Another Cougar on a national watchlist, Alex Covill makes the cut
Alex Covill is on another national watchlist, and at this point, it's starting to feel like a habit we don't mind getting used to. The Cougar women's basketball guard has made the cut, and while we don't have the full list of names in front of us, seeing a Coug's name on a national radar is always worth a second look. Covill has been building a reputation, and the recognition is catching up to the work.
This isn't her first nod of the preseason. We wrote earlier about her and Villa landing on the Pac-12 impact list, and that kind of company says something about the direction Kamie Ethridge's roster is heading. The program is coming off a tough year, but the talent is stacking up. Covill is a big part of why the Cougs might bury that 9-25 season sooner than people expect.
We don't stretch stories here, but we do notice patterns. A player who shows up on multiple lists, with national eyes starting to look, is a player worth watching. Covill isn't just filling a spot on the floor. She's earning her name in the conversation. Go Cougs.
