Sophia Young, the leading scorer on Baylor's national championship team
last season, was chosen by Big 12 coaches on Tuesday as the league's
preseason player of the year.
The 6-foot-1 guard averaged 18.4 points and 9.3
rebounds as
the Bears went 33-3 and won the Big 12 and national titles. Sophia
Young finished third in the conference in scoring and third in
rebounding.
Nebraska guard Kiera Hardy, Oklahoma forward Leah Rush, Texas forward
Tiffany Jackson and Texas Tech guard Erin Grant join Sophia Young on
the preseason all-Big 12 team.
Kiera Hardy, who averaged 19 points last season, is the
league's top returning scorer. Sophia Young is second, Tiffany Jackson
(18.3) is third and Leah Rush (15.5) is fourth. Erin Grant led the Big
12 with 7.03 assists per game last season.
Kansas' Shaquina Mosley, a 5-6 guard who had led Central
Arizona Community College to the junior college national championship
last season, was named the league's preseason newcomer of the year and
Oklahoma's Courtney Paris, a 6-4 centre from Piedmont (Calif.) High
School, was named the freshman of the year.
