From the MVC site:
Preseason poll wasn't that far off...almost everyone picked UNI and they won by 3 games. Everyone picked the Aces last and were rewarded. SIU was the only big loser....the Shocks a little suprising winner.
2009-10 MVC Preseason All-Conference Team
Kwadzo Ahelegbe, UNI, G
Osiris Eldridge, Illinois State, G
Tony Freeman, Southern Illinois, G
Adam Koch, UNI, F
P'Allen Stinnett, Creighton
Josh Young, Drake, G
HM: Kevin Dillard, Southern Illinois; Clevin Hannah, Wichita State; Jake Kelly, Indiana State; Sam Maniscalco, Bradley; Harry Marshall, Indiana State; Toure' Murry, Wichita State
Preseason Player of the Year -- Osiris Eldridge, Illinois State
A few more misses here. Kwazdo was good, but probably not as good as last year. I'm guessing HM
Osiris..tough call....goes off at times. Disappeard others. Still a 1st teamer I'd bet.
Tony Freeman....lol. Transfer/Saluki combo hype. Won't be anywhere.
Adam Koch...as advertised. My guess for MVP.
P'Allen Stinnett....P'Bu Bye.
Josh Young....better complimentary player than star by himself. 2nd or HM.
Kevin Dillard...probable HM...maybe not. Clevin Hannah...might make first team, but as much as I love him, his defense left the team exposed A LOT late in the year. A winner, a fighter and a GREAT shooter, but not first team. 2nd for me. Jake Kelly..injured, tough call. Sam Maniscalco..probable 2nd team. Kid's a winner. Reminds me of Bryan Mullins with a little less D and a LOT more O. Harry Marshall...again injured but a tough matchup for everyone. Off court problems will derail top spots...probable HM. Toure' Murry...struggled offensively, especially late in the season. Everything else in his game is outstanding. HM
POY Osiris....interesting that it could be between 2 players on the same 3rd place team. Odiakosa gets my vote....but it should be close.
