No doubt Reagan Beers is the team MVP by a long shot so far this season, but I would have to give Kelsey Rees a special recognition as the "surprise" player of the year, if there was such an award. Through 8 games she is 2nd in scoring (9.8 points per game. Beers is 1st at 19.1), 3rd in rebounding (5.8), tied for 1st in blocked shots (1.4), 2nd in overall field goal percentage (53.8) [if you ignore Sela Heidi's 81.8 % which is based on very few attempts], tied for 1st with Lily Hansford for fewest turnovers per game (0.5) despite averaging the most minutes per game [if you ignore Adlee Blacklock 0.0 turnovers but with very little playing time], and MOST IMPRESSIVELY, 57.9 percent 3 point shooting which is by far the best on team so far.

Picking up Rees is turning out to a huge unforseen get for OSU. What a great and badly needed addition she has been! She Intimidates shot takers and plays good defense in general. Super win-win situation for her and the Beavers: If she stayed at Utah she would still be a backup behind Pili, while at OSU she is a starter and plays more minutes per game than anyone on the team.
