OAA 2024 PRE-SEASON POWER RANKING & ALL-CONFERENCE TEAM

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Women's college basketball pre-season polls and pre-season all-conference selections are flooding the internet. In addition to the 2024-25 conference preview articles, I thought it would be worthwhile to release power rankings and all-conference selections to build excitement heading into the winter season. The Oakland Activities Association teams have been ranked 1-23, based on who I believe wins each matchup and would have the better pre-season power rating heading into the 2024 season. Transfers, incoming freshmen, head coaching changes, and observed progress during the off-season are all taken into account.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/10/2024-25-season-preview-oaa-red/?itm_source=parsely-api">OAA RED PREVIEW ARTICLE</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/10/2024-25-season-preview-oaa-white/">OAA WHITE PREVIEW ARTICLE</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/10/2024-25-season-preview-oaa-blue/">OAA BLUE PREVIEW ARTICLE</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2024-25 OAA PRE-SEASON POWER RANKING</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1.

My goal was to determine around 40 players throughout the conference who are not only great players, but who will also be crucial to their team's success this season. There were some girls left off the list who I do believe will be important this season and could be regarded as a top 40 player in the conference. However, the nature of nominations is to be selective and the players included are those I feel will be All-League candidates after the 2024 season, regardless of what division they compete in.</p>
