Ok, as we head into the last weeks of the old year and close out the 1st semester, I have run the efficiency stats for 85 players that the P4+Big East conferences voted onto their preseason teams.
Last year, Caitlyn Clark led the way with 32.1 Score and this years Preseason All-Americans are listed with their 2023-24 listed first, their 2024 numbers, the player rank within the 85 and the Teams NET to show how tough a schedule the team has played
Hildago-24.2/26.5, 5th NET 5
Watkins-22.8/24.5, 9th NET 7
Bueckers-25.1/23.9, 10th NET 3
Iriafen-24.1/21.6, 17th NET 7
Booker-17.5/19.6, 22nd NET 2
Now after 10-13 games played, the current leader is....Kamil Pierre from Vanderbilt with a 30.0 rating, led by her 40 steals and #9 NET.
#2 is Serah Williams from Wisconsin and her 27.7 but her current team NET is 79 so they really haven't played anyone and I expect this number to drop precipitously.
For all the freshman listed, I have 15 and you guessed it-Sarah Strong leads the way at 25.5 and 7th overall!
The second best freshman is Mikayla Blakes from Vandy also at 18.8. HoopGurlz had her #8 on their ranking.
3rd best is Syla Swords from Michigan at 17.4 and a HG rank of 4.
The efficiency rating uses a lot of data so I can't simply past the file in the thread so you can't see all 85 players. I will list the addional 4 players who make up the rest of the top 10 (6 above being Hidalgo, Watkins, Bueckers and Strong and then Pierre and Williams)
#3 Aneesa Morrow LSU 27.5 NET 14
#4 Sedona Prince TCU 26.7 NET 8
#6 Ta'Niya Latson FSU 26.3 NET 23
#8 Lauren Betts UCLA 25.3 NET 6
Just outside the top 10 is Olivia Miles 23.5, Clara Strack Kentucky 22.6 NET 33
I will update the list a couple of more times this year at the halfway point of conference play and right before the NCAAT.
Let me add one more point-the "talking heads" seem to ignore actual stats when promoting certain players, one of which is #47 ranked Georgia Amoore of Kentucky who frankly does not deserve ANY All-America talk. Her efficiency is 15.1 with a FG% of 38.0%, 3 pt FG% of 25% and only 13 steals. Hardly AA numbers.
Having done this for a few years, most of these numbers will drop as conference play starts and better opponents are involved. The exception is UConn players who should see a slight rise in their numbers.
