All-MVC 2009-10

[electricmayhem]

Who would you put on the All-MVC 2009-10 Team? I know it's May, but it's never too early!

Here's my take:

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! !!!! That's all i can say about this! You really should look in to stand-up comedy.

I think you should use a different picture of yourself. Seriously, I almost did not read the article. Oh…it can be, and is, too early.

So it's not too early to say that EO will be 1st team all-Valley for the 2010-2011 season! :lol:

It's never too early to talk about the greatness that is :poster_eo:

Thanks for the laugh. When will you write a serious article about the MVC?

Perhaps I am missing something here.......

It may be early, but it's fun.

As it stands, I don't see any big problems with his picks.

Some issues:

As the author stated, Young's trendline is down. Not sure he'll deserve a 1st-team pick.

If MSU has help for Weems won't look quite as good. SIU's Freeman (Iowa transfer) may be a better pick.

I have no problem with no Shockers appearing. We're going to be seriously balanced. But I could see Toure or even Clevin deserving a mention.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see Durley on one of the lists.

[SpanglerFan316]

It's far too early for such a list. Will UNI be as good next year as it was this year? My guess is "No." We don't know which players (or teams) will have improved. The conference is in flux right now.

As it stands, I don't see any big problems with his picks.

Here is one example. The article lists "G – Kevin Dillard – Southern Illinois" on the projected second team but fails to mention Toure' Murry, who some thought should have been the MVC FOY, anywhere at all.

There is no doubt that Murry will be an excellent player, but right now I don't see him as one of the top guards in the MVC. He didn't have a good shooting season at all, and save for a few games, he disappeared offensively in the last two months of the season.

Did I do something to make this board think that I'm joking with my articles? Like I've said before, I'm simply trying to get the MVC as much exposure as possible. You haven't seen most of my work posted here because it doesn't pertain to WSU, but the pieces I write about the league, I like sharing. I've always respected WSU fans since I started at Bradley more than 10 years ago. Randy Smithson was one of my first interviews, and he was a class guy with me.

BTW -- Congrats on the All-Sports Trophy. :yahoo:

It will depend on what teams perform well and those teams will place players on the AllValley teams. If we win games Toure and JT will show, at least.

My three biggest problems with this list are:

1. Having two teams get two players each on the first team. This has less to do with talent evaluation than in knowing that all conference teams just don't normally work this way. The league winner may get two spots, but you are unlikely to have two teams get that honor.

2. I really don't see Odiakosa being a 1st team selection. He is a fine player, but not the kind of player that gets selected for 1st team honors (maybe that kind of player should, but they just don't). I think he is an easy choice to repeat on the all defense team, and may get on one of the lower all conference lists, but not first team. To a lesser extent, I think the same holds true for Ahelegbe.

3. Eglseder is a question mark in my mind as well. As good as he is, I'm not sure that you can give all-conference honors to a guy that struggles to average 20 minutes a game. If his conditioning improves, the pick is certainly viable (and maybe even first team), but given his frame, I think there may be inherent limits on the minutes he can play.

Reasonable list.
