Women’s College Basketball Players Rankings – Class by Class! Week 9

Now that conference play is underway, we are starting to get a sense of just how good these teams and players are. We still have two months of conference play and there is still much to be decided. First of all, congratulations to Shakayla Hill of Grambling State for notching a quadruple double in 25 years! That is an amazing feat which landed her a spot in this week’s rankings despite Grambling State’s overall record.

Before we dive right into this rankings, I just want to give you a quick reminder. These are WEEKLY rankings. Not OVERALL rankings. These will change from week to week. At the very end, I will compile the overall rankings list which will be out in the first week of March.

You can view last week’s rankings here. Have any questions or are a new reader of the rankings? Check my FAQ page.
