Nice.

 

[hoopsdiva]

Congratulations to Stef and KML (the only sophomore on the list). The future is very bright for us, and the future begins this weekend!

Now there's an AA list that looks like it was composed by somebody that follows the sport...big props to Stefanie and Kaleena and welcome to the wall of honor!

UConn played against all except for DelleDonne, or 7 women. Thomas, Bone and Ogumwike all performed well below their norm. Don't recall how Lucas did.

Not surpising, but something to point out.

 

[DaddyChoc]

congrats to KML & SD but does this qualify for the wall?

 

[VAMike23]

Welcome to the Wall of Honor (in due time), Kaleena and Stefanie !!

I thought to be on the wall you had to a consensus all America. Kemal Stef were 2nd and 3 rd team all americans

Lucas had 15 points on 5-12 shooting in 39 minutes vs. UCONN. Not Kelly's greatest job defensively, but certainly competent. Lucas is terrific for PSU.

But congrats to KML and Dolson. and hoopsdiva is correct - the best sophomore in the nation is on our team! Love that kid!!

But CONGRATULATIONS to KML and Stef!!

Kelly also spent time on Bentley, who went 1/11.

Excellent! Congratulations Kaleena and Stefanie!!!

Maggie was shut down until she picked up the bulk of her points in garbage time...

Ah thanks. did not recall that. That makes more sense!!

Kelly also spent time on Bentley, who went 1/11.

LUCAS had 2 3pters in the last 3 minutes when we were up by 19. They were not against Kelly
also she was fouled by I THINK BRIA and made both FTS
KF did shut her down

You have to make *a* first-team AA. The WBCA/State Farm team qualifies. Not sure what the thoughts are on the USBWA team. One of the Horde will have the answer, I imagine.

I believe this award counts for the wall of fame.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about..... Congrats Stef and Kaleena

 

[rjuconn]

So when all is said and done, how many Wall of Honor members will this year's team be able to count? They're already at three (Hartley, Dolson and KML) and everyone full expects Stewart to join them before she's done. But will it stop at four?

Kelly Faris' #34 should hang from the Gampel rafters, or else the Wall of Honor has lost its honor.

It is such farce that some people here celebrate Stef's All-American status, yet ignore Kelly's wonderful 4 years. TRUE UConn women fans know better. Kelly's "Honorable Mention" is simply the work of dishonorable voters, dishonorable people. She has been so much more than "Honorable Mention", for 2 years now, and the voters know it too, deep inside their cold, manipulating hearts
Yes, KLM deserves at LEAST 2nd team, but in a real world, which this obviously is NOT, given the voting, Kelly should be WORLDS above Stef, AA wise. Sure, Beth Mowins and Doris Burke call it "Stefanie Dolson and the UConn Huskies" but people true to themselves, who aren't lopsided in the noggin, KNOW that such a billing is completely ludicrous, and actually is quite unfair to Stefanie, who I believe probably deserves her third team recognition, still an honor, certainly more than "Honorable Mention".

These same people who ignore Kelly, cheer Jeff Walz' victory over Baylor, then drown out the voices of people who saw the game, the vast majority who had the impression that the referees decisions were being made by Jeff's grandmother. (Louisville backing stategy/collusion for Media/Announcers/and least but not least, the REFEREES: Make 20-25 bad calls vs. Baylor. Allow ALL Brit muggings(except for one "questionable" one., which of course is shown OVER + OVER. NOW, INTENTIONALLY make two clearly bad calls vs. Louisville. THEN, let the TV replay those 2 bad calls against Louisville OVER+ OVER + OVER again, which they did. To make it all seem fair, which it wasn't. THEN, to any Mulkeys, or to any other honest people who protested this travesty, say "Another RANT! Get OVER it!" Exactly those words.
And you can't do a thing about it.

That was certainly a memorable first post

That's an understatement...woah

 

[MilfordHusky]

I believe this award counts for the wall of fame.

I believe that is correct: first-team AA from any of the major groups, including this one.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Ok, going back to October 2010, which of you thought Stefanie would be an All-American as a junior? Nice going by the Big Girl.

And Kaleena gets AA as a soph, joining Sveta, Diana, Maya, and Bria. You can call KML a 3-timer, because she's only going to get better.

And I think Stewie is on the team next year. Next year's UConn team will have (at least) 6 past/present/future AAs, including MoJeff and MoTuck.
