Paige.. AP All American First Team

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.

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

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

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?

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 other first teamers, not Paige

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.

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.

Does this first team for Paige and second team for Clark suggest that Paige has the inside track for both player of the year and freshman of the year?

The WBCA honors are usually announced at the FF.

First off, congrats to Paige and the others. What an incredible achievement. To me, and yes this is all subjective, but it’s inconceivable that any voter who claims objectivity would leave Paige off as 1st team. I would love to hear the rationale, which would be a direct comparison of that other player to Paige, stats and team accomplishments. Also might have a little bit of that ‘hate UCONN’ syndrome which was referred to in that Big East postgame presser.

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.

Agree-

I don't get the hype for McDonald. She is a volume shooter and I've never seen her play a good game against a quality opponent.

Thanks for the link. Looks like Clark, Dungee and Williams got a combined 6 1st team votes. 2 of the voters must have thought one of them more worthy than Paige. Hard to fathom. Also, how often is the top rated WNBA prospect not on the 1st team. Frankly I wonder if Collier was really deserving of 2nd team.

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

Post in thread 'Will Hailey Van Lith and Iowa's Caitlin Clark beat out Paige for first team AA during her four years.'
