Something felt off about the last few days in the world of UK Athletics, and then it hit me: Rhyne Howard hadn’t been named to a preseason award watch list in over a week. Shocking, I know! But don’t worry, the senior guard returned to the spotlight on Tuesday with a vengeance.
Howard, Kentucky Women’s Basketball’s star player, was tabbed to two more preseason award watch lists ahead of tonight’s season-opener against Presbyterian College: the Wooden Award and Wade Trophy, which are both national player of the year honors.
The list of preseason recognitions for Howard continues to grow.
