What records can be broken? Part One: Women's Basketball

Games Played

Current: Shereese Williams and Jada Williams (103)

Closest Active Player: Lindsey Caudell (80) 

Final Answer: Depending on who returns, most likely in the next couple of seasons. Caudell, Niaya White (68 games) and Carly Winters (66 games) are all seniors. If Caudell returns and plays all 28 games, she'll set a new mark with 108 appearances. Assuming they don't, however, Mackenzie Johnson has 64 games while Kalen Surles has 63 appearances and both of them will move further up the leaderboard. What's definite, though, is that the six with triple-digit appearances (Shereese and Jada, Kaycee Cash, Keta Robinette, Briana Bell and Lauren Smith) will remain in the top fifteen for a while. 

Steals

Current: Lauren Smith (252)

Closest Active Player: Kalen Surles (96) 

Final Answer: It's not outside the realm of possibility, but it's not a done deal, either. Kalen would need to average 79 steals per season- or 2.8 per game- to have a shot. While this isn't impossible, her current average is 1.5 per game. 

Blocks

Current: Ladondra Johnson (75)

Closest Active Player: Mackenzie Johnson (40)

Final Answer: If Johnson records blocks at her current pace, she'll be able to take home this record- she needs 17.5 blocks across two seasons, so let's round that to 18. Eighteen blocks in a 28-game season comes out to 0.6 per game, which is exactly her average thus far in her career.  

Assists

Current: Lauren Smith (522)

Closest Active Player: Kalen Surles (currently second with 211) 

Final Answer: Kalen's gonna need to work to get this one- she just finished her sophomore campaign, which means she has at minimum two more seasons to dish out 312 helpers. This equates to 156 per season, or 5.5 per game if we're assuming two 28-game seasons. 5.5 per game is, however, two more than what she's currently averaging. So it's not outside the realm of possibility but it's not a done deal, either.  

Rebounds

Current: Ladondra Johnson (758)

Closest Active Player: Mackenzie Johnson (currently sixth with 457)

Final Answer: Johnson might actually break this one- She needs 302 rebounds across two seasons to surpass Johnson's mark, or 151 per season, which averages out to 5.3 per game if we assume a 28-game season. Add in the fact that 5.3 RPG is two below what she's currently averaging and she can graduate having broken two marks- blocks and rebounds- that have stood for nearly a decade. 

Points

Current: Ladondra Johnson (1,598) 

Closest Active Player: Niaya White (currently fifth with 814) 

Final Answer: This one's probably safe. White and Carly Winters (who's also in the top ten) are both seniors and, although they can move further up the list if they come back next season, they're probably not getting to 1500 points, much less Johnson's mark.
