Women’s College Basketball Players Rankings – Class by Class! Week 7! *shortened version*

~ Aneela Khan ~ 1 Comment

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the holidays with your close family and friends making special memories. We are now into Week 7 of these rankings and a ton of teams have either finished or almost done playing their non conference part of the schedule. Just like last week, this will be a shortened version of the rankings due to the holidays. So, it will be the top 20 seniors, the top 15 juniors, the top 10 sophomores and the top 5 freshmen instead of the usual 36 seniors, 27 juniors, 18 sophomores and 9 freshmen. This makes the list much more tougher to get on so if your player was not on the list this week, there’s a good chance they will be back next week. The rankings will get back to normal for next week as some leagues begin their conference part of the schedule.

If you would like to see the previous week’s rankings, click here. If you have any questions, check my FAQ page or leave them in the comments section and I will get back to you.

Listed below are the top 20 seniors, the top 15 juniors, the top 10 sophomores and the top 5 freshmen for the week of December 18th to December 24th.

Women’s College Basketball Final Overall Player Rankings for 2016/2017 – Class by Class!

~ Aneela Khan ~ 4 Comments

What a season. How time flies. Beginning of the season, I had no clue as to how the season would go. From November to March, It has been my absolute pleasure in putting up these weekly rankings. You can check out the previous week rankings here or check my archives. But, these rankings are different. It is the overall player rankings, taken from my own weekly rankings.

I designed these overall rankings into a system. Over 16 weeks, whoever had the best week against top opponents in non conference play or conference play got a nod. I didn’t just limit the players to just the power 5 schools, I also included some really good mid major ones as well as if a mid major team had a big win against a Power 5 school, I had them in as well.

So who made the cut? Who were the top 36 seniors this year? The top 27 juniors? The top 18 sophomores? The top 9 freshmen? Read below and find out!

Women’s College Basketball Player Weekly Rankings – Week 11! Class by Class!

~ Aneela Khan ~ 2 Comments

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 16th to the 22nd.

Note: *Before we jump into Week 11 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 some confusion*
