Senior guard Angel Goodrich was named to the preseason All-Big 12 team. Her teammate Carolyn Davis, senior forward, received the early-season accolade of honorable mention for the team on Wednesday.
The preseason all-conference teams are voted on by the coaches in the league, and coaches cannot vote for their own players.
Kansas coach Bonnie Hennickson understands what kind of honor it is for Goodrich to be named to the All-Big 12 team with many great athletes in the conference.
"I'm really excited for Angel, and I have so much respect for the coaches in our league, and for them to tip their hat to her is quite an
honor." Henrickson said in a press release. "This league has such elite players, and for Angel to be recognized as one of the top-five players in our conference is a testament to the work she has put in and just how talented she is."
After a run to the Sweet 16 a year ago, Henrickson and the Jayhawks will look to lean on the two senior leaders to get back to the same position again.
"Angel and Carolyn are special players, and we are excited about those two and the potential they have," Henrickson said. "We look for them to have fantastic senior years and lead this program again."
In 2011, Goodrich had an impressive year as point guard of the Jayhawks. She led the nation in assists per game at 7.4 and also scored 14 points per game.
Goodrich was also named on the Nancy Lieberman award finalist list for being the top point guard in the nation. Goodrich broke both the University and Big 12 Conference record as she tallied 250 assists.
Davis' season was cut short last year when she went down with a knee injury. She still led the layhawks in scoring with 16.9 points per game despite only playing in 23 of the 34 contests last season.
Besides being named to the AllBig 12 teams, Goodrich and Davis were among the 25 female basketball players named to the 2012-2013 State Farm Wade Trophy watch list. The Wade Trophy is presented to player of the year in Division 1 women's basketball.

DALLAS — Former NFL wide receiver Sam Hurd, whose young career was brought to a halt by accusations that he tried to set up a drug-dealing ring in the middle of a season, is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday on new charges.
Arrested last December, Hurd is due in Dallas federal court Wednesday afternoon to plead on a new indictment with charges related to his time out on bail earlier this year. Hurd is accused of trying to have a cousin arrange a deal to buy 5 kilograms of cocaine and 200 pounds of marijuana.

The 27-year-old Hurd is being held in federal prison near Dallas.
Hurd's arrest during last year's NFL season shocked his teammates on the Chicago Bears. Authorities have accused him of trying to set up large-scale purchases of cocaine and marjjuana — and accepting 1 kilogram, or 2.2 pounds, of cocaine from an undercover officer at a Chicago-area steakhouse. Hurd allegedly told the officer he wanted to eventually buy 5 to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marjjuana per week to distribute in the Chicago area.
plea agreements.
Agents were waiting outside the steakhouse to arrest him.
Hurd pleaded not guilty and was released on bail. The Bears eventually cut him.
The San Antonio native played at Northern Illinois University and spent five seasons with the Dallas
Cowboys before signing with the Bears in 2011. The deal was reportedly worth up to $5.15 million, including a $1.35 million signing bonus and base pay this season of $685,000.
Hurd was living in Texas earlier this summer when he fell back into trouble. Authorities say he failed two drug tests and also tried to arrange another deal for cocaine and marjujana through Chavful. Chavful, in documents signed Monday as part of his plea agreement, said Hurd contacted him at his T-shirt shop in San Antonio and asked to "get him cocaine and marjujana."
Chavful's attorney, Laura Harper, denied that Chavful was pleading guilty in a bid of leniency at sentencing.
