She was the only player on the AA first team that was not a unanimous choice.
How in the crap was she not unanimous and yet all other four players were.
BS.

I understand where your coming from, but I could see how some writers could/would make an argument for Kalani Brown.

It's not really a snub. It means at least one person thinks Kalani Brown is better; that's not that crazy. The majority still had T ahead obviously.

It also means they think the other 4 are probably the 4 best players in the country, slotting T 5th. Again, not that crazy. It's still a huge honor for her.

It's ESPN, not a big deal.

I'm not familiar with a some of those players, but I'd pick Sophie Cunningham every day and twice on Saturday. She is a complete basketball player, very good team player.

Arike Ogunbowale should be 1st team.

She is a gamer. She plays with that Marshall Henderson attitude. That's the type of players you want though. You love them and everybody else hates them.

Sophie is nothing like Marshall Henderson...

She's a little volatile, but nothing like Henderson. He was just a total jerk.

I think Sophie is the complete team player who her teammates like and respect.

Ms Larry Bird she is.

Presumably Katie Lou would be one of the top 5 had she not been injured?

She was able to piss some of our fan base off worse than Henderson ever could. Couldn't understand why, she was playing hard and getting under people's skin. The best players have that ability. Also, she ain't bad to look at.

Because they beat us.

She was injured in their last regular season game, just missed the AAC Tournament. I would imagine she didn't make it simply because it was the worst shooting year of her career. She was very good this year, not great.

Exactly, maybe some similarities on court, but how many times has Sophie ever been dismissed from her team or had a brush with the law? Sophie is just a tough nosed competitor but doesn't belong in the same sentence with Henderson.

Sophie is crafty with drawing contact and physical. Some of her stuff is a little shady, but she doesn't let herself get out of control. She is a leader on the court, and her team follows her.

I get it, but if we got a 1st team AA from ESPN, given who works there, that is VERY HIGH PRAISE. Well done Big T!

They voted her 1st team AA. "Snub" is a huge stretch.

Well, Ole Miss didn't have a great season, so I imagine they held that against her.
