Indeed Pederson was a rock.  She averaged 30 minutes a game as a frosh, which was even more than older teammate Appel and second only to Wiggins.  12.6 ppg, 8.4 ppg and she shot .497.  I actually thought that in some ways her frosh year was her best year, since it was before Nneka arrived and Kayla could be used in the 4 position, which was much more natural for her than the 3.  Next year, we could use Beebe, McCall, and/or Johnson to generate numbers like that!

Hoopgurlz rated Kayla 4th overall, by the way, behind Maya Moore, Angie Bjorklund, and Jantel Lavendar.  Not bad company.  It does seem that Hoopgurlz was right about Kayla in 2007.
