[Amesboy]

Great honor for Melvin 2nd Team All-American WOW ! Congrats to him. DeAndre should have at least made 3rd team but congrats to Mr. Kane making honorable mention All-American.

Kane deserves to be higher, but still awesome news!

Agree Kane could have been voted higher, but he also was one of only four honorable mentions w/ a first-team vote (along with Payne, Smart and VanVleet).

He's on ISU fans' All-America team anyway.

 

[Amesboy]

No Marble.

Not to offend anyone but did this surprise anyone. I felt he was over-hyped and over-rated. Talented but not consistent and not a clutch player. Man can you imagine how steamed Pops SR. must be.

[ThurgoodMarshal]

So proud of our guys and so happy to see them getting a little recognition this season.

 

[im4cyclones]

Can't believe Kane wasn't higher. He had an unbelievable year. Proud of Mel however.

 

[cyclones12321]

Congrats to both

 

[Cycsk]

Kane was really, really good. He was understated.

DeAndre Kane, Iowa State (1 first-team vote). Wonder who gave him this vote.

 

[Cycl1]

Someone who watched him play.

 

[cyatheart]

Kane was robbed, but glad to see Melvin get recognized. DMR says only 4 others have that honer...Thompson, Grayer, Fizer, Tinsley

 

[Dingus]

May be a silly question, but are these the 'real' AA teams? Seems like I've seen a few of these lists.

And Kane deserved 3rd team at the least; no offense to those guys but Early and Fair should not be above him on this. Or Russ Smith IMO.

Hard to argue with you there.

Early's only stat line that boosts him over Kane is FT%; Russ Smith had 3pt% and steals going for him, but overall numbers less impressive than Kane, on a similarly-seeded team.

Kane: 17.1, 6.8, 5.9, 39.8% 3PT, 1.2 steals (full season; AP stats were thru March 16)
Early: 15.8, 5.9, 2.0, 84% FT
Smith: 18.3, 3.4, 4.7, 40.5% 3PT, 2.1 steals
Fair: 16.7, 6.2 scoring/reb

Wilbekin might have gotten a nod because voters felt they had to include somebody from the top-ranked team and No. 1 overall seed. Early is not a surprise, for a similar reason of team's regular-season prominence.
