Robinson on Preseason Wooden Watch

Oct. 5, 2010

LOS ANGELES -- Oklahoma's Danielle Robinson was named to the Women's Wooden Award preseason watch list for a consecutive year, announced Tuesday by the Los Angeles Athletic Club.

The women's list is comprised of 30 student-athletes who, based on last year's individual performance and team records, are the early frontrunners for college basketball's most prestigious honor.

Robinson, a State Farm Coaches' All-American and Wade Trophy finalist last season, led her team to back-to-back Final Fours in 2009 and 2010.

Transfers, freshmen and medical redshirts are not eligible for the preseason list. These players and others who excel throughout the season will be evaluated and considered for December's Midseason list and the official voting ballot released in March. The National Ballot consists of approximately 20 top players who have proven to their universities that they are also making progress toward graduation and maintaining at least a cumulative 2.0 GPA. The Wooden Award All American Team, consisting of the nation's top five players, will be announced the week of the "Elite Eight" round of the NCAA Tournament.

The 35th annual Wooden Award ceremony, which will include the announcement of the Men's and Women's Wooden Award winners, a special tribute to Coach Wooden and Wooden Award founder Duke Llewellyn, and the presentation of the Wooden Award All American Teams and the Legends of Coaching Award, will take place the weekend of April 8-10, 2011.
