Here's the list..haven't seen it on here yet.

Melissa Elmer, Nebraska
Allie Griffin, Colorado
Gabby Guerre, Kansas State
Valeria Hejjas, Kansas State
Bethany Howden, Texas
Lindsey Hunter, Missouri
Laura Jones, Texas A&M
Josiane Lima, Kansas
Melissa Munsch, Texas A&M
Sarah Pavan, Nebraska
Jennifer Saleaumua, Nebraska

Honorable-Mention
Shen Danru, Missouri
Desiree Guilliard-Young, Baylor
Kelly Johnson, Texas Tech
Brandy Magee, Texas
Lisa Martin, Kansas State
Michelle Moriarty, Texas
Ashley Nu’u, Colorado
Coach of the Year: Jerritt Elliott, Texas
Player of the Year: Mira Topic, Texas
Freshman of the Year: Sarah Pavan, Nebraska
Defensive Players of the Year: Jennifer Saleaumua, Nebraska and Melissa Munsch, Texas A&M
Newcomer of the Year: Dariam Acevedo, Texas
Libero of the Year: Angie Lastra, Kansas State
Do not agree with the choice of Topic. . . when was this award voted on?? Did they miss the Nebraksa game last Wednesday? obviously there are better players in the Big XII...well we did get the trophy lol.
I think Nebraska got the shaft with the All-Big XII List...the No. 1 seed makes up for it, but we DID have the best Coach (if not KU's) and Libero. I think we deserved an honorable mention for Stalls, Busboom, or Houghtelling.

hmmm... really surprised Stalls wasn't on there somewhere. She had good numbers... at least for HM. And why does Texas have more all-conference performers than Nebraska?

What's "Newcomer of the Year" and why is it different than FOY?

Newcomers would allow for transfers and redshirt freshman to be honored. The FOY is just for players right out of high school.

Here's my backup stats...
I can't knock Topic's overall statistical performance, but I feel her very poor performance at such an important game Wednesday at Nebraska, where she was ABSOLUTELY shut down, should have taken her out of Big XII POY contention. This year in the Big XII the Best Player was also the Best Freshman. Pavan was the difference maker in the Big XII this year. (Look at Nebraska's conference record last year with a similar team and no Pavan.)
Tracy Stalls-Blocking
Big XII Rank-#3 (4 solo, 76 assists, 1.54 pg)
compare to Guilliard-Young (#7, 1.35)
Dani Busboom-Assists (Nebraska ranked #2 in Team Hit. pct)
Big XII Rank-#3 (13.31 pg)
compare to- Guerre-#7, 11.26 pg
Nu'u-#6, 11.78 pg
Its unfair to award these 2 setters when Dani had similar number. Considering Nebraska leads the Big XII in blocks( by nearly a block per game)...we just needed fewer kills than them.
Amanda McCormick-Digs
Big XII Rank-#1 (4.58 pg)
Compare to Angie Lastra (#6, 3.97)
Nebraska held opponents to a conference low .089 hitting percentage. I think our libero had something to do with that.
The Big XII Coaches must be very scared about the current dynasty Cook has going. Next year the Huskers lose nothing, and add top recruit Jordan Larson. I guess I will take this year's ignorance by the coaches considering we'll have 5 or 6 players capable of performing at All-Big XII level next year.

Tracy Stalls-BlockingBig XII Rank-#3 (4 solo, 76 assists, 1.54 pg) compare to Guilliard-Young (#7, 1.35) Yeah, Stalls out hit (%), out blocked, out dug and out served Guilliard-Young. And Guilliard-Young didn't even have that many kills to justify. Stalls got robbed of an honor... at least HM. |

I guess with the rush of NCAA post-season postings, you all missed the following thread, page 2 of which is cited: volleytalk.proboards35.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=1101663727&start=15 |

Does anyone know how the voting works? Does each coach submit nominees from his/her team that other coaches vote on? Are they limited in the number of players they can nominate?
The reason I ask is that A&M Coach Corbelli said she would have voted Pavan as POY if she had the chance, but she said John Cook did not nominate her for that. Does the POY vote have the same voting criteria as all-conference?

I saw this coming and was talking about it on another thread today. Even Kansas State got four on the list compared to Nebraska's three. I guess we just don't have any talent on our team. I can't imagine how we ever got ranked #1 at the National level and are almost bottom feeders in our own conference. |
