Message: [QUOTE="saywho, post: 5186148, member: 10053"] I’m aware of the stats of pretty much all D-1 women players on top 25 teams, and most top recruits. I tend to be a stat nerd that struggles with sleep so I peruse them rather nightly. But thank you for sharing with the forum! Like I said, Sarah is a phenomenal player and I doubt anybody would question or be upset if she won FOY (and if she does win, she deserves it!), but I don’t think she’s running away with it or that it’s just some foregone conclusion she is going to win it. There are others in the conversation whether you personally are in agreement with it or not. I could delve quite deeply into (and thoroughly support) why being surrounded by a large number of other quality players (including two other #1 recruits that demand defensive attention from other teams) and a coach who ensures the team as a whole plays defense cohesively is going to naturally inflate some of the specific statistics you mention. I’m not saying that to take away from how great she is … she is great! But at the end of the day, I’m not here to convince anybody that one player is better or more deserving than somebody else — because we don’t get a vote in who wins any awards at the end of the season. Also, I think everybody here knows this isn’t the place where opinions are going to be changed when it involves anything to do with UConn or its players (which is actually a complement not a knock toward UConn faithful.) So, it’d all be a moot point and a waste of energy on my part trying to defend all the attacks that would be sure to come :) [/QUOTE]
