Congrats........

J-Money , Star Rhodes & Dr. SWAT....

Funny how they list our point guard as a guard/forward.....
He is a point power-forward.

 

[8dog]

was newcomer of the year but 2nd team, but Downey and Smith were first team. That doesn't make any sense. Is it not open to transfers?

 

[War Machine Dawg]

that Swat is only Honorable Mention and Patric Patterson is 2nd Team. In the head-to-head matcup, Swat pwn3d Patterson and had a triple-double. Not to mention leading the nation in blocked shots. He entirely changes the defensive end of the floor.

/edited to say Swat actually led the nation in shot blocks

 

[DawgatAuburn]

....but there is still way too much love for Tyler Smith in this conference. Good player, yes. One of the top five/six, no.

D@A's All SEC Team
Shan Foster
Jamont Gordon
Devan Downey
Richard Hendrix
Chris Lofton

Hon Mention: Rhodes, Curtis, Ogilvy, T Smith, Thornton
