AA announcements [merged thread]

[OldAlum]

My Google skills have filed me.
I know ESPNW has theirs done. Coaches poll, I believe announces on Saturday. What about AP?

 

[rvwsleep]

I heard it was to be announced today, but I can't confirm.

ABC: Plum unanimous choice as AP women's basketball All-American

>>Plum received all 33 votes from a national media panel Monday that chooses the Top 25 each week. She is joined on the All-America team by South Carolina's A'ja Wilson, Maryland's Brionna Jones and UConn's Napheesa Collier and Katie Lou Samuelson. Voting was done before the NCAA Tournament.<<

>>This marked the fourth consecutive year that UConn had at least one All-American. Huskies junior Gabby Williams earned second team honors... Joining Williams on the second team were Ohio State's Kelsey Mitchell, Notre Dame's Brianna Turner, Washington's Chantel Osahor and Syracuse's Alexis Peterson.<<

Fuller: Elm City to Eagleville: UConn's Collier, Samuelson earn Associated Press All-American honors

That's a pretty good list.

Welcome to the Wall, Lou and Pheesa!

Yeah-I'm hoping Gabby made 2nd team.

Yes 3 on the Wall! Outstanding!

Does 2nd team get you on the wall? I thought it was 1st team, and some get there via the 10 woman WBCA(?) AA Team.

AP All American Status does not qualify for the Wall of Honer. It has to be the WBCA All American team which is announced during F4 Week.

I though it was any recognized 1st team AA selection. AP 1st team good, 2nd team, no.

 

[OldAlum]

My understanding was that first team AA on either list qualified for Wall of Honor. Big difference is Coaches list is ten players.
ESPN or other lists don't count.

 

[BIGMAC]

Congratulations to all . When does the All Canadian team get announced ???

[Go/huskies]

Gabby is 3rd on the list in APG only point guards Peterson, and Allen avg more APG. That's pretty impressive for a center!

 

[hussybulldog]

Congrats to all three! They have all leaped up high since the pre-season...

 

[LasVegasYank]

They're certainly in some elite company. By them I mean Plum, Wilson and Jones.

At this point I'm so confused by something I though I understood... that I don't even know where to go with this.

Kia gets Honorable Mention

 

[HuskyNan]

I thought Lindsay Allen should be second team. Kid's a gamer.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Diamond DeShields doesn't even make honorable mention. Wow!!

 

[UcMiami]

At this point I'm so confused by something I though I understood... that I don't even know where to go with this.

I do not believe there has ever been an AP 1st team AA (5 players) that has not also been a WBCA 1st team AA (10 players) so I don't think that the premise that either list would qualify has ever been tested. But most of us believe either would qualify, as most of us suspect a DPOY or Lieberman winner would also qualify, but have never had that tested either!

The criteria looks to be selected to the 10 member WCBA team, but being first team all AP pretty much guarantees that, I would think.

 

[pvdoggy]

Diamond DeShields doesn't even make honorable mention. Wow!!

but some people thinks she will be selected first in the WNB draft if she leaves.
