Senior CLASS Award Candidates Released – Anderson
and McElhiney Among Candidates
Chantelle Anderson and Ashley McElhiney have been listed
as candidates for the second annual Senior CLASS Award.
The award is presented annually to the nation’s
senior player-of-the-year for NCAA Division I men’s
and women’s basketball. The inaugural award winners
were Juan Dixon of Maryland and Sue Bird of Connecticut.
The list of women’s “Players to Watch”
include representatives from 15 conferences, eight of
which have multiple players on the list. The SEC also
has the most women’s players, with six nominations.
There are five players on the women’s list that
were AP All-Americans last season, including two first-team
selections.
The formation of the Senior CLASS Award - an acronym
for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying
in School - was announced during last season’s
college basketball season. The CLASS Award was developed
in response to the recent trend of college basketball
players leaving college early to turn professional.
Selection criteria is based on a number of factors,
the most important being that the recipient must have
exhausted their four years of eligibility and have fulfilled
their commitment to their respective university.
