CU Buffs' Kennedy Leonard hoping for call from WNBA

Aside from a sun burn on the tops of her feet, Kennedy Leonard returned from a weekend in Florida feeling good and optimistic.

The Colorado senior is one of several players around the country hoping to hear their name called during the WNBA Draft on Wednesday night. Leonard could become the first CU player drafted since Chucky Jeffery in 2013.

"It's exciting for sure," Leonard said. "It's super nerve-racking. On Wednesday I probably won't know what to do with myself."

Last weekend, Leonard was in Tampa, Fla., the site of the women's Final Four, to participate in the Merit Pro Combine, along with about 100 other prospects.
