Listening to Dan Patrick, he said we should pick a 12 member "all-star" team from the 63 teams in the NCAAs that are NOT UConn, and get those 12 players to go against UConn..... I laughed out loud, but it got me thinking.... So, I am sending out an invite to the "stellars" on this site.... Who are your 12 "All-Stars" ??
Danielle Adams Jayne Appel Glory Johnson Amanda Thompson Samantha Prahalis Kat Nash Nyeshia Stevenson Danielle Robinson Sydney Carter Nneka Ogwumike Britney Griner (pains me to say) Andrea Riley (pains me to say) I have no idea whether I have put together a well-balanced "team" here, nor do I believe I have represented even a tiny fraction of the 63 other teams (mostly cause I have not watched as many of them as I'd like). This is just off the top of my head.
You definitely need to throw Jantel Lavender in there...as well as Jasmine Thomas from Duke, especially with the way she performed against UCONN previously. Glory Johnson would not make my list. She has tons of athletic ability but has underperformed all year.
My dozen: PG Skylar Diggins, Norte Dame PG Samantha Prahalis, Ohio State C Kelley Cain, Tennessee C Jayne Appel, Stanford PF Nnemkadi Ogwumike, Stanford F Kayla Pedersen, Stanford G Brittany Rayburn, Purdue F Kat Nash, Texas F Alysha Clark, Middle Tenn G Tanisha Smith, Texas A&M G Kevi Luper, Oral Roberts G Melissa Jones, Baylor
