Charles, Moore AP All-Americans
UConn teammates Tina Charles and Maya Moore were named to the Associated Press first team All-American squad and were unanimous selections.
They were joined on the first team by Monica Wright of Virginia, Nebraska's Kelsey Griffin and Jantel Lavender of Ohio State.
It is the fourth time that UConn had two players on the AP All-American first team. Moore and Renee Montgomery were both chosen last season, Svetlana Abrosimova and Shea Ralph were first teamer in 2000 while Jennifer Rizzotti and Kara Wolters both made the first team in 1996.
Stanford's Nneka Ogwumike, Oklahoma State's Andrea Riley, Brittney Griner of Baylor, Jayne Appel of Stanford and Middle Tennessee State's Alysha Clark. On the third team were Oklahoma's Danielle Robinson, Duke's Jasmine Thomas, Victoria Dunlap of Kentucky, Xavier's Amber Harris and Elena Delle Donne of Delaware.
I should mention that I was one of the voters and my first team ballot consisted of Charles, Moore, Wright, Griffin and Ogwumike.

Jim,
Thank you so very much for being our connection to the Women. What a ride!!!
I trust you and your superiors understand that many, many of us are drawn to the Register by our intense interest in UConn sports, especially the basketball. Moreover, I trust that your superiors are fully aware that you have legion of loyal followers.
Setting my Championship euphoria aside for a moment, I can’t help wondering whether UConn is talking to Kelsey Bone now that she has formally withdrawn from South Carolina. We have some height in the incoming class; however, I don’t know that any of it comes close to replacing Tina. Kelsey may not be another Tina; but, she does seem to be athletic in Tina’s mold and she did have a very good freshman year. As I recall, Geno did try to recruit her.
Do you have any insight on it?
Thanks again for all you do for us fans.
I haven't checked up on the Kelsey Bone situation and it would be rather surprising if UConn pursued her. Usually when a kid goes somewhere else, the UConn coaches move on. Their focus is on trying to land a post or two out of the group of high school juniors with Elizabeth Williams, Kiah Stokes and Ally Malott at the top of UConn's wish list. Kelsey also made it rather clear that she did not appreciate the attention from the Connecticut media during the recruiting process so I plan on leaving her alone.
