Talented athletes have been one of the trademarks of the last decade of TCU women's basketball. Once college ball is finished for some of these players, the professional ranks have come calling.
The summer of 2008 saw two former Frogs reach the WNBA Finals as members of the San Antonio Silver Stars. Sandora Irvin and Adrianne Ross helped the Stars post the league's best regular-season record on their way to winning the franchise's first WNBA Western Conference championship.
