Jenna Brown is now one of the 5 finalist for the HS Naismith award

Awesome to hear! I'm having a hard time finding prior finalists and only finding past winners. Our last one was Chiney. Have we had any finalists since? I'm assuming since Kiana Williams was named to the second team when the final trophy awards were announced last year, that that means she was a semi-finalist but not a finalist? Hopefully this means her #20 ESPNW ranking was an underranking due to her having to sit out last season with an injury. I remember that at one point in time she was a top ten recruit.

Yes, that's fantastic news. Maybe that will mean she can come in next fall and push for a starting role or at least significant minutes early on. A backcourt of Williams and Brown could be spectacular over the next 3 years.

You think in this day and age, looking up past finalists of a national, well-known award would not be so difficult. You think the Atlanta Tipoff Club (I think the organization that gives out the award) would provide that information more readily on their website.
