I had to pull JJ Hones from the list after it sunk in that the 4th year student red shirted last season and has one more year of eligibility remaining.

MIA: They all stick.

No movement in the list, but Kalana Greene would have slipped to number three this week behind Simpson were I tracking her at the forward slot.

MIA: They all stick.

The top players swap spots. After watching Smith play this week I considered moving her to Center, but decided to keep watching her here as a likely Power Forward consideration in the WNBA. Sweat continues her inconsistent play and drops from the list this week.

MIA: Ashley Sweat(Kansas State)

I took Amber Harris off the list as an astute reader pointed out she is a red shirt Junior this season. Jenna Smith qualified as #2 on this list as well, while Jacinta Monroe would have been #4.


MIA: Harris' exit leaves me with only 5 senior centers to track. I may have to consider moving either Monroe or Smith over to this position.

You seem to have left off at least a couple of players, namely Nneka Ogwumike, power forward, and Kayla Petersen, "small" forward (she's 6'4") at Stanford. These two are each averaging nearly 20 points and 9 rebounds a game at the #2 team in the country (#1A according to Coach Doug Bruno of dePaul).

Pederson is a junior, I will be tracking her next year, while Ogwumike is a sophomore who I will be tracking in two years. Believe me, my eyes are on that stocked Stanford team this year.

I shouldn't be tracking Hones either since she is technically a junior after redshirting. I will have to remedy that.
