After all the ups and downs of the season with the injury, he is still getting his national recognition. Such a special player. Congrats to James!

James let's do something before you deserve national recognition.

If you can't see how special this kid is, I feel bad for you. The $h!+ this kid would have done over a full season would have been legendary. He needs to continue to build his legacy, but he can't do it alone. We are deep, and that depth has got to play well. A shutout from Polley or a real off game by Martin won't cut it. Everybody has got to step up.

[StllH8L8ner]

Pretty incredible accomplishment all things considered. Personally, I think he's at least third team but I'm a wee bit biased. Congrats JB!

 

[UConnDad]

So somewhere in the top 55 or so. Has to be some motivation there. On to the big stage!

I've learned from my kids that nerd is now considered a positive word. I suggest another word, possibly one ending with bag?

If he had a whole season I have to think he would have been.

 

[Waquoit]

Anyone throwing shade at this kid isn't much of a UConn fan.

 

[bendm]

didnt realize 50 guys got honorable mention

 

[HuskyFich]

didnt realize 50 guys got honorable mention

Well yeah, they participated...

Blows my mind that David Duke got one and Julian Champagnie didn't

 

[storrsroars]

Hell, I can't understand how Justin got one and Julian didn't.

Nah'Shon Bones Hyland is in there. For some reason we did not go after this guy hard enough, or we had too many guards at the time last year. Ended up at VCU.

Hurley took RJ instead, Hyland is really good but I'm more than happy with RJ.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Great for James, deserved recognition. He's a special talent. Looking forward to him experiencing tournament play along with the seniors who have toiled without that reward for 4 years.

 

[Hurleyman216]

According to the AP Gonzaga has 3 of the best 10 players in the country. I don't personally buy that, but if that's the case then they should DESTROY every team they play in this tournament. I personally think they will get knocked out in the E8 or F4 because they haven't been battle tested since December, but I could be wrong.

Lock 3rd team with full season if not 2nd.

Your kidding but I've been thinking that. Lol
