Just saw this article which might stir some thoughts

Preseason Player of the Year: Maddy Siegrist, Villanova
If this attempt at preseason awards had been written and published on August 2nd, then this would have gone to Paige Bueckers. But her left ACL decided to take the year off, and so the obvious move here is to hand this year’s preseason POY to last year’s end of season POY. We don’t have to overthink these things.
Preseason Freshman of the Year: Ayanna Patterson, Connecticut
Hey, look, when ESPN’s #4 high school prospect is in your league, you pencil her in as FOY here and move on. Could it also be #5 prospect Ice Brady, who is also at UConn? Sure! Is there a chance it’s someone else at the end of the season because of how Geno Auriemma distributes minutes? Maybe, but that’s not the award we’re handing out here!
Preseason All-Big East Team
Azzi Fudd, UConn
Aneesah Morrow, DePaul
