Agree. To be part of such an elite class of women...she has won already ....something she will be proud of for a lifetime. Congrats Tiff!!

Tiff one of 15 finalists:

Nneka
Chiney
Griner
Prahalis
Tiff
Stricklen
Johnson (Miami)
Williams (Duke)
Williams (Miami)
Sims
Mathies (KY)
EDD
Thomas (MD)
Wojta
Diggins

No way Prahalis belongs on this list, especially with no Glory Johnson who is more deserving than Stricklen. This is an absurb mistake.

Quit hating on Prahalis. Is she not the Big Ten Player of the Year?

 

[Enigma64]

She wasn't on the Mid-season list... Congrats Tip!

 

[DaddyChoc]

Tiff is the BOMB.... and All-American

I don't know, and I don't care. It's a mediocre conference and she is one of the most over rated players in the country.

Congrats to Tiff. Because she made the final 15 here, she has a shot at the top 10 on a major AA list. That would get her name on the wall at Gampel. I'd be thrilled for her if that happens.

Actually, it it happens, I think the wall is the wrong place. Considering her great "floor" game, Tiff should get her name on a horizontal surface rather than a vertical surface. Her own spot on the hardwood would be really nice.

Hayes floor, Auriemma Court, Gampel Pavillion. Has a nice ring to it.

Firstly, congrats to Tiff. she totally deserves the honor of being named finalist.

secondly, no way does Johnson deserve to be on the list ahead of Prahalis. i may not like Sammy's game or 'tude, and laughed at the article on how she changed the game, but she's got loads of talent and a will to win. her numbers are substantially better than Johnson's across the board.

You talking about Glory Johnson right? At first I was thinking you were talking about Shenice Johnson.

Well, that "overrated" player will be drafted before Tiffany Hayes.

Yes, she is.

WNBA GM's have done stupid things before, so that is a possibility.
