Oregon State's Ruth Hamblin selection on a 5-person 1st team is pretty telling that this should not be taken seriously.
For one, they say she was conference POY last season when Cal's Reshanda Gray actually was.
She's a great Jennifer Hamson-like (formerly BYU) player who similarly has consistently improved from just a tall girl entering college to someone who could potentially make a WNBA roster. But 12.9 ppg and 8.6 rpg for a team that, yes, had a near flawless regular season, but at the end of the day was upset by a mid-major in the 2nd round of NCAA's at home does not translate into a top 5 accolade.
I really like Hamblin. She may very well make another quantum leap this year, but her resume to date doesn't place her in the top 5 of all of WCBB.
