1st Team ALL BIG EAST??

[Xuperman]

Wow. There is some really interesting speculation going on here. This is a FIRST team discussion.

I am going to assume that anyone that cares, realizes 4 spots are not in question (especially after today). Unless the coaches are going to pass on Freemantle's top of the league type stats AND his inspired history....that leaves 1 spot.

There are realistically about 4 guys that have any chance....and 3 of them are on 2 teams. If Free goes 2nd team, things don't really change anything about those same 4 guys.

Considering FRESHMAN here is kinda ridiculous.

You know that sorber has a first round draft projection and has dozens of scouts at every one of his games, right? 15,8 and 2 blocks a game. He has similar offensive numbers to free and unlike free, can play defense.

[Xuperman]

Yes, great stats for sure....on a mediocre team.

That said, are you saying that the coaches of this league would ever disrespect upperclassmen....with better stats....and years of continuing to keep this conference at an elite level?

[MHettel]

Why does the BE have 6 guys? Seems like pretty much every other “all-XXX” team is just 5. And some kind a stick to positions…kinda.

I don’t see Ashworth as a lock. But not because he’s not worthy. It’s because it seems like the voters (not even sure who votes) often tend to spread the votes around and reward teams that finished high with no “stars”. SJU must have a first team guy. Richmond? Luis?

I feel like the top 4 teams will get a guy each. Right or wrong. Last 2 spots up for grabs. Sorber is absolutely in the mix. Free too. Ashworth obviously is too, and it will just come down to how many teams the award gets spread out to.

[Xuperman]

I am predicting Free and Ball with the other 4.

But man it's a really tough call!!

[Xuperman]

The coaches vote Hett. 1 guy gets POY, then the next 5 vote getters.

2 players from the same team is very common.

Guys that are 5th in scoring and the top assist man do not miss the 1st team....like ever.....in any conference.

If I am wrong, can someone explain otherwise?

Locks:

Dixon
Kalk
Jones

Probables:

Ashworth
Luis

Free in the convo for the 6th but can’t see no one from UConn.

[Xuperman]

With all said and done and not much going on until Thursday....good time to bring this back to the top. What has changed?

The biggest change for me is Luis is now a lock. In fact, I have heard multiple talking heads touting him POY....with CONFIDENCE!

I am starting to agree. Today he was outstanding....AGAIN.
But man, he is a 2nd year BE, transfer guy. How can he get it over TWO 5 year BE guys....1 being arguably the greatest player in Creighton history and the other the NATIONAL scoring leader?

My final prediction-
POY- Kalk
Luis Jr.
Jones
Dixon
Ashworth
Freemantle

ALL FRESHMAN
Sorber*
McNeeley
McAndrew
Mela

Free deserves it. He's been nails this year. Double digits every game he played. Consistent good to great results EVERY night.

Beauty of playing in a great conference, you have to be great to make it. He's been great this year.
