LEXINGTON, Ky. – Even though the Wildcats have not yet played a game this season, University of Kentucky junior guard Rhyne Howard is earning accomplishments the program has never seen before as Thursday the Associated Press named her a unanimous selection to its preseason All-America team as voted on by a 30-member national panel.
Howard becomes the first Kentucky women's basketball player to be named a first-team preseason All-American by the AP, which started announcing a preseason team in 1994-95. Last season, Howard became the first player in program history to earn first-team All-America honors from the AP, while she was the fifth Kentucky player in program history to earn first-team All-America honors from a major organization and just the second UK player behind Valerie Still to earn three or more first-team All-America honors in the same season.
