All Americans

[Greek Tragedy]

Also, anyone find a boxscore for the all-star game this morning?

The announcer sarcastically said the refs were really tightening up the calls in the 2nd half of the all-star game. Got a good chuckle from the crowd.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

He said it after the first foul called in the second half about three minutes in... cracked me up.

Preseason All-Americans announced

[D3HoopJunkie]

Figured I would post this here on the Multi Topic thread since he was an All American last year........Former Albertus Magnus standout center Victor Ljuljdjuraj has signed a professional contract with Hoverla Ivano-Frankivsk of the Ukrainian Basketball Superleague. Congrats to Big Vic......He was a truly gifted D3 Player who was a tremendous defender and equally great scorer. I wish him all the best as he was a really nice young man too. Went out on the court every night and played the game right.......Rarely complained and always had the same calm and relaxed expression on his face yet underneath it all he was an ultra competitor.

Also from what I found Big Vic posted a double double in his first game with the team.

I have been hearing news that both Eian Davis and Tavon Sledge, 2 really gifted guards from last season teams are also looking to make the move to professional basketball as well. Will update accordingly if I hear any more news.

Is it Friday Yet!!!!!!

I thought I would post this, even though it's only the NABC, which doesn't count!

Just noticed that this is the year for the second all-decade team from d3.hoops.com.

Pat (or whoever), any target date for presenting that?

I know I have heard discussions but I don't know what Gordon and Dave and the crew are planning to do. I was around for most of that decade and hope to participate.

I started looking through the candidates informally yesterday - we've got our hands full for sure.  We've also got to figure out how to treat guys whose careers overlapped the two decades.  Ben Strong and Andrew Olson are in that category.

Hoping Troy Ruths of Wash U will receive consideration... 2006-2008

So are James Cooper and Kent Raymond.

Personally, I think that it should go by where your senior year falls. So if your freshman and sophomore year are in the first decade and the junior and senior years are in the second decade, you should qualify for the second go around for the All-Decade team. Not expecting you guys to use this theory just an idea I had and thought to share.

We had a policy for this 10 years ago, so hopefully we'd follow that again. We did not consider anyone who wasn't a senior by the spring of 2007.

Last post deleted...my mistake.

So are we talking 2008-2017?

That's my understanding.  The last team included a few players who graduated in 2007.  Oddly enough, the 2007 POY was junior, Ben Strong, so I don't think he was eligible.
