Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 2010553, member: 1772"] I think you have this just about right, but, alas, there are flaws in your argument, at least one of which you correctly point out. You have, understandably, and intelligently, selected the five best players in the game. As we know, however, that generally ain't how the process works. First off, as you suggest, there cannot be three Huskies, however deserving. Second, offensive stats always disproportionately sway the voters, who will thereby fail to justly reward the true number one overall player in the game, Gabby W., with even a first team AA nod...too bad. Thirdly, although some make the point that consensus preseason selections may not be named if their stats don't hold up, I find that contention, however logical, to often be untrue. Sports writers and commentators resist change with a mighty stubbornness, and the facts on the ground tend not to generally upset the applecart of their prior expectations...in other words, the "fix" tends to be in. I think that the big girl from MD (Jones?) deserves a close look. I suspect that the committee will succumb to voting for Coates, who is, in fact, pretty good, unless she is playing UConn, against which her game is routinely "undressed" (thanks, Morgan) and her body language goes unmistakably South, which should never happen to a first team AA. Anyway, while I like your analysis, I'm pretty certain that some players on our favorite team will be quite unfairly locked out...that's a shame...so we'll just have to content ourselves with #12!
