Congrads DM! Well deserved and a Captain !Wow, a nice honor that I wasn't expecting, but it is still a great thing to have happen. Congrats to Dave Smith and the Huskies for this preseason recognition.
Ben Huber and Korey Morton Pre-Season All Big East Team. Ian Cooke Pre-Season Pitcher of the Year.
So David Smith is a preseason All American but not on any Big East pre season team?

Meggs and Smith were both 2nd team All Big East last year. Meggs had a little higher batting average. Assuming it's just the 8 head coaches that vote for these Big East nominations. Wonder what the tally was?A nice pre Christmas present, so to speak, releasing this stuff.
No surprise that Huber and Morton made the Big East Pre-Season Team. Cooke showed plenty of potential last season as well, so no big surprise that he gets mentioned as well.
As for David Smith, it does seem odd that he got named as a second team All American, but not to the Big East Pre-Season Team. I'm thinking that a lot of the Big East Pre-Season Team was probably based on performance during the last spring season. As for the All American ranking, it has been mentioned that David Smith did very well during the fall ball season, and the All American ranking might be partly taking in how players did in the fall, while the Big East is not. That is the only real explanation I can think of.
