Tshiebwe and Bailey didn't come back.

Correct that is my oversight....thanks, I did forget those two.

These are my picks to win the honor. Not who I necessarily think ESPN,CBS sports, etc. will choose.

I like all but Nembhard, not sure the Zags will be quite as good as in past years...may affect the PG

Maybe a little bit of a stretch, but I think he will be the best player on a team that usually dominates the regular season. He will have his way in that conf.

I agree with all of that, it isn't a stretch to think teams will key in on him though...if that happens, I don't think he is good enough to overwhelm and make all american. We will see. I do like the pick though for the most part.

Wonder what Vegas odds are for All-Americans? I would love to do a 5-10 player parlay for say $5.00.
