The SEC released its preseason all-conference team today, listed below. Ashlee Elliott, Katy Frierson and Kayla Grimsley were on the preseason team a year ago. Elliott was also on the 2008 team, as was Kelli Corless.
Of some note for a conference still trying to build its own base, five of the 15 are from out-of-conference states. I’m not sure off the top of my head if that’s high or low, but I’ll be interested to see how that stacks up against other leagues (in terms of the SEC itself, three of 11 members of the 2009 preseason team and six of 12 members of the 2008 preseason team were from outside the league’s geography).
