The 2009–10 Kansas Jayhawks women's basketball team represented the University of Kansas in the 2009–10 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Jayhawks were a member of the Big 12. Kansas returned four starters and eight letter winners to the line-up, including All-American guard-forward Danielle McCray. The Jayhawks added seven newcomers to the 2009-10 team, led by redshirt freshman Angel Goodrich, who sat out the entire 2008-09 season after suffering a knee injury.[2]

Offseason

[edit]
  • July 15: Kansas basketball players Tyshawn Taylor (men’s team) and Danielle McCray (women’s team) each earned a gold medal this month after winning championships in their respective tournaments. McCray helped lead her team to win the USA Women's World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia. McCray was the second leading scorer on Team USA shooting 56.7 percent.[3]
  • July 30: The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), on behalf of the Wade Coalition, announced the 2009-2010 preseason "Wade Watch" list for The State Farm Wade Trophy Division I Player of the Year. Kansas player Danielle McCray has been named to the 2009-10 preseason "Wade Watch" list,[4] which is made up of top NCAA Division I student-athletes who best embody the spirit of Lily Margaret Wade. This is based on the following criteria: game and season statistics, leadership, character, effect on their team and overall playing ability.
  • August 21: The 2009-10 preseason candidates list for the Women’s Wooden Award was released, naming 31 student athletes. Danielle McCray from Kansas was one of the candidates.[5]
