This article is about Anna Wilson, the sister of NFL quarterback Russell Wilson and the woman who holds the Stanford Cardinal record for most career games played, with 160. She won the 2021 NCAA tournament with the Cardinal, and was in the
final four in 2022 until losing to Uconn. I believe this is ready for FA status. I don't believe she is pursuing WNBA but she is keeping her options open. If anything changes I'll be sure to update the article. Now that her college career is over, I think the article is stable enough to be a featured article.

Comments from ChrisTheDude
Please bear in mind I know almost nothing about basketball, although I did attend a game once while on holiday in New York........
"Wilson played as a senior, Wilson averaged" - could probably change one of the two Wilsons to "she"
"Wilson only played in six games her freshman year due to health issues: Wilson missed the first eleven games of her freshman year" - could change the second Wilson to "she" and lose the second "freshman year" as it's obvious you are still talking about that year
"who played college football as a wide receiver, and college baseball" - could lose the "as a wide receiver" as extraneous detail given that it isn't his article (it would help the sentence flow a bit better as well)
That's what I got. A good read although I got lost trying to figure out some terminology which would probably be really clear to someone from the United States but isn't to someone from the other side of the pond....... --

Drive-by comment from a reader: I've now added references to the alt parameter in that template's documentation. (This is also one of many infoboxes that doesn't expose an upright scaling factor from InfoboxImage but probably should...) 25 pages had already found it. That template has a surprising number of unsupported parameter pages, too.

"American college basketball player" → "American former college basketball player"
McDonald's All-American selection and state championship, as well as Pac-12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year award, may be worth including in the lead. High school statistics can be removed from lead.
Added and removed high school statistics.

Rename "Early life" section to "Early life and high school career".
2014 FIBA Under-17 World Championship information can be moved to a separate "National team career" section following "College career", if there is enough info. Participation in
2013 USA Basketball Women's U16 National Team Trials could be added here as well.
I'm not sure there's enough for an entire section but I did add that she participated in U16 trials. I also added some from her time at Collegiate.

To improve comprehensiveness, add more information from
this article about early life and early high school career. Wilson's
relationship with her late father is also notable to include in this section.
I added a line from the second article but I couldn't find specifics on her relationship with her father. I remember reading about it somewhere. I'll be sure to add a line on it.

as a part of Team USA at the 2014 FIBA Under-17 World Championship for Women as the United States defeated Spain --> not the most elegant of sentences. Perhaps a rephrase such that we do not have USA and United States
To be honest it should be obvious she was a part of Team USA, so I've cut that part.

which comprises many of the top-ranked American and Canadian high school basketball graduates played the same day as a counterpart boys' game --> bit difficult to parse, perhaps insert "and is" before played? And perhaps the sentence should be in past tense?

OK, all fine, except for the lead now has an unexplained acronym: "(fourth in NCAA history)". This should be spelled out and linked.

It looks like you are generally using the work parameter instead of the publisher parameter in your citations. That's an acceptable way to do it, but if so you are missing the work parameter in [6], and you have publisher instead of work in [11], [21] and [22].
Added for reference 6. All changed to work.

Lead
"over a career, with 160 (fourth in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) history)" <<<=== The comma and parentheses are both out of place here. How about "over a career with 160, the fourth-most in the history of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)"?
career assists with 246 and had the fifth-most points in team history, with 735 <<<=== you don't need that comma (it's not consistent with the first part of the sentence)
And/or maybe group the defensive accomplishments in one sentence. It's weird that "selected to the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team in her final two years with the team" refers to 2021 and 2022 when everything else in that sentence is only 2022.
The "WNBA Draft" is a term in itself. It isn't proper to write it out "Women's National Basketball Association draft" or even "Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) draft". The easiest fix is I don't think you to spell out what WNBA stands for. (In this case in particular, it's not important because she isn't a WNBA player.)
2021 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship Game <<<=== This isn't really the common name. Suggest abbreviating as "NCAA Division I national championship" or something like that
Suggest identifying Russell Wilson as a Super Bowl winning quarterback with the Seahawks instead of his current role, which is less well-known.
Kept that he's with the Broncos but added his SB win.

Early life
"while her grandmother was a college professor and her uncle graduated from Harvard Law School." <<<=== Do you know these are related to her father? If not, I would suggest putting it in a separate sentence.
as she got older, her father coached her at a local YMCA. Her father died when she was 12 <<<=== Suggest connecting these into one sentence: " As she got older, her father coached her at a local YMCA before he died when she was 12."
She attended Collegiate School in Richmond, Virginia, where she enrolled in the eighth grade, before she moved to Bellevue, Washington for her senior year. <<<=== the writing could be better
"five-star prospect, and the 42nd-best player" <<<=== same thing, you use the comma in the first fragment of this sentence but not the later fragment that says something similar
"before the match, Wilson suffered a concussion in practice, which was her third.[5] Wilson did not play in the match." suggest connecting these in the same sentence, and split it off from the previous sentence.
if you refer to her fifth year as "fifth-year senior", then her sixth year should be "sixth-year senior"
I controlled f for "sixth year" and didn't find anything. If there's something I'm missing feel free to let me know.

I think either is OK, our article is capitalized.
After the first mention, they should be abbreviated to the common name: "the NCAA tournament", "Pac-12 conference tournament"
"Wilson was granted another season of eligibility at Stanford under the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA's) hardship-waiver rule, which states an athlete may gain another year of eligibility if he or she sustained an injury or illness in the first half of the team's season, and the player only played in up to thirty percent of the team's games, after an appeal of an initial denial" <<<=== overly technical, just "Because of the health issues her freshman year, Wilson was granted another season of eligibility at Stanford under the NCAA's hardship wavier rule[footnote] after she appealed an initial denial." and footnote the specifics
She finished with career highs in minutes per game, at 23.6, field goal percentage, at .509, and rebounds per game, with 3.7,[3] as the Cardinal defeated the Arizona Wildcats 54–53 to win the 2021 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship Game <<<=== split into two sentences, separating the season averages with the championship
a process by which professional teams select players to play for their teams <<<=== suggest writing out what WNBA stands for here, "in which teams in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) select players to sign for their rosters"
