Cameron Brink not an All-American? That's insane! While I do think that Haley is Stanford's best player, statistically, Brink has had a better year than her. They are super close in points and rebounds, but Cam has been so much more efficient while playing significantly less minutes because of foul trouble. I'm not understanding the criteria here.

Interesting that Geno got a vote for COY but Tara didn't. Not sure I see what supports that...

uCoNn mEdiA biAs!!!

Also funny that Haley Jones got first-team A-A but Cameron Brink wasn't even second team;

mOrE uCoNn mE... oh wait.
Hmm. Let me think.
DePaul media bias?

Also funny that Haley Jones got first-team A-A but Cameron Brink wasn't even second team; they split PAC-12 POY awards, with Jones getting the coaches' award and Brink getting the media's. Until the PAC-12 tournament, where Jones pretty clearly was the more significant contributor of the two, more on our board thought Brink deserved POT than Jones.

I agree, the Cam Haley thing is confusing. There is no way that Haley is first-team AA but not Cam. tbh, I think they both are second team AA.

Mind boggling how badly overlooked Khayla Pointer is. For a top 10 team she averages 19 points, 6.5 boards, 5.2 assists, 1.7 steals and has respectable shooting percentages.


If I were picking teams now my top 3 squads would be:
1st Team:
Caitlin Clark
Aliyah Boston
Nalyssa Smith
Naz Hillmon
Khayla Pointer

2nd Team:
Cameron Brink
Ashley Joens
Elizabeth Kitley
Rhyne Howard
Monika Czinano

3rd Team:
Maddy Siegrist
Ayoka Lee
Haley Jones
Elissa Cunane
Shakira Austin

High HM:
Aneesah Morrow
Veronica Burton
Shaylee Gonzales
Jacy Sheldon
Olivia Miles
Madi Williams

It's nice to see that Morrow attracted some bona fide media attention.
FWIW it also spotlights the Big East.
