The best WCBB Players in History for Each Uniform Number.

[CTtoSanDiego]

Lots of info and opinion on here. Huskies grab 5 spots. Paige will need to beat out Theresa Edwards when her career is over to gain a spot. Did you know that there are apparently only 37 jersey numbers allowed in WCBB?

The best player in women's college basketball history at every jersey number

From Diana Taurasi at No. 3 to Sabrina Ionescu at No. 20 and to Val Whiting at No. 52, we rank the best all-time women's players by jersey number.

I was wondering why they didn’t include some numbers

well numbers ending in 6-9 aren't allowed.. Beyond that, what other numbers did they omit?

Where have I been? Lol I didn’t know numbers 6-9 aren’t available lol

Got to use 5 fingers on each hand to signal fouls so 0-5 plus 0-5 so 6x6=36 plus 00

Interesting list and fun to remember and compare players - the list is based on college, but including pro and USA info in their summaries muddies the water a little bit.

 

[j66kicker]

Holdsclaw over Maya for #23. I didn’t read any further.

That makes sense

Collegiately they have very comparable resumes but Mique has 3 rings to Maya's 2.

 

[triaddukefan]

I have an issue with #20

 

[BrianUC]

That's a lazy way to judge players in a team sport.

...did you ever actually watch Holdsclaw in college? She's unquestionably among the best collegiate players of all time.

Holdsclaw over Maya for #23. I didn’t read any further.

Agreed. That's the one that got me. Holdsclaw was great. But she wasn't Maya.

Maya was either first or second for player of the year for all four of her seasons.

 

[DEpup]

The Maya Moore snub was unforgivable.

I was disappointed that we didn't see Asja Jones, Morgan Tuck, Bria Hartley, or Kelly Faris. If they were going to mention Ann Strother then why not these players with multiple titles.

So what’s your rebuttal?

 

[bballnut90]

Yep, and you could pull Holdsclaw numbers/facts and make a very compelling case that favors her too. They're two of the best collegiate players ever. It's like when this board debates between Maya/Stewart/DT for best UCONN player ever. There isn't much separating the top tier players and as a result, there usually isn't a consensus. For the top players you can make a compelling case for each being the best of the best depending on what you value, whether it be stats, titles, leading a team with less talent, awards, etc.

 

[UcMiami]

Haven't dared check the Vols site - I am sure they are disputing the #3 - just more Uconn Bias at ESPN (you know ESPN is located in CT - nuff said! )

Asjha's in there, 'bout halfway through the list for #15

I think the players are listed in reverse chronological order. The ones who were really good are included in the narrative.

I was disappointed that Superwoman, Gabby Williams, wasn't listed under #15.

They did say that if you consider WNBA, Maya would be the greatest.

I think Holdsclaw was one of the greatest collegiate players of all time. Almost certainly the greatest of her time. Moore is one of the greatest players of Women's Basketball. I don't think it was a snub.

30.
'No one will out-do Stewart, who was Final Four most outstanding player four times in leading UConn to four championships. She averaged 17.6 points and 7.8 rebounds in her Huskies career. Now with the Seattle Storm, she has won the WNBA's MVP award, two league titles and an Olympic gold medal while still just 26 years old.'

Most of them I don't have a problem with. But Skylar Diggins over a point guard for four national champions?

Holdsclaw is my favorite Tennessee player and I dont have a problem with her being picked over Maya. She could play any position on the floor if needed. She won 3 NCs and beat an undefeated UConn team to win one of those Championships!

On reflection, I think the article split the baby with numbers 3 and 23, giving one to a UConn great and the other to a Tennessee great.

Guessing they have more pressing concerns.
