Thanks for the correction on Russell's year. That's my mistake.
Regarding Toomey, I don't think we've ever chosen a transfer as Preseason All-American. Even Sydney Moss had to wait six months when she transferred from Florida before we lavished her with all our awards.
By the way, if I'm just going on what I read, there's another D1 transfer I like even more than Toomey and she's not on the team either. I'll wait to to tell you who she is until she does something worth celebrating.

Pellecchia was definitely considered, but there are only so many spots to go around. It's unlikely we'd give four of 25 spots to the same team and NYU now has three returning All-Americans with Bauman and Morrison transferring in from Babson and Smith.
Fortunately Belle can prove us wrong over the next few months, though I still won't guarantee that we'll have 80 percent of their starters as All-Americans.
