UCONN's opportunities to differentiate themselves are then. Short sighted to overlook the Oregon/OSU/Stanford matchups.

"Jeff Walz has rotated Jazmine Jones and Dana Evans as the primary playmaker this year, depending on the game, opponent, matchup, etc. Given the tremendous increase in her scoring from last year (10.4 ppg) to this year (18.5 ppg) and the sharing of facilitation duties, it is reasonable to have Evans on a shooting guard list (especially if there are others to be placed on the PG list who would not fit at SG). "
Jones is not and has never been the primary playmaker. She is a creator in the open court, but she does not run the point. Evans has played a few minutes here and there at off guard in a two-guard front with Mykasa Robinson spelling her at PG, but not very often. This year Evans is a shoot-first PG. And she'll remain in that role unless/until Walz can come up with another consistent outside shooter

Destiny Slocum and Kiah Gillespie are FORMER Maryland players who made the list.
Yes. That should count for something for Big-10 recruiting.
Gillespie stayed two seasons and Slocum stayed her frosh year.

The center position definitely had a lot of question marks coming into this season. The Centers that graduated last year consisted of McCowan, Brown, Anigwe, Smith, Gustafson, and Turner. With that many talents bugs moving on, I'm not surprised there's a head scratcher or two in this list for that position.

You people do understand that this is subjective. It is not factual in any sense of the word...lol....It's like...the best stadium...the best mascot...the best city.....it's just opinions and yet people get upset and want to get angry about an opinion from a group, some of which have probably never played any type of competitive game...much less played basketball.
These are the 5 best women's basketball players at every position
Through the first two months of the 2019-20 women's basketball season, these are the five best players at every position.www.ncaa.com
Crystal, Megan and Olivia make the list.
While I understand Lauren Cox is on the list due to her talents, not sure if her contribution to the current season warrants her inclusion.

Mia Davis - Temple Guard best player UCONN faced time date. Everything she did on the court was fully contested the entire game yet she still fought through and got a Double Double at 6’ tall, outplayed Megan on many possessions and Megan played 1st Team AA. Somebody smart will make her a late 1st rd WNBA pick next year. That young lady is a Baller...

Personally the article is thereabouts in selecting the Top 25 players for the season (exception being that Cox has been out injured most of the season thus far), but the issue is with the way they tried to present it, as being the best 5 at each position.
There are only 12 first-round selections in the WNBA draft, so Davis will need to continue to show very well the rest of the year to earn that draft position. She is putting up a double-double average this season, so she appears to be very productive.
I note that Davis is a junior. That may be a reason she doesn't appear on many mock drafts boards that go 36 picks deep.

Well, it wasn't just Big Ten.
This NCAA Directory has 5 regions and not a single player from the Midwest Region was selected.

True, I didn't concern myself with those matchups. They will work themselves out and will be in the mix with UCONN come March or April.
