Seems about right. Scott made 2nd team last year and folks forecasting her as 1st team this year. She had a good conference season with that streak of high percentage shooting. Will be delighted if she has the same level of improvement from soph to junior as she had from fresh to soph.

Joens was on the rookie team so honorable mention and chance to play her way to 2nd team seems reasonable. Seem like this team composition will give her ample opportunity.

Maybe we won't see our usual fan "outrage" at the preseason predictions.

Two at start of season on the list, by season end we should have three.

Too bad Maddie has to burn so much on D as I think it dampens her offensive output. A lot of high caliber talent and 2-3 WNBA starter level players on the preseason list. If I could add one player out of that list to to our roster it would be Vivian Gray of Oklahoma State-she plays the Iowa State way.
