Kelsey Jacobs has played in 129 of the 133 games that past 4 seasons plus she played in 9 games her true Freshman year before going down with season ending stress fracture and getting a medical redshirt. Kelsey only played about 7 minutes a game in those 9 games but the team was 6-3. By my calculations Kelsey has played in 101 wins as a Lady Shocker which makes her the winningest Lady Shocker in history.)

HOF Score = Career Points + Rebounds + Assists + Steals + Blocks

Clearly Alex Harden will be in the Shocker Hall of Fame when she becomes eligible. She may even receive the ultimate honor of having her image hanging from the rafters in Koch Arena.

The real question regarding the Shocker HOF is did the committee, in light of Lisa Hodgson's induction in 2014, expand the number of Shocker WBB players that should be added to the HOF. I am not saying that this honor should be based solely on career stats, but it would appear that there are at least 3 to 6 players that may be deserving. I would say Lateesha Hill, Kim Evans, and Terry O'Bryon should be in for sure with Kiki Stephens, Theresa Dreiling and Ann Hollingsworth deserving serious consideration.

I suppose you could make an argument for others but you want to retain some degree of exclusivity in your Hall of Fame. I have to admit that I never saw Lisa Hodgson play or do I know anything about the intangibles she brought to the table and perhaps her total package supports her induction ahead of some of this other players. From a purely statistical standpoint however I wonder if her induction has seemingly lowered the bar somewhat. My guess is the HOF committee probably did not apply any objective measures (at least on a relative basis) in making that decision.

I guess I should submit this information the next time HOF nominations are accepted.

Kind of hard to separate O'Bryon, Dreiling, and Hodgson since they all played together with Dreiling and Hodgson 3 years together. Secondly, by your point system, both O'Bryon and Dreiling having higher totals.
