wBB: Top-25 Players in '21-'22 - TheFarm07 - 04-29-2021
ESPN released a Top-25 College Basketball Players for next season (https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/31352172/women-college-basketball-top-25-players-2021-22):
Jones is #5 and Brink is #14:
Jones: Stanford doesn't win a national championship earlier this month without Jones. She hit the difference-making shot in the NCAA title game against Arizona, and her performance in the final two games -- 20.5 PPG and 6.0 RPG -- was as brilliant as it was clutch. Able to play any one of four positions, the versatile Jones put her scoring on display just when the Cardinal needed it. She stood out on a team loaded with talent, and the expectations are that will continue for two more seasons.
Brink: The numbers aren't gaudy, but the NCAA tournament illustrated just how close Brink could be to becoming a full-fledged star. The offense is developing, but Brink's defense has already arrived. Propelled by outstanding mobility and an extensive wingspan, she was second in the country in block shot percentage, according to Her Hoop Stats. That rim protection was a vital piece to both of Stanford's one-point wins in the Final Four. Brink blocked a combined nine shots against South Carolina and Arizona and impacted many more.
Baylor's NaLyssa Smith is #1
Three other Pac-12 players made the list:
WSU's Charlisse Leger-Walker at #17, Charisma Osborne from UCLA right behind her at 18 and the Buffaloes' Mya Hollingshed at #22 (though the way she performed against us Tara might have her higher on the list)

And a lot of our more exciting offensive plays last season involved one of them passing to the other!
