I think that the WBCA is aware that Destiny is eligible to play this coming season.

CORVALLIS – Oregon State's Destiny Slocum has been named to the 2019 Nancy Lieberman Award Preseason Watch List, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced Monday.
The list features the 20 top candidates for the prestigious award, which recognizes the top point guard in the country. To be considered for this honor, candidates exhibit the floor leadership, play-making and ball-handling skills of Class of 1996 Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman.
By mid-February, the watch list of 20 players for the 2019 Lieberman Award will be narrowed to just 10. In March, five finalists will be presented to Ms. Lieberman and the Hall of Fame's selection committee.
Slocum, who red-shirted last season due to NCAA transfer rules, was named WBCA National and Big Ten Freshman of the Year, and made the All-Conference Second Team in her freshman campaign with Maryland. She averaged 11.5 points, 6.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds during her time with the Terrapins.
Slocum, a digital communication arts major, shot 40.5 percent from the floor with an average of 30.9 minutes per game. She tallied 21 points, eight assists, four rebounds and three steals in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, including a halftime buzzer-beater from 70-feet. Slocum made the Big Ten All-Tournament Team after averaging 15.0 points and 6.0 assists in the event. She scored in double-figures 17 times on the 2016-17 season and went over five assists on 24 occasions.
The guard was the No. 7 ranked prospect in the nation when she graduated from Mountain View High School in 2016. Slocum was a McDonald's All-American and a two-time Idaho Gatorade Player of the Year. She averaged 24.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 6.1 assists during her senior campaign at Mountain View. Slocum also played point guard for the U.S. Under-19 team, helping lead the Stars and Stripes to a gold medal at the 2015 FIBA World Championships in Moscow, Russia.
Slocum will be part of an Oregon State squad that is 116-23 since the start of the 2014-15 season, the seventh-best record in the country, and has won 75 Pac-12 games over that span. The four-highest win totals in program history have all come in the last four years, and the Beavers have been ranked every week over that span.
The Beavers will open the season on Nov. 9 when Cal Poly visits Gill Coliseum.
Season tickets for the 2018-19 season are available now. The upcoming year will feature a number of upgrades to Gill Coliseum, highlighted by a center-hung video board. Oregon State will also begin charging for parking next season.
