The final decade or so of Muffet McGraw’s tenure at Notre Dame saw her develop many future WNBA stars. Those stars have their mark on today’s league and have earned the right to display their skills as much as possible. The WNBA All-Star roster for the annual All-Star Game on July 20 in Phoenix has been announced. That roster will include the Dallas Wings’ arike ogunbowale and the Minnesota Lynx’s Kayla McBride, two players who came up with the Irish. Ogunbowale was named to the team by virtue of being one of the top 10 vote-getters among fans, players and media. McBride was one of eight additional players named after coaches completed the final round of voting. Among those on the final ballot but not making the roster were the Seattle Storm’s Skylar Diggins-Smith and the Chicago Sky’s Marina Mabrey. The WNBA All-Stars will face the U.S. Olympic team, which includes the Las Vegas Aces’ Jackie Young, who also was one of the top 10 WNBA vote-getters, and the Storm’s Jewell Loyd.
