Kent Raymond should be unanimous player of the year....

What he is doing tonight is unfricking believable....

True enough. The end of the first half was ridiculous.

You two guys just don't watch Raymond enough.

It's pretty much another day at the office for him.

Ain't that the truth. He single handedly destroyed Withworth last year. The kid's the real deal and has been doing it consistently.

Good thing that you threw out his name after I'd drafted him in the D3 tourney fantasy draft.

Tell Carson to lay off the garbage plates & Genny Cream this week. I need a big showing from him this weekend against Salem State (and, I hope, either Virginia Wesleyan or Widener).

Jimmy Bartolotta wins the Jostens trophy. That makes Bartolotta 2 for 2 on the hybrid player of the year/academic/service awards (he was also named CoSida Academic All-America of the Year).

It will be interesting to see how he fares in the purely basketball awards. He is the leading candidate for NE Player of the Year (after talking amongst some NE basketball people, not just my own opinion). He was also tabbed preseason second team all-american and his performance this season should have done nothing but improve his status for selection to the All-American team. Congrats on a great season to Bartolotta and MIT.

I think Aaron Thompson's weekend performance gets him in the picture for second team Al-American.Well, that coupled with his selection as UAA POY. Another weekend like this past one and he's a lock.

After the way he performed for my fantasy team I'm lobbying for the 1st team.

KorsairKILLAH · March 10, 2009, 04:10:25 PM

I would think Brandon Shelton from umass dartmouth would make one of the all american teams.

17.9 ppg, 6.3 rpg, his team has 27 wins and they are in the sweet 16.

I have a question for anyone who knows, but maybe Pat would be able to answer best. When you are selecting All-America teams, how strict are you with the G/F/C classifications? For example, in the preseason Bartolotta was listed as a guard on the 2nd team. However, he played the entire season as MIT's starting small forward (Brad Gampel started at the 1 and Jamie Karraker at the 2). Bartolotta also played some 4, guarding Craig Johnson against Coast Guard, for example. Would he be eligible for a forward spot on an all-america team? In other words, would Raymond, Wallis, and Bartolotta all be able to make 1st team, or would one have to be on the second-team?

If I remember correctly about the process, their position listed on the roster or how they are submitted helps with the F/G decision.

Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) · March 10, 2009, 06:09:05 PM

Doesn't it all depend on who gets nominated for all-region teams first?
