Re: Megan Vogel

Megan Mahoney.

Nope! Since NorCalJack is the only one who answered I will assume noone else is going to. Okay here's the answer:
Jenni Lingor..played for Missouri State (then known as SW Missouri State). She was born in Aberdeen, SD, grew up there before moving to Oklahoma. Ironically enough, she was drafted right before Megan Mahoney. Jenni went to the Detroit Shock. She was cut before the last exhibition game

The first South Dakotan player to make the WNBA was Becky Hammon. She went undrafted in 1999.
The first South Dakota-born player to be drafted was Jenni Lingor
The first player who played her h.s. ball in SD to be drafted was Megan Mahoney

Re: Megan Vogel

If Vogel makes it she would be the first player from a South Dakota college to be drafted and/or make a team

So Megan Vogel is not likely to be taken No. 1 overall by the Phoenix Mercury, but the South Dakota State senior does have a shot to become the first player from this state's college system to be selected in the WNBA Draft. The three-round, 39-pick event begins at noon today in Cleveland with coverage on ESPN2. . . . (read more)


Best of luck to Megan!


Go State!

Saw this in the Star Trib this morning:Last update: April 03, 2007 – 10:25 PM

Megan Vogel file

Hometown: St. Peter, Minn.

College: South Dakota State

Height: 5-11

Pluses: Scored 1,850 career points at SDSU, becoming school's second-leading career scorer; averaged 17.5 points and 5.6 rebounds as a senior; possesses a tremendous work ethic and has intangibles teams crave.

Vogel on the WNBA pre-draft camp:

"I felt like I was able to compete. Don't get me wrong -- I don't feel like I was the best player there. But I did all the things my coach said would be important."

On her competitiveness:

"I don't care if it's practice, and it's gold vs. blue. I don't like to lose. It creates a hunger and a desire inside of me."

On the notion that she intentionally gave the Gophers' Kelly Roysland a shoulder shiver at the end of SDSU's controversial 59-58 victory this past season:

"I would never try to do anything like that. If you didn't know me, I can see how it might have been misconstrued. I have nothing but respect for her and the program."

Re: Megan Vogel

Any predictions of where Vogel goes?
I'll say pick #32 since that's her number. That would land her with the Washington Mystics.

Re: Megan Vogel

I'm going to say that Megan goes either 23rd or 24th to the Minnesota Lynx. They have had plenty of opportunities to check Megan out plus she would have to draw a number of SDSU fans and she is of course a MN native!

Re: Megan Vogel

I was hoping MN woudl finally get it right by picking a local player too. BUT IT MIGHT BE TOUGH SINCE THEY TRADED UP . They screwed up  on Whalen and McCarvel,  and the public was mad, MN just wants to have some local talent to get behind. AND HERE IS THE ULTIMATE UNDERDOG!!!!! TO CHEER FOR - HOME GROWN TALENT.

Plus they need quality at the forward position.

Yeah everyone LOVED Whalen and McCarville. I went to the U at the time and remember. One of my best friends was a trainer for the girls bball team at the time and said Whalen was one of the nicest athletes she had ever met unlike Chris Humphries, who I think plays in the NBA now, but I digress. It only makes sense that public support at the local level translates to public support of the player in the pros. Vogel got quite a lot of cheers when introduced at the UofMN/SDSU game showing that people don't forget where the player came from. We'll see if MN has figured that out yet.

Can you believe it? Harding, Davenport, and Price go in the first 3 picks. Vogel is still available. Live coverage on ESPN2.

Re: Megan Vogel

Here is another quote from an article on WNBA draft site.

Likewise, South Dakota State guard Megan Vogel is another prospect who will have to fight to make a roster spot if drafted. A lights-out shooter who helped take her program into Division I when she arrived on campus four years ago, Vogel hopes to bring passion, intensity and energy to a WNBA team (and in case you're curious just what that means, she'd be happy to explain it to you very loudly).

"In playing with passion, you have to love what you do," Vogel said at Pre-Draft Camp over the weekend. "Otherwise there is no way you can get to your full potential. Energy, another thing we talk about with our team is being an 'energy-giver.' No matter if it's my basket or another player's basket, I try to get them hyped up and excited about what they're doing. I wear my emotions on my sleeve. Intensity means I hate to lose. I don't lose well. I don't want others to work harder than me."
