Welp, that cinches it: She's gone!

Way to find the black cloud in the silver lining!
You couldn't enjoy for just one day!

So very happy about Moriah winning defensive player of the year! She is very deserving of the honor.
I wonder if she is the shortest winner every?!

 

[UcMiami]

Just checked Lindsey Harding won in 2007 at 5'8" and Jennifer Risper in 2009 at 5'9" otherwise it is all centers - Sylvia, Stef, Brittany, and Elizabeth last year.

So Moriah at 5'7" listed height is likely the shortest.

Morgan got WBCA AA

Stewart just won her second Wade trophy.

And she's only the fifth player to win it more than once. The others: Nancy Lieberman, Seimone Augustus, Maya Moore, and Brittney Griner. That's some pretty elite company. Maya is the only 3-time winner.

As Chair of the National Defensive Player of the Year, I'm proud our committee voted Moriah Jefferson this year's winner. Congrats!

Just mildly ironic that the big proponent for better offense is chair of the defensive POY committee

Great young lady. Nobody more deserving.

WBCA All-Americans:
UConn's Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson, Morgan Tuck;
South Carolina's A'ja Wilson;
South Florida's Courtney Williams;
Oregon State's Jamie Weisner;
Ohio State's Kelsey Mitchell;
Baylor's Nina Davis;
Notre Dame's Brianna Turner;
Washington's Kelsey Plum.

Congratulations to Brianna Turner, her family and the Notre Dame Women's Basketball program. After seeing her play during her freshman year, it was evident she was going to be great. On several occasions the last two years, I predicted that she would be an All-American by the end of her "junior" year. I didn't need any of my soothsaying aids (crystal ball, tarot cards, snake oil, rabbit's feet, tea leaves etc.) to see that one. That was easy. I was a year off on my prediction. I didn't think she would develop as quickly as she obviously has.

Now, I'm going to take it a step further. Carnac predicts that Turner will be a first round draft choice in the WNBA after her senior year. That's a prediction I didn't have to step too far out on a limb to make.

Congratulations to ALL of this year's All-America award winners.

Congratulations to Morgan, so proud of her and yes she made AA. Stewie Wade winner and Mo the Jet defensive player of the year. Lets finish the deal, Go UConn.

Yeah Gus, you're really a buzz kill. Your timing is horrible.

 

[msf22b]

Really Heartwarming news
I was so worried about how Morgan might react to her omission.
Richly deserved.
Hip-hip....

Congrats to Courtney as well
Wonderful kid
Fierce competitor.

The mods finally caught up with you, you #$$@%%^&
Actually - there have been a few weird things popping up when I do replies the last 24 hours. It usual has actually gone through and occasionally I have double posted and have to delete the second on.

Welp, that cinches it: She's gone!

Not necessarily.
There's the little matter of 5 (count-em) National Championship rings...
Nobody will ever do that (again).

 

[msf22b]

Just checked Lindsey Harding won in 2007 at 5'8" and Jennifer Risper in 2009 at 5'9" otherwise it is all centers - Sylvia, Stef, Brittany, and Elizabeth last year.

So Moriah at 5'7" listed height is likely the shortest.

And if they acknowledged her correct height (mentioned on air this week) it would be even more remarkable

 

[Gus Mahler]

Yeah Gus, you're really a buzz kill. Your timing is horrible.

Welp, it was intended to be tongue-in-cheek. I am of course delighted for her.

 

[Carnac]

LOL, UConn will win almost all the awards this year,
including best loyalty fan group: The Boneyard

There ya go Kaizen. THAT'S an award we can ALL raise a glass to.

People are getting me confuse. I am so glad she made it in.

But why did some of these other posts say she didn't make it a couple of days ago? Really confusing I tell ya.

Congratulation Tuck.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Morgan made the coaches' team (WBCA) not the sports writers' team (USBWA).

 

[MilfordHusky]

This is THREE 1st Team All-Americans from the same recruiting class, not just the same team. I think it's unprecedented.

In any case, Geno, CD, et al. did a great job of recruiting and coaching these guys up.

 

[WackyJack]

She's in!

Finally Morgan gets some well deserved recognition! What makes this even better is the recognition comes from the Women Basketball Coaches. Also congratulations to Breanna and Moriah. Once again, congratulations Morgan, Breanna, and Moriah on you well deserved awards!

 

[baggerbob]

Just one unfinished task left for the greatest recruiting class in history, we need a Final Four for the ages from Stewie, Moriah, and Morgan.
