The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced the Top 10 candidates for the 2024 Cheryl Miller Award, and Tennessee’s Rickea Jackson has once again made the list.
Jackson, a 6-foot-2 fifth-year player from Detroit, Mich., was selected to the top 10 for the third time in her career. She was a top-five Cheryl Miller Award finalist in 2022-23 as a senior and advanced to the top 10 in 2020-21 as a sophomore.
Named after the three-time Naismith Player of the Year and Class of 1995 Hall of Famer, the annual award, in its seventh year, recognizes the top small forwards in women’s NCAA Division I college basketball.
The top-ten 2024 Cheryl Miller Small Forward of the Year Award candidates include Jackson, Madison Booker (Texas), Mara Braun (Minnesota), McKenzie Forbes (USC), Yarden Garzon (Indiana), Kiki Jefferson (Louisville), Jordan King (Marquette), Cotie McMahon (Ohio State), Aneesah Morrow (LSU) and Alyssa Ustby (North Carolina). Players can play their way onto and off the list at any point in the 2023-24 season.
