Lou, Pheesa, Crystal on Wooden List (merged threads)

I like Rhyne Howard, but I'm really not feeling her on this list and Anriel Howard not. Pretty clear to me Sunday who the better player was.

No big deal. Anriel is not POY caliber, but she should probably be on this list.
 
Kristine Anigwe, Cal
Kenisha Bell, Minnesota
Kalani Brown, Baylor
Bridget Carleton, Iowa State
Chennedy Carter, Texas A&M
Kaila Charles, Maryland
Napheesa Collier, UConn
Lauren Cox, Baylor
Sophie Cunningham, Missouri
Crystal Dangerfield, UConn
Rennia Davis, Tennessee
Asia Durr, Louisville
Megan Gustafson, Iowa
Ruthy Hebard, Oregon
Rhyne Howard, Kentucky
Sabrina Ionescu, Oregon
Tiana Mangakahia, Syracuse
Teaira McCowan, Mississippi State
Aari McDonald, Arizona
Arike Ogunbowale, Notre Dame
Katie Lou Samuelson, UConn
Jessica Shepard, Notre Dame
Destiny Slocum, Oregon State
Alanna Smith, Stanford
Jackie Young, Notre Dame

No Anreil Howard? Whatever experts are participating in this WATCH must not be WATCHING any WBB games this year!
But McCowan is averaging more points and rebounds than Anriel.
Anriel has had better performances in the high-visibility games (Oregon, Marquette).
 
Eligibility requires more than just basketball skill.

You did see Sophie on that list and the Kentucky freshman who Anreil just made look like a freshman in the MSST game. Anreil belongs on any top 25 WBB player list IMHO!
 
Should be an interesting battle for the 5-person AA team. I don't watch nearly as much as some of the experts on this board, so anyone else in the running outside of these 11?
  • Kalani Brown, Baylor (Sr)
  • Kaila Charles, Maryland (Jr)
  • Napheesa Collier, UConn (Sr)
  • Asia Durr, Louisville (Sr)
  • Megan Gustafson, Iowa (Sr)
  • Sabrina Ionescu, Oregon (Jr)
  • Teaira McCowan, Mississippi State (Sr)
  • Arike Ogunbowale, Notre Dame (Sr)
  • Katie Lou Samuelson, UConn (Sr)
  • Jessica Shepard, Notre Dame (Sr)
  • Alanna Smith, Stanford (Sr)

No one likely. If I had to pick one sleeper, it would be Bridget Carleton. If Iowa State can continue to impress in Big 12 play and climb the rankings, she'll start to get some buzz. Averaging 20 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 4.5 apg. She does it all for them.

But still, it'll be awfully hard for an "outsider" to beat out 6 of those players. Right now I'd say Gustafson, Ionescu and Ogunbowale are virtual locks. Gotta think two of Collier, Lou, Brown, Durr, Smith and McCowan will likely be in as well.

Wondering....when was the last time we didn't have at least one player on this list?

The Wooden Award has been presented to women since 2003-04.

While there has never been a year where at least 1 player (generally more) from UConn didn't make the Pre Season list there have been 2 years were none made the Mid Season list.

In 2006-07 (Charde Houston made Pre-Season list)
In 2004-05 (Ann Strother and Barbara Turner made Pre Season list)

Good stuff!

You mean we were robbed 2 out of 3 consecutive years? :eek: :rolleyes:
