A busy day for Maya
The awards starting coming in for UConn senior Maya Moore, who was named a State Farm All-American for the fourth time and then moments later became the first three-time winner of the Wade Trophy.
"I am glad I have been healthy enough to play for four years and represent as best as I could," Moore said.
Moore was presented a special poster from WBCA CEO Beth Bass commemorating what Bass called a Wade Trophy "3-pest."
"That was special, they didn't have to do that. I was personally touched and it will help me remember the season," Moore said.
Among those in attendance where her teammates and coaching staff, former high school coach Angie Hembree, her mom and grandfather and several other family members.
Kathryn Moore respectfully declined to be interviewed saying "we are just going to enjoy the moment right now."
Moore was joined on the State Farm team by Danielle Adams of Texas A&M, Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins, Baylor's Brittney Griner, Amber Harris of Xavier, Miami's Shenice Johnson, Ohio State's Jantel Lavender, Nneka Ogwumike of Stanford, Tennessee's Shekinna Stricklen and Gonzaga's Courtney Vandersloot.
Moore is expected to be named the Associated Press Player of the Year later today.
In other notes, UConn recruit Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis was limping noticably and is not expected to play in the WBCA High School All-American Game later today.
Bob Mackey of Christ the King was also in attendance and said he had no updates regarding senior Bria Smith. Smith has been focuses solely on the whirlwind tour of playing in the McDonald's and WBCA All-American games.
"We're just worrying about our game, we just did the McDonald's and we are going to move forward from that," Mackey said. "We'll think about it next week."
Smith, a senior guard who is a top 10 recruit, recently was released from the national letter of intent she signed with Virginia after head coach Debbie Ryan stepped down. UConn is one of the schools which flashed across the screen as being in the mix with Smith during the McDonald's All-American game broadcast.
