LONDON Olympic teammates Jenna O'Hea and Belinda Snell shortly will team up in Sydney Uni's 2016-17 WNBL outfit as the Flames' offseason heats up.

My (e)mail also has a 196cm centre bound for Sin City and possibly even shooting guard Sarah Graham as the Flames retool under new coach Cheryl Chambers.

Currently averaging 4.2ppg, 1.8rpg and 1.3apg in 16 minutes for the Seattle Storm, O'Hea, 29 and 185cm, is playing alongside another London Olympian in the WNBA, Abby Bishop.

She saw 15 minutes of action on Wednesday as the Storm went down 74-78 to Rebecca Allen's New York Liberty.

Snell, 35 and 180cm, still averaged 15.1ppg last season at Bendigo Spirit, good enough for 12th in the WNBL.

BIG CATCH: Belinda Snell, a quintessential Opal in action at the London Olympics.

She also made headlines at the Olympics in London with a monster heave from the backcourt which drained the net and saved Australia, sending the Opals into an overtime thriller against France.

That was one of the most-watched moments of the Games.

Triple-Olympian Snell, a Gold Medal-winning Opal in 2006, still has plenty of WNBL mileage left in her as Sydney revamps for Chambers' new era.

OH HEY THERE: Jenna O'Hea heads to the hoop for the Opals in London.

O'Hea has fallen a long way out of Opals favour since being touted as "the next Penny Taylor" four years ago but there's no doubting she still can rip apart the WNBL competition. 

Hayley Moffatt, Alex Wilson, Carly Boag, and Tahlia Tupaea already have been confirmed as returning from the 2015-16 Flames' squad, aiming to improve on last season’s 13-11 record.

INTERESTING tidbit I picked up recently.

One of the reasons Shannon Seebohm - now rightly identified as one of the most exciting young coaching prospects in Australia, and also one of the most promising for some time - isn't back for a third year at the helm of the Flames was because he was seeking a longer contract.

I am hearing the young man who won WNBL Coach of the Year honours in his rookie 2014-15 season and this week steered the Sapphires to a FIBA U17 Gold Medal, even was prepared to endure further management interference in the recruiting process if a new two-year deal was on the table.

But Sydney only offered him a one-year extension.

He walked but the Flames landed on their feet by appointing Chambers ... for two years.
