Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2060180, member: 6927"] I don't know offhand how often 3 UConn players have made AA in the same year, but I also sense that it's unlikely this year — not impossible, but unlikely — for two main reasons: [LIST=1] [*]Last year's team was arguably the most dominant ever in the history of WCBB. And although this year's team is undefeated, there's more of a sense that the playing field is more level compared to last year. [*]UConn's three candidates for All-American are all underclassmen and would be first-time AAs. History shows that AA voters show a strong inclination toward (a) previous AAs, and (b) seniors. [/LIST] In fact, combining the above two reasons with the fact that there's no obvious pecking order among UConn's top 3, I wouldn't be shocked if only one UConn player made it, because even though many if not most voters will vote for at least two UConn players, the "UConn vote" might get diluted by the "parity," if you will, among the UConn candidates.
