Women’s College Basketball Player Weekly Rankings – Week 12! Class by Class!

We are ending the month of January this week and heading into a busy February where many teams have one last shot at improving their standings heading into the NCAA tournament. This was an interesting week. Not much movement towards the top, but some new players broke in as well as players who haven’t been on the list in a while.

Listed below are the top 36 seniors, the top 27 juniors, the top 18 sophomores and the top 9 freshmen for the week of Jan 23rd to Jan 29th.

Note: *Before we jump into Week 12 rankings, I just thought I would clear some confusion regarding the rankings. These are weekly rankings, based on games played from the week before. These are NOT overall rankings. If a player’s team did not play that week or was injured, they will NOT be on the list that week. These player rankings were designed to see which players were consistently playing well, week to week. I am checking in and on around 52(!!!) schools each week to get a fair assessment on top players. There’s no bias in these rankings, so if your player is moved around, that just means another player had a better week against stronger competition, or was not the best player on their team during that week. I always check and give credit to players who perform well vs top 25 teams, top 10 teams, etc. I also look into the blowouts and assess the players fairly there as well. I hope this clears the confusion*
