Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 2365201, member: 5823"] Much agreement with your picks. In the first group would agree with all except Arike Ogunbowale and Billings who I previously wrote about. Arike did not make a Sophomore leap in what ND needed from her most which was the ability to take high quality shots within the ND offensive. I'm not even sure she will be the best Guard on ND next year because Jackie Young seems to have that mastered and is a superior defender to Arike. Within the ACC recall that Arike did not make All-ACC team last year and I doubt that she will this year either. Not as high on Jordan Canada as you are & she is no Jefferson clone. Jordin shoot .434 last year MoJeff's finished her career with a shooting percentage of .550. Not nearly ready to go there with Mercedes. For 4 years I waited patiently for the "Wait till she gets healthy mantra". I am still waiting for her to impact a meaningful game or even better yet, help her team not lose to another unranked team. Kalani Brown on the other hand had one of the most dominating 2nd half of a season I have ever seen last year. Tyasha Harris was an incredible steadying influence for SC last year as a Freshmen but she did not shoot well enough (.42) or score enough (5.6 PPG) to be in consideration for AA. McPhee & Atkins should not be in this conversation either-nice players, but no. Myisha Hines-Allen of 2015-16 put up AA numbers, Myisha Hines-Allen of 2016-17 fell off badly-as in almost every statistically category imaginable. Victoria Vivians shot .371 last year and .281 on three point attempts that is right up there with Diamond Deshields and GT Kaela Davis. Vivians is not an AA. I agree that Chennedy Carter will be National Freshmen of the year, TA&M will have plenty of shots available for her. Wilson might win NPOY but it will be close because everything (good and bad) will fall on her very capable shoulders. All that it would take for A'ja not to win is a major slip up like SC losing to Duke & TN again or not being a #1 seed going into the tournament. Gabby will be lurking and a few high profile games like she had against ND or head to head with A'Ja could put her over the top. [/QUOTE]
