Message: [QUOTE="RSHERMVIKES, post: 3761580, member: 2251"] I am a stat guy! But stats don't tell the whole story of every athlete! For example, the late Thurman Munson cannot get enough Hall of Fame votes because "they" say he didn't play long enough or his stats don't measure up to Catchers in the Hall of Fame! Which is false! But IMHO the MOST IMPORTANT credential any player needs to gain entry into the HofF is, was he considered one of the elite players of his ERA? Which obviously Thurman was! He was a peer of Johnny Bench and Pudge Fisk that gained entrance into the HofF! Jim Rice was one of those players who finally got in! Mike Mussina was also an example of that bias but eventually got in! So using that reasoning to be an All-American in WCBB, was the player one of the Elite in Division I? Kia Nurse was an elite player but too many teammates of hers ALSO was among the elite and the unwritten rule is only 2 or 3 from any team can be selected an AA! So Kia wasn't named! Jamelle Elliott was in the same boat. Every one of the WBB people that voted for AA couldn't vote her AA because Lobo, Woltors, & Rizzotti were chosen ahead of Jamelle! If Anna has a truly GREAT season for UCONN, she should be a worthy of consideration for the AA team! A star on one of the best teams in WCBB should be eligible for AA! [/QUOTE]
