Naismith candidates midterm--who belongs? Who doesn't?

If Morgan is perceived as a top 10 player nationally, she qualifies as WBCA AA and thus also qualifies for the Huskies of Honor wall as a result. Bria's 2012 WBCA status and KML getting the same recognition in 2013 got them both on the Wall in their respective senior days/nights.

If Morgan gets WBCA AA and stays, she'd get on the wall next year on Senior Day/Night. If, however, she leaves for the WNBA after this season, Uconn will find a way to add her to the wall. Could be during an NC celebration, some small event next season, whatever. They'll just have to get creative.

It seems that the voters (pundits, some coaches, etc.) realize that UConn can not be defeated ON THE COURT. So they do the next best thing (in their minds) and subjectively choose players from other teams to overshadow UConn. IMO LLoyd was chosen in that vein, Mitchell for SC, and I am sure other posters can think of more.

They should create another award called "The Non UConn Player Of The Year" or NUPOY. This way the rest of the bunch can fight it out with sort of an asteric * and the winner can still feel good and UConn won't be hated so much. Then the POY will only go to a UConn player.

None of the Tenn players are in the list... LOL
