Does anyone have a list of just the players who have been named a Kodak All-American all four years? I was reading through a year-by-year list and I counted Tamika Catchings, Chamique Holdsclaw, Cheryl Miller, Lynette Woodard, and Anne Meyers.

Yep. Did you also use google?

She has become just the sixth player in women¹s basketball history to receive this honor all four years of her career.

Looks like you only missed Latoya Thomas, from Mississippi State University. That note was under the 2003 team.

Thanks swok. I completely missed that.

I haven't watched enough LSU games this season to be able to judge, so can someone tell me why Augustus was considered such a clear choice over Wecker as POY? Certainly the stats don't seem to back that up. What, exactly, has Augustus done that Wecker supposedly has not? (Yes, I know there's one obvious answer: lead her team to the Final Four. Is that it?)

[swok34]

dem....

In the games I've watched of LSU.....

where Augustus goes, thus goes LSU. She has an incredible amount of natural talent, extremely gifted athlete. Now, she did have a talented cast around her with senior PG Temeka Johnson and extraordinary freshmen Sylvia Fowles. There are many that are not too shabby.....Hoston, excellent defensive stopper.

But, like I said....where Augustus goes, thus goes LSU. I've been amazed at how some of the shots she takes go in the basket.

Then, of course, the better your team does.........the better you do.

Augustus also plays amazing defense...when her shot isn't going in she's still hustling and makes things happen on both ends of the court.

Before the tournament she was averaging 20 ppg and 54.7% shooting.

She can take the defender off the dribble or pull up in their face...she is simply amazing.
