twelve WNBA teams will select a combined 36 players in the draft, which takes place while the WNBA is shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. ESPNW ranked Tolefree the No. 22 prospect in the draft earlier this week.
"To see my name at No. 22, that was big for me," Tolefree said. "I never really imagined myself being in that spot. You dream about it, but once it's finally here it's like a dream come true.
