[CyTwins]

Nothing surprising there. No way Graham wins POY though

 

[Playboi Carti]

Not a lot of big names this year

 

[rholtgraves]

Surprised Graham was the choice. I thought it would be Carter.

 

[jbindm]

Can't say I'm surprised by any of those selections. Frankly, I'm glad to see ISU ommitted. I'm guessing that Donovan Jackson and some of the other guys play a little better when they feel they've been slighted.

Isn't the TCU dude like really skinny? I can just picture it in my head that he tries to go inside against Young or Lard and they're like "get your skinny butt out of here" and then one of the ISU guards steals the ball from him and we're off and running...

 

[mj4cy]

Graham is good, but because he's on Kansas, he has to be the best this year.

He's a little on the slender side but he held his own last season and I would think he's added weight over the summer. He's a good player and he deserves that selection.

 

[1977clone]

so... 3 from Kansas, 2 for Baylor, TT, TCU, and OK, no one from KSU or the good guys... Not A CHANCE that is the way the year plays out. Probably just the easiest way to pick a list

And Bamba is going to be better than our 5star LW? Yeah, whatever...

 

[bozclone]

I think the post season honors are going to look a lot different. Not a lot of clear cut studs like years past.

 

[rholtgraves]

Also, I would have thought Andrew Jones would get an honorable mention.

 

[surly]

Believe Jeffrey Carroll is wrapped in the FBI thingy. Will be interesting to see if he makes it through the season. But agree, that's a pretty uninspiring list by Big12 standards.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Nothing surprising there. No way Graham wins POY though

I think Graham is going to really miss Frank Mason...

 

[surly]

vlad and zach probably aren't there end of the season. the others are pretty solid. that assumes carroll is around after the fbi thingy.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Not a lot of big names this year

That was my first impression. Very good players, but not ones that you'd necessarily see on the first team in a strong year.

 

[SolarGarlic]

Surprised to see people knock Brodziansky. He's not skinny, he's almost 7 feet tall and moves very well. He was much improved last season and I assume he will make another leap this season. He's definitely worthy of 1st team.

 

[NWICY]

Welp time to prove them wrong. Take it to them Young, Jackson & Co.

Whar Lard?

 

[Dingus]

Preseason 1st team more or less looks like every returning non ISU player I can name off the top of my head.

 

[AmesHawk]

Can't believe Perry Ellis got snubbed on the Preseason B12 Team.
