Paige.. AP All American First Team

[ABCDFE]

Congrats to Paige! And I hope this gets CWill and ONO playing with that proverbial chip for the tournament.

Bring me the heads on a stake of the two who didn't have her first team! Assemble our mob at the capitol steps at noon.

Where is the poster that claimed that because of Hailey Van Lith and Clark, Paige will never be AA

Post aged well, don't you think?

Congratulations to Paige and all selectees. The "eye test" was spot on for this young lady, we knew after the first game!

You are correct @eebmg , BUT, the article does say... she "received 28 first-place votes from the national panel of 30 media members that vote each week in the AP Top 25 poll." This means no one not named "Paige" got more than 2 "first place" votes from the 30 media members. This makes Paige's selection that much more impressive...bodes well for NPOY selection as well.

Well Done!!!

That's not what it means. Each voter has 5 first place votes to cast.

Gotcha...Please see post #21 in this thread.
The ESPN news article on this AP All American Team says "first place"... and so do all the others I found on the Web... but one, the Idaho Statesmen, lists the players "First Place" votes (likely meant to be FIRST TEAM), and total points they received. Paige got the MOST First TEAM Votes and the highest POINT Total.

Congrats to all recipients. Owusu only getting 3rd team while Mcdonald and Collier make second is a puzzling choice, but otherwise I think voters did a good job.

Since we are all lazy old farts, it would be great if someone posted a link to the Idaho Statesmen article.

Bell Named AP Honorable Mention All-American - FGCU Athletics

FORT MYERS, Fla. --- Kierstan Bell, a sophomore forward on the No. 21/24 FGCU women's basketball team, has been named an Honorable Mention All-American by the Associated

Christyn Williams with honorable mentions

I would have maybe found a place for Rennia Davis, perhaps instead of Dungee, but that is nitpicking.

I am relieved they picked the correct Stanford player for recognition.

Too bad her incredible BE tournament performance was not considered in the voting

I am guessing Antonelli is one

You don't think that they didn't have her performance in the BE tournament in the back of their minds when they were voting?

 

[Happydad745]

Article does not say how many of the first team votes, the others received? Weird omission I think.

28 out of 30

I think I saw him out back, eating what looked like his hat.

Are you sure it was a hat and not some crow?

The other first teamers, not Paige

I am happy that Kianna Williams will get the opportunity to demonstrate her AA skills in the upcoming tournament. In my mind, she is a top 5 AA. She just happens to play on a team so deep in talent, that her skills are not always on display each and every game. Like PB, this kid is money.

The Idaho one had it at one point, but I can’t see it now. Dana had 25, Howard and Smith had 16 and Boston was somewhere in between.

Antonelli - that's too funny!!! ?

I'll go out and check again.

AP All American does not qualify Paige for the Husky Wall of Honor. Only the WBCA All American Team qualifies a player for the Wall of Honor. I suspect Paige will get the WBCA Award sometime this week.

Matches M. Moore as quickest ever to qualify for the Wall. She really is a Bucket.
