Should be on, but only one will:
Clayton Custer, LUC
Darral Willis, WSU
Phil Fayne, ISUr
This Bol, SIU

Good new comers that won't make the list:
JoJo McGlasten, BU
Jordan Ashton, UNI
DJ Clayton, ISUr

Award Thiefs:
Landry Shamet - WSU
Darrell Brown - BU

Wow. Regardless of the end results of this....there is a lot of good, new talent in this league. When you couple the above with the fact that the all conference teams won't consist of 90% Seniors like it did last year, then the future is rather bright for this league!

With MM out for ISUr, Fayne probably nabs a spot alongside Shamet as the 4th and 5th players.

I'm counting on Jo Jo to finish strong. Still time for him. I'm also optimistic about what Wardle can do with him over the offseason.

No doubt a good add for Bradley!

Jayden Hodgson has taken a giant step forward for Bradley during the final month of the season, averaging 8.9 points, 2.7 assists (1.6:1 A:TO), and 3.2 rebounds over the last 10 games, while seemingly assuming the leadership (both vocal and on the floor) the Bradley program has lacked for years. He's hitting 54.5% from 3 in Valley play as well.

He won't make the All Newcomer Team..and shouldn't...but he should be on the All Freshman team with Darrell Brown.

I think Reaves has slowly worked his way off the All-Freshman team. Going to be Brown, Shamet, Hodgson, Haldeman...

Reaves is in the next group with Bar and the kid from ISUb.

Its not a very strong group of freshmen--at least statistically or from a league impact standpoint (outside of Shamet and Brown).

I am pretty sure Matt Chastain would have been under consideration for a Freshman team spot, except he was injured in Game 3. Next year, Loyola will have Cameron Krutwig (3-star center), Christian Negron (3.3 star power forward), and Chastain as a medical redshirt freshman. That's a pretty good group of freshman talent.

The fact is, recruiting freshmen is a huge investment, and it's hard to get off the merry-go-round of recruiting ultra-talented, athletic jucos. I love how a player like Donte Ingram turned out... he came in without much fanfare and was a contributing bench player as a freshman, an average starter as a sophomore, and a multi-faceted high-imact player as a junior.
