Surprised that Madison Booker didn’t make the list since she was the first Freshman in history to win Big 12 Player of the Year (and of course Big 12 Freshman of the Year over Audi Crooks). She was also the Big 12 Tournament MOP. She was one of three Freshman (with Watkins & Hidalgo) as a SemiFinalist for National Player of the Year. All this playing out of position moving from Forward to PG when Rori Harmon got hurt.
She was next on my list, but it's top 5, not top 6! Crooks is dominating right now. She scores more, has more rebounds, and has a higher shooting percentage. She's a force!
Booker is not even playing her position. She had to change to point guard in December. She is doing something most players would not be capable of doing. She still became Big 12 player of the year and an All American. So she is definitely in the top five, if not number one.
I agree with the 5 selected players, but I would add Madison Booker of Texas Longhorns. After Rory Harmon went down Booker stepped in a now Texas has a 1# seed in 2024 NCAA tournament.
I’m sure there others that missed the list, if the freshman are taking over the basketball already. The veteran WNBA players may need to start retiring to make room for the fresh players.
I am amazed at how many people look at stats only. America always wants to individualize everything! South Carolina is the only team undefeated in the nation with NO ONE having stats near the top. It's because they play team ball!!! Every player on that team can have big numbers if they played on a team that lets them shoot alot and play 30 minutes a game! Many top 100 players will not like playing for them because they want to be the shining stars not understanding SC players still shine- all of them!
Good players take a lot of shots. Anyone on South Carolina can have a 30 ball any day of the week, they have to share the ball or the system wouldn’t work. I still think that South Carolina will be upsetted.
No doubt. But it is as it is. Fulwiley would have better numbers but that's on her. Dawn had to sit her down to focus her. She may be showtime but Dawn is not about that. Dawn is tryin to win a Natty. Did you see in the LSU game right after Fulwiley gave HVL the "Too Small" sign Dawn sat her down. As awesome a player as Fulwiley is she actually could be better if she would focus. Dawn has done a masterful job handling all that talent and minutes. It makes SC omni dimensional and very hard to scout. Just so you know I'm not biased I'm a Zoe Brooks/Wolfpack fan.
Dawn is arguably the one of the best basketball coaches, hands down. Men or women. I like how she coaches - no nonsense and keeps them grounded. At the same time, she can't handle losing gracefully. Although she doesn't lose often, so maybe that's the problem! Haha
Ju Ju is a beast in the system shes in and could play anywhere but Mikayla Williams is equal in a lot harder system and competition level.Those are my top 2 Hidalgo is shearly outstanding all of them will help bring NCAAW to an entire another level.
Juju and Hanna are the BEST players on their teams. Mikayla is not the best player on LSU. If you take her off the squad they would still be ranked. Juju has beaten teams at the top of the rankings. LSU has only 2 quality wins. VT and Tenn. And there is no way in creation the SEC is better overall than the Pac12. And I'm a Wolfpack fan.
All are great and doing well but I’ll take the forward in Maddy Booker who had to move to the point early in the season on short notice. Then went on to become co-player of the year in the Big 12, which has never been done before by a freshman.
Never did I say Booker isn't a great Freshman - she is great! Top 10 no doubt. Just didn't make my top 5. Can't deny the dominance of my top 5. But again, my channel, my opinion!
How does it look for next year? Is it as good as this year? We did get freshman that played like seniors already and can’t wait for their sophomore years.

Looking at the NCAA Tourney, do you still feel she is top 5 the way Audi Crooks played? I think I made the right call, just wondering your opinion.
And saying she is #1 is the biggest stretch when JuJu Watkins exists!

Yes👏

What do you think Fulwiley’s states look like if the played like the others all game long?
No doubt. But it is as it is. Fulwiley would have better numbers but that's on her. Dawn had to sit her down to focus her. She may be showtime but Dawn is not about that.

@@sidelinesportstoday Ok and I stated my opinion.
Dude you forgot the best freshman of all Madison Booker 🤘HOOK EM HORNS🤘💯
She's a great player, no doubt, but I'm no dude. And, not everyone can make the top 5! Luckily, it's my channel, my opinion!
She is in that mode!!!
How does it look for next year? Is it as good as this year? We did get freshman that played like seniors already and can’t wait for their sophomore years.
Yes, I have heard some great HS players that are coming next year! Can't wait!
