Returning All-Americans

[Vowelguy]

Besides the 3-to-see, the All-American teams were dominated by Juniors, with almost no Soph or Frosh.
WBCA Coaches (C) and Wooden (W) have just one team, while AP has 1st (A1)-3rd (A3) and Honorable Mention (Ah)

'14 Sims ........ A1 - C - W
'14 Chiney ...... A1 - C - W

'15 KML ......... A2 - C
'14 AThomas ..... A2 - C
'14 CGrey ....... A2 - C
'14 MLucas ...... A2

'14 McBride ..... A3 - C
'14 Dolson ...... A3 - C
'15 EWilliams ... A3
'14 Simmons ..... A3

'14 Achonwa ..... Ah ________ '14 Chrstfrsn_ISU .. Ah
'14 BrandonCAL .. Ah ________ '14 TMarshall_GaT .. Ah
'14 Banham_MN ... Ah ________ '14 Ellenberg_OKL .. Ah
'14 Hooper_NEB .. Ah ________ '14 Plouffe_UTAH ... Ah
'14 Bias_OKST ... Ah ________ '14 Rowe_MTSU ...... Ah
'14 JColey_FIU .. Ah ________ '14 Newsome_TN-MRT . Ah
=============================

I would think leading contenders for this year are:
Sims - KML - AThomas - TBS - Chiney for 1st team
with CGrey the top challenger

 

[John Glass]

That is not an All- American team............ Achonwa is from Canada

 

[EricLA]

Who is "TBS"? If you mean The Breanna Stewart, then I agree with your list for 1st team AA...

Yes, I'm adopting the moniker that the Husky press has given her.

Didn't Dolson get on the WBCA All-American team as well?

 

[Vowelguy]

Yes, thanks, corrected.

Well if your picking by position . Dolsen is the top Center. KML best shooter. Stewart is tops period and along with KML tops period. Sims from Baylor and A Thomas from MD will be close if Hartley comes back healthy. UConn could have 4 first team AAs. We will see how Morgan Tuck progresses. She maybe second or third team however if her outside shot is dropping she could be better. Saniya Chong could very well be the top freshman in WCBB. Something to think about. Saniya is ranked 75th in the polls. Sierra Cahhoun, Myisha Hines Allen, and Bianca Chevas are ranked ahead of her and Saniya was POY in NY. Think about that.

I liked the way Jewell Loyd played last year. If she shows some improvement I think she might be someone that could have a great year and be in the mix for AA. After all, she doesn't have Skylar, and someone will have to run that team.

Jewell is very good. If shes playing the point I will have to see how she does. Playing the point is a very tuff position to play especially when you as good of a shooter as Jewell is. I think you might see somebody else playing the point leaving Jewell to focus on getting open.

I am a believer that last years was last. I think UCONN will have the most AA on 1 team in country ever....5....

You've been here along time - I'm surprised you're surprised!

It is very unlikely that Loyd will run the point this year. Muffet has stated that the PG position will be some combination of Mabrey, Allen, and Holloway, although other players will bring the ball up occasionally. Loyd will be allowed to be Loyd. At least that's the plan!

Running the point can actually hurt someone's chance at AA honors. It really puts an enormous amount of stress on a player and great physical demands.

I'm not surprised that you are surprised that she was surprised that she was surprised.

Did you see the stats from the three overseas games? ND had way more turnovers than assists and the last two games I believe they had 25 in each game.

Lindsey Allen is the only true point on the roster and we all know how hard it is for freshman point guards.

If UConn goes undefeated and all starters Avg Double digits in points, then its possible UConn could get 5 AA on the WBCA All American Team. Do I think it will happen no, but if it does, I wouldn't be surprised. Team Already has three prior All Americans and and with no injuries, Breanna Stewart will also be one. Bria and Moriah will have the toughest time making All American this year.

Not surprised.... just can't see 5 players making AA teams, thats all...

I'm not sure but was Bria an AA on one of the teams her soph year?

My apologies. It has been corrected in original post.

No. Not possible.

 

[Wbbfan1]

The reason I think Bria will have trouble making All American is that I think most of points scored by this team will come from the front court players. Also I think there's more competition with guards to make All American.

I'm not sure but was Bria an AA on one of the teams her soph year?[/quote

I'm not surprised that you are surprised that she was surprised that she was surprised.

Nothing on here surprises me anymore.

That doesn't surprise me.
