That's quite an honor for Sage and the Aggie program. It looks like all of the other nominees are from power programs not a mid-major program like the Aggies.
That's a fantastic achievement for Sage. She has really stepped up her game since Bertsch left. I know we say it all the time, but it is impressive the talent that Coach Gross is getting, and more importantly, the development of that talent.
Just a side note, there is a familiar name in the list of previous DPOY winners: Kristine Anigwe of California (2019), sister of current Aggie Christian Anigwe.
The comparisons of Sage to Morgan are bound to come up. Too soon to say, but at this point Morgan was a big inside force. Very good speed. Great leader. Her spin move was completely unstoppable. Sage is a better defender. Stronger and better rebounder and blocker. Better outside shot as well. I’d say they are about equal in talent in their junior years. That said, Morgan improved a lot in her senior year and has continued on as a pro. IMHO.
