Another pre-season AA team, this one from College Sports Madness.

I still wonder if these writers actually keep up with injuries, etc. Brianna Turner of Norte Dame is listed as a first team F when she will not play this season due to injury. I would have put Kalana Brown of BU in her place, maybe even if Turner was playing. Brown is probably the best C in the nation based on her play last season.

Big 12 has BU's Brown on the second team, Brooke on the third team and Tynice Martin of WVU on the fourth team.

Congrats to all the Big 12 players that received mention on this preseason team. Looking to having a few more make the post season AA team. http://www.collegesportsmadness.com/article/15211

 

Hard to put much stock in this if they don't even know Turner is out for the year. That information has been out for a quite awhile. I agree with you that Turner is not the best post in the country at all, even if she were playing. The rest of it looks reasonable, but I think Ariel could have been on there somewhere. Asia Durr sounds really good from her numbers. Maybe should have been higher? I personally think Thomas from FSU is a bit overrated.
