Wonder who the nitwit is that didn’t vote her 1st or 2nd team. Same idiot that didn’t vote her rookie of the year?

Holy Franisdanarc Twitter dump!!

Guess without being able to use Ava Jones for clicks he is getting desperate for attention.

 

[Franisdaman]

Apparently some think Sabrina should have been 1st team instead.

The first version of the tweet had the wrong teams logo above Wilson.

They fixed that, and then realized that nobody named Cailtin was on the team.

(Was the joke in my first post in this thread that seemed to be missed )

Well done Caitlin! We are all very proud of you.

So, now that her first season is done, what do we Hawkeye fans think she did as far as expectations for this season? Met them, exceeded them? I can’t see too many people saying she was lower than expected.

For me, I would say she exceeded them. I wouldn’t have guessed that she would have been first team all WNBa her first year before the season started. ROTY, yes. The good thing for us, this will probably be her worst season for years to come.

Exceeded expectations.

* After their 1-8 start, I didn't see a 19-12 finish coming.

* I didn't expect her to trail only Collier, Wilson & Stewart when it came to the All-WNBA teams.

* I think we all knew she'd break some records but I didn't see her breaking what seemed like every record that they keep.

reality is coming... in her 2nd year.

and she's already regarded as the 4th best player in the WNBA (based on the voting); so much for there being "levels to this thing."
