KK or Ashlynn for BE FOY?

[From France]

It will be a close call beetween the 2 of them, as now I would get my vote to Ash

Too early to say, but my local girl Q needs to step it up! She has only 1 BE FOW award.

A is so fun to watch - can’t wait til she settles into her comfort zone.

I am a big Q fan. Of the freshmen she does have the most upside yet to be achieved. I have every confidence she will get there. I miss the Afro Puffs. Plus they don't whip around like that extra-long ponytail.

How about KK gets BE DPOY and Shade gets BE FOY. That sounds about right to me!

Ummm…

I might have considered that possibility before Nika absolutely shut down SJ’s Unique Drake on Saturday. I suspect that Nika will also draw the defensive assignment vs ND’s mercurial freshman pg, Hannah Hidalgo. If Nika does a reasonable job containing Hidalgo, it’s case closed for BE DPOY.

For opposing coaches it might be as simple as which of the two freshmen lights up their team when they play UConn. Of course, if they both light up an opponent that does present a dilemma…

FOY---Ask yourself: If you had a choice in a very tight scoring game--with Paige and Nika as potential point guards--Would you rather have KK or Ashlynn in the game?
In my Metis Tribe --we call Shades little Chief Sure Shot. ! She's the Annie Oakley of WCBB.
No disrespect to KK--for a Freshman, she is amazing. Her game reminds me of Rene Montgomery only at a speed twice as fast.

When Q Samuels settles into the College game, Now that ICE is broken for ICE and DeBerry making pro moves under the boards--i don't envy Geno's task. Poor Geno---born with an NC trophy in his hand.

I think that I recall NIKA shutting down "Unique". Drake (St. John's highest scorer) to 4 points on three shots... Geno "loves" consistency".... So... the BE-DPOY belongs to the "Croatian Kid" until (at least) next year. IMHO

Too soon. Let's finish the conference schedule first.

Looks like it's KK's turn this week to shine and get FOW....

Maybe, but they still have DePaul to play.

 

[Zarathustra]

They 'cover' ASH and KK lights it up! Leave SHADE free and she makes "ashes" of your defense!
A great combo! I'm still in the CO-BE - FPOY awards. Not a competition... teammates ... a wonderful BLEND
of talent. GO FROSH, GO RED SHIRTED SOPH (ICE ). BTW, I'm looking forward to future games of
FIRE (ASHES) and ICE (cool play) with KK as the one who "assists" both of them to consistent success!!

A nice picture of "MUSCLES MUHL"!

 

[Pharos]

Both

Because of her consistent offense, Shade to me appears to be the current leader. That being said, if KK continues to hit her 3-pointers at critical times, I reserve the right to change my vote.

Co-FOY

This!

 

[Husky fanatic]

By the end of the season this will be a dead heat between the two of them.

Funny thing about this thread and poll - SNY posted it on their broadcast during the DePaul game and invited viewers to vote. Something like 75% vote for Ash.

One thing I noticed especially against DePaul - KK played the point and the rest played off the ball. For the most part. That meant KK had the ball in her hands to decide to drive to the basket (which she did unsuccessfully against DePaul - ragged game from her for that), but she was generally the one bringing the ball up and making initial decisions on the offense in the half court.

KK, it seems, won't score as much unless she's able to finish better around the basket with her drives...

That would be the same KK Arnold that knocked down 4/6 shots from the arc just one game earlier vs Seton Hall.

 

[JellyBean]

I voted for KK but like others have said, it is going to be a close race, but Ashlynn is pulling ahead. Overall, I am glad to see these young ladies coming in and having a pretty successful run.

 

[HuskyNan]

We are so lucky to have them both.

 

[Steelerone]

How about a dual presentation?
