Saylor honored as part of SEC all-freshmen team

Saylor Poffenbarger was voted today to the Southeastern Conference all-freshmen team. I hope she's happy at Arkansas. She clearly has shown the talents that grabbed Geno's eye way back when.

Congrats, Saylor. Pretty decent year of playing and hoping for continued success at Arkansas.

I watched a bit of the Arkansas win over Missouri today and she has turned into a pretty good rebounder, playing close to the basket. Her 3 point shooting wasn't too good but she did dish out some assists.
She seemed pretty happy out there.

Glad to hear, but I wonder if she'll find any reason to smile tomorrow vs. the Gamecocks.

I hope not. We outrebounded them by over 50 last time we played. I would assume Gamecocks will put a body on her after every shot.

Saylor is struggling a bit with her offense, and you can tell it frustrates her. But her defense and rebounding have been major strengths.

I think she was a shoo-in earlier in the season for FotY in the SEC, but her limited offensive production (and the Hogs' mid-SEC swoon) let Flau'jae deservedly pass her for the recognition.

I always appreciate a player who is still significantly impacting their team even when the shots aren’t falling.

Flaujae has dealt with that too down the stretch this season with some brutal stretches shooting but made up for it with defense, rebounding and getting teammates involved.

Yes indeed. She has a pretty decent shooting stroke.
