Weighing the options on Ohio State guard Taylor Mikesell’s WNBA Draft deadline

The 2021/22 season is over for the Ohio Buckeyes, but there’s one question that remains: will guard Taylor Mikesell return?

Monday is the final day for college players to declare their interest for the WNBA Draft, which requires a tough decision for Mikesell. Either stay for a final season, due to the NCAA granting winter athletes an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, or take her shot at the professional level.

If Mikesell waives that eligibility, her college career is all but over. Once any NCAA player signs an agent, their eligibility in college ends.
