great honor but let's remember that the ESPNW honors are not the Blue Ribbon of All American teams ...... I mean there are like 5 people voting on the team members. But it is a great honor to be proud all the same.
As a completely biased UConn fan, my 1st team would have included Plum & Wilson along with UConn's trio. Plum was phenomenal this season, and every time I watched SC play, with the exception of the UConn game, Wilson was a dominant presence who always seemed to make the key plays in tight games.
I think she and Turner both remind me of Tina Charles pre her last month of her junior year - they can both for stretches of a game, and even occasionally for a whole game look like the best player in the country, but they can then almost disappear. They have yet to find that consistency that Tina finally discovered, or as they say in evaluating football players, they are not yet 'high motor' players.
Bria and Stef's senior season - Bria made AA first team in her sophomore season - then missed as a junior but KML and Dolson were first team AA, so senior year they had three.
Thanks. I was trying to come up with that, given the number of AA selections in recent years. I knew we had Bria and Stef, but forgot about Kaleena. We also had Stewie and Kaleena and Stewie and Moriah. We would have had one this season if Morgan had stayed.
It's obviously a smaller group than the AP writers or WBCA coaches. I didn't find a list, but it's usually some or all of the following WCBB experts from ESPN:
She's got game. Unfortunately, not enough scoring punch from the rest of the team IMO.
I find it interesting that no one talks about her as a high draft pick. I think she has been well coached, is a really good three point shooter, and good tall defender, and understands a team game. She could be a really good pick-up for some team not in the lottery.
As I said I like A'ja and would love to see your prognosticating come true, however given her system, I am betting against you. And yes, she did play better in that gam, but "a game should not a 1st Team All-American make"
Muffet is too busy to notice the awards stuff. She has her team working extra hard practicing their great flopping techniques.
The NCAA doesn't have a committee that selects All-Americans. The NCAA selection committee selects and seeds teams for the NCAA tournament.
That will certainly save you some money on hate-mail postageAh..... only 3 voters voted on these awards
I'm surprised and disappointed that she (A'ja) made the first team. I agree with others that have posted recently of her not being a top 5 player.
I feel that she would have developed appreciably further, had she come here, assuming she would have put in the work. Her choice!
Kia will be drafted but I feel it's highly unlikely she'll be a top 5 pick. Late first round or maybe 2nd.
I see your opinion hasn't changed. Noted!
