Eastern Kentucky University Athletics

Colonels in the Pros

Since 2008, the Eastern Kentucky University women's basketball program has had 14 former student-athletes achieve a lifelong dream of playing professional basketball. Of those 14 players, three have declared for the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) Draft upon the conclusion of their graduating season in Richmond and four players are currently active. EKU women's basketball has yet to have a former student-athlete be drafted into the WNBA ranks.
