Be sure to include any returning first-team selections and Kodak All-America picks, right? Not so fast. With so many talented players in the frontcourt this season, we omitted what might be considered an obvious pick for the ESPN.com preseason All-America team, a squad that is comprised of five players from five different conferences. Vanderbilt's Chantelle Anderson, the lone SEC representative, also got the nod as ESPN.com's preseason Player of the Year, and headlined Beth Mowins' picks for the top five centers in the country. Now enough with this preseason stuff. Let's tip it off.
