Great news, I am very happy for Harris
I actually think they should have had Payne on the first team instead of Craft. Why two point guards? Having Thomas as a 3, and Payne as a 4, makes more sense. Craft was clearly a second team all big ten point guard, but not a first team player. I hope Payne comes back next year and dominates, but I think that is unlikely.
Hammonds and Decker join Gary with frosh honors baby !!!
Karchinski get healed up baby !!!
Nixer get award baby !!!
The Tanner brings the goods baby !!!
And Chris you keep shilling for the Jackrabbits, they might win in Dayton.
The biggest smh vote about was hardaway – he didn’t do anything in the league, same thing with robinson. and any Paris Hilton who gets a defensive award is worth a smh, too.
