Much deserved!

She has a good chance to get both awards for the season. She really has been an outstanding addition to a team that is hard to stand out on. I really think when they play SC she will be the difference maker and if she can do that she can lead this team to a NC.

Sarah has earned both Honors by her hard work and brilliant play. MANY MORE TO COME! To me ,possible AA, first team. There is NO limit to what Sarah can accomplish in her career. GO SARAH!!!!!

She could possibly win conference DPOY as well.

I was thinking the other day about the possibility of Sarah making first team All American. When I started running thru names I concluded the first team would include Paige, Hildago, Watkins, and Betts, but for the 5th spot, I think Sarah is as deserving as anyone else.

National freshmen of the year is almost a given at this point IMO. By some overall statistical measures Sarah has even been better than Paige. When the number 1 rated recruit greatly exceeds expectations from the beginning, being one of the top players nationally regardless of class can happen.

I think Paige is special, but so is Sarah, and IMHO Sarah is playing better right now. Still, I think Paige is a lock based on history, momentum, and perception. I do think Sarah deserves 2nd team AA, however.
