Message: [QUOTE="ConwayGmck, post: 3460797, member: 10442"] Several strong freshman in the SEC this season, and Miss State's Rickea Jackson is right there at the top. USC's Gamecocks' Aliyah Boston will have obstacles in her way in fellow freshman Zia Cooke who leads the Gamecocks in scoring in conference play and has led the team in scoring overall at points this season. Right now Boston is tied with senior Kiki Herbert-Harrigan as the top scorers with 12.9 ppg, with Cooke falling to 3rd at 12.4 ppg. A strong resume on Boston's behalf would be her being 2nd overall regardless of class in the SEC in blocks per game and field goal %, and 3rd overall in rebounds per game, despite only averaging 23.9 minutes per game this season. That's another obstacle for Boston, as the Gamecock bench has played so well this season, that she's not required to stay on the floor for 30+ mpg - although her physical conditioning plays a role in that as well. I will be excited to see how well she performs next season with a full off-season strength & conditioning program under her belt... [/QUOTE]
