Its first and second team I believe

I am guessing no. Only because the article stated that Aaliyah is a repeat second team pick. If her selection was not enough last year, well...

She’ll have to be chosen as 1 of 10 WBCA All-Americans.

Past Teams - NCAA Division I

*Eastman Kodak Company became the first corporate sponsor of collegiate women’s basketball in 1975, sponsoring the first women’s basketball coaches clinic in conjunction with the AIAW championship and the the first-ever Kodak All-America team. The latter was the first All-America team selected...

That is impressive to have two of the best 10 players in the country on one team. To me AE has been one of the best players in UConn history even though she hasn't been a first team AA yet. She has been the one constant on the team since she arrived (I guess Nika too) that has led to UConn's success. I really enjoy watching her play, she really looks like she loves the game and plays it at a super high level.

Did she finish her college degree? I remember Geno used to have a policy about that

 

[Geew1992]

I don’t think she’s graduated yet. Last I heard she was still working towards it

 

[MSGRET]

The reason why is that she needs to finish her college degree. That is a requirement for inclusion to the Huskies of Honor.

I would think it counts since they list it in the Media Guide (along with WBCA and AP).

But as someone else posted you also have to graduate. Not sure she did.

Edwards was 3rd team last year.

Edwards was 3rd team last year.

Thanks, I read the article before I posted and when it said repeat, I just took it to mean 2nd team.

 

[PJCLaw]

Nope, only 1st team...USBWA, WBCA, or AP.

Perhaps Caitlin lobbied for a good old-fashion Iowa 6 on 6 team?

 

[MilfordHusky]

That's the WBCA, I think.
