This has to be some kind of record. Has any team ever had 6 players on the Naismith watch list?

Not sure, but this list would make for some powerful recruiting brochure verbiage.

The fact there are 6 and UConn has such balance they may get overlooked in the end. I highly doubt anybody will avg 20+ games while all will have half a dozen or more big games 25 to 30 pts. They aren't going to get to put up 20-25 shots every game like Mitchell or others, who will avg like 25+ pts game. Also, there are some that may not want things to be even more UConn focused. IMO Gabby got shafted out of 1st team AA last year b/c voters didn't want to have 3 1st team AA from the same school

Nice to see Kia and Crystal get recognized.

How can there be 6, when we can play only 5 at a time?

This is an insanely impressive factoid.

Q: Why are there 6 Huskies on the list? A: Because Megan is still learning.
