UConn’s Sarah Strong wins The Athletic’s Freshman of the Year

This year’s freshman class was one of the most accomplished in recent memory, even before playing a single collegiate game. Entering the 2024-25 season, these freshmen included a 2024 Olympian and the leading scorer on the 2023 U-19 World Cup gold medalist squad. Throughout the season, another...

First team - Watkins, Betts, Hidalgo, Booker, Latson
Second team - Bueckers, Strong, Blakes, Morrow, Miles

AA team voting can be somewhat subjective, and with that many really good guards this year, who would you replace on the first team for Paige? I am extremely happy that Latson is getting noticed. It is what it is, and as many of you know, individual accolades are not UConn team goals.

Stats per game [points, rebounds, assists, fg%]
Watkins: 24.4, 6.7, 3.6, 42.9 Bueckers: 18.6, 4.5, 5.0, 53.4
Betts: 19.7, 9.9, 2.7, 62.4 Strong: 16.1, 7.9, 3.4, 58.4
Hidalgo 24.2, 5.3, 3.8 46.4 Blakes: 23.3, 3.5, 3.1, 46.4
Booker: 16.0, 6.5, 2.9, 46.4 Morrow: 18.2, 14.0, 1.4, 48.5
Latson: 25.4, 4.5, 4.7, 45.8 Miles: 16.5, 6.5, 5.9, 50.9

Strong by the numbers is in every category better than Booker. An argument could be made that any of the second team could replace Booker. If all stats weighed equally, then Morrow would be a slamdunk 1st teamer.
