~ Aneela Khan ~ Leave a comment

It’s that time of year again! The start of a brand new women’s college basketball season is upon us with many exciting story lines to watch for. This also means that the women’s college basketball players rankings are back! This is the fourth year of compiling these rankings and they take a lot of time, energy and effort. It’s a pleasure to do them every year, but keep in mind that these rankings can change from now until March. I have received tons of feedback over the years on these rankings and it is great to see how they they have been received from the women’s basketball community. Thank you all for the constant support on these rankings. I sincerely appreciate it.

The preseason rankings are combined of a combination of what happened last year and what is most likely predicted this season from the players. Remember, this list can change and are updated weekly. These rankings are designed to help gauge who really are the top players in women’s college basketball and if you have any questions or comments, feel free to read the FAQ regarding these rankings. Any additional questions or queries, leave them in the comments and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Listed below are the preseason rankings for the top 36 seniors, the top 27 juniors, the top 18 sophomores and the top 9 freshmen for 2019-2020. Curious to see who made last year’s preseason list? Click here for that list.

Women’s College Basketball Final Overall Player Rankings for 2018/2019 – Class by Class!

~ Aneela Khan ~ Leave a comment

March has arrived and it is my favourite month due to the NCAA Tournament. March Madness is truly a special time and holds many dear memories. It is now time to unveil the FINAL OVERALL Women’s College Basketball Players Rankings for the 2018/2019 season. From November to March, there have been special moments and incredible performances from seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen.

For 16 weeks, I took the best of the best women’s college basketball players and put them on my week to week lists. I looked at over 48 schools per week for every week. I tried my best to make the ratings fair and include a wide variety of big and small conferences. These rankings can take quite a bit of time to put together as they require a ton of time and attention.

I have been compiling these rankings for three years now and if you would like to check out the 2017/2018 edition, you may do so here. If you would like to view the 2016/2017 edition, you can click here. If you have questions or this is the first time reading these rankings, please read the FAQ page first.

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you are enjoying the holidays with your close friends and family and making memories. We are now into Week 7 of these rankings and some teams are still undefeated and some new players are starting to emerge. Since these are the holidays, this will be the last week that the rankings are shortened.

The rankings will be back to normal next week. Since this was a shortened list, there is a good chance your favorite player did not make it this week.

Women’s College Basketball Player Rankings – Class by Class! Week 3

~ Aneela Khan ~ 1 Comment

The women’s college basketball season is still very young but we are starting to get a sense of who the top players will be this season. In this week, it was the US Thanksgiving weekend, so I hope all of my American readers enjoyed a happy and joyous weekend. I was enjoying a family wedding in the States this weekend, so the rankings are a bit late this week. They will finally go back to the regular scheduled Monday posts starting from next week.

On that note, listed below are the top 36 seniors, the top 27 juniors, the top 18 sophomores and the top 9 freshmen for the week of Nov. 19th to Nov. 25th.
