Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2409161, member: 6927"] Great stuff. This team is going to be something special. The expectations are merited, but I also hope that we can temper our greediness just enough to enjoy the process of watching them grow and get better over the course of a difficult schedule. Let the fun and excitement begin. I do feel compelled to indulge one bit of fact-checking minutia: "The loaded Huskies boast 3 returning 1st team AA’s out of 4 returning starters ...". Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm aware of three entities that select All-American teams: the AP, the WBCA, and the USBWA. The AP selects a first, second, and third team of 5 members each. The WBCA and USBWA select a single 10-member team. Gabby was selected AP Second Team and was included in both the WBCA and USBWA 10-member teams. So while we can certainly claim to have three returning All-Americans, only two of them are "first team" (by the AP). [/QUOTE]
