1) Wow. no Alex Oriakhi on any of your 3 teams? he was the 2nd best player on the best team in the nation last year…

2) Andre Drummond will be pre-season 1st team all-america let alone big east

3) Vincent Council leading the big east in assists is a fine prediciton, however, him not being on one of the 3 teams if he does indeed accomplish that is insane.

no brandon triche on ANY team?

Taylor Condrin- You are probably not aware of this but Council led the Big East in assists last year and did not make a team. Drummond is a great player but UConn is stacked and he wont get enough touches or score enough to warrant 1st team. Im saying 14 and 7 for him. And finally, Oriakhi is a great defensive player and may have been their second best guy last year, but I consider him the fourth best this year behind Lamb, Drummond, and Napier.

BMore- Triche is playing on a stacked Cuse team so I dont see him getting more than 12 ppg.

Nice list man, I remember your 1st one during the summer. Couple of comment I have:

I don’t think Khem will get enough min to make all defense and probably won’t make all freshman.

No way Oriakhi isn’t on one of the all conf teams.

Don’t see Andre Drummond making all conf..might be honorable mention

(Call me biased) I think D’angelo Harrison will surprise some by winning F.O.Y. with the other 3 guys being ruled ineligible, more will be asked of him (go Johnnies).

I like that you have Tim Abro 1st team, I like him more than Singler as a prospect.

I see Vander Blue taking a big leap in his game as a soph, after adjusting to the college game a frosh

Junior Cadougan leads conf in Assist

I did ok with these predictions. I got Council right for assists and Dieng for blocks and close with Pope. I was really dissapointed with Gibbs since I thought he would be a great scorer to lead Pitt back to the tourney. I expected more from the freshman Drummond, Birch and Hinds too. I didnt see the great play of the freshman Henton, Collins, and Harkless either.
