Jones is going to return next year as a super senior, so maybe.Joens from Iowa State?

Well, you are doing AP which is 5 players per team. The WBCA has ten players. For the AP, you can't leave out Haley Jones. I would go with Boston, Bueckers, Morrow and Clark also. For WBCA, I would add Cameron Brink to repeat and also Joens, and leave the 3 remaining spots open based on performance.Here's my take....
Paige Bueckers
Aliyah Boston
Caitlin Clark
Azzi Fudd
Aneesah Morrow

Good list I think you over value Miles and undervalue Kitley. Don't see a transfer making AA noise at a new destination in the first year so that would eliminate Owusu , Jackson and Reese. Ashlon Jackson and or Kiki Rice definitely qualify as Keep an eye on material.1st Team:
Aliyah Boston
Caitlin Clark
Paige Bueckers
Haley Jones
Olivia Miles
2nd Team:
Aneesah Morrow
Angel Reese (wherever she lands)
Cameron Brink
Diamond Miller
Ashley Joens
3rd Team:
Ashley Owusu (wherever she lands)
Rori Harmon
Ayoka Lee
Elizabeth Kitley
Monika Czinano
Players to keep an eye on:
Jordan Horston
Azzi Fudd
Hailey Van Lith
Diamond Johnson
Deja Kelly
Zia Cooke
Rickea Jackson
Leigha Brown
Mackenzie Holmes
Grace Berger
Taylor Mikesell
Jaci Sheldon
Madi Williams
Maddy Siegrist
Taylor Robertson (should obliterate Kelsey Mitchell's 3pt record)
I think ND will be stronger next year and still see Virginia Tech in the 20-25 range which is why I put Miles above Kitley. It's hard to make the top 2 AP AA teams if you're not on a top 10 team unless you have insane numbers.Good list I think you over value Miles and undervalue Kitley.

I forgot about Lexie. I recently did a scrub of transfers that became AA at the new school and only came up with Elena Delle Donne and Chelsea Dungee. That's because I only used WBCA AAs and Lexie was AP AA.I think ND will be stronger next year and still see Virginia Tech in the 20-25 range which is why I put Miles above Kitley.

Reese/Owusu were both AAs at Maryland so I think they could follow suit at their new programs, but obviously it depends on where they end up and how good their teams are. To your point, I cant think of any transfers who were AA day 1 at their new program besides Lexie Brown, who coincidentally was also an AA at Maryland previously.

Even as a sophomore she was Regional MOP and All Tournament team, and AP HM AA even if she probably shouldn't have been included on the AP teamI think Paige's All American frosh year is worthy of writing the accolades, not just 2022 awards.
It's the off-season. This is how we keep ourselves entertained.Random thought of the day, but shouldn't we wait to see where everyone lands before we predict this? I mean if player X goes to School Y... they might have a completely different season than if they went to school W. Opportunities, other teammates, coaches can all have an impact on who becomes and All American or not. What would happen if Clark was at UCONN with Bueckers? Would she have the stats she has? Would Paige have a ton more assist? The unknown makes this all too difficult to really figure out.
A lot of you seem to know things... or at least pretend to very well. Hows about we fill the time by talking about the portal... who would be best, who is interested, who is interested in other places, etc. Seems like since CT went to NC, we are struggling for good news, especially on the recruiting trail. Where can we find out about what is happening? Help a brother out....It's the off-season. This is how we keep ourselves entertained.
