18 2021 NWA COLLEGE BASKETBALL PREVIEW | 11.7.2021 ARKANSAS WOMEN'S PLAYER CAPSULES BY PAUL BOYD way. She's grown on everybody in our program." Daniels has a chance to be the only player in school history who would have qualified for the NCAA Tournament. That would come with a bit of an asterisk since the tournament was canceled because of the pandemic in her freshman season. "She's not on the all-conference team and that's OK because we have great players in this league," Neighbors said. "And I know most people wouldn't write her name down, but it's time for me, her coach, to make sure people don't do it because of lack of information." "But let's stack up big wins, stack up statistics and efficiencies. If you look at guards that came out in her recruiting class, she's in the conversation being among the top five." He understands Daniels being overshadowed by Dungee and Slocum and even sharp-shooting Amber Ramirez at times the last couple of years, but that time has passed. "But people don't even know her name?" Neighbors said. "You're not paying attention."
