A couple Longhorns received awards without even stepping on the hardwood this year.
Rori Harmon, Madison Booker, Shaylee Gonzales, DeYona Gaston and Aaliyah Moore were all honored by Big 12 coaches and media., including one being given the Preseason Player of the Year award, after the league announced the All-Big 12 Team and individual awards Wednesday.
Booker was the Mississippi Gatorade Player of the Year in 2022-23 and was the No. 12 ranked player in the 2023 class. She has won three gold medals as a member of the USA Basketball team, doing so most recently at the U19 World Cup in Spain.Gaston was named the Big 12 Player of the Week once in 2023, following a week where she scored 20 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in a win over Alabama State on Dec. 11. Gaston increased her per game point total from 7.1 to 12.
Gonzales was the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year in 2023 and a USBWA National Player of the Week. Gonzales passed 2,000 career points in the collegiate career in the 2022-23 season and was an All-American and Naismith Midseason Team selection during the 2021-22 season. She also led the Longhorns in scoring in the 2022-23 season.
Moore suffered an ACL tear just nine games into the 2022-23 campaign. Prior to her injury, she was averaging 11.2 points per game and almost five rebounds per game, scoring in double figures in seven of her nine games including a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds against Marquette on Nov. 19.
