Thanks a lot, Jason.

As for Connecticut, they won’t be national championship good but should be in the top half of the conference for sure. With basically everyone except Kemba back, the Huskies have a really solid core to work with. Continued improvement from Lamb, Oriakhi, Napier, Smith and even a guy like Coombs-McDaniel should put them in the top 25. Ryan Boatright is also a pretty good player coming in as a freshman but Lamb will be the man next year on this team.

Anything out of Giffey and Olander would be gravy next year. Could Enosch Wolf be the next big man Calhoun turns into a serviceable contributor?

Great article, but no mention of the national champs in the next year section?

It’s just that, an opinion and mine alone. No agenda here, Chad. I felt he was the best player. The “sorry, Jimmer” line was my way of saying I disagreed with the national consensus.

Kemba was also voted POY by our RTC panel.

im confused, where does it say that kemba was the nations best player…… im curious…… i thought this matter was sown up with jimmer acquiring a little title you might of heard of called the CONSENSUS NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD….. sorry kemba….. there are like six major awards that shouldve totally put this discussion to bed…… little hometown agenda sites like this just refuse to except the obvious……. thats ok though, if any readers here get confused or have any questions do to this hometown push, dont fret, all one has to do is google the words, — 2011 rupp, naismith, wooden, ap, and the oscar robinson award and the universe will be immediately put back in order as u will find that without a doubt jimmer fredette is college basketballs NO DOUBT whatsoever POY…. so to this website, theres no need to apologize to jimmer fredette….. we all are allowed to have our opinion, fortunately for jimmer, urs just doesnt matter at all in the big scheme of things…. The Consensus player of the year is still the consensus player of the year…. the best thing you can do is simply Fredette about it…….

ps i mean to take nothing away from kemba, he was the best player on the best team in the country. thats quite an honor in itself… i just get sick at publications and their lack of professionalism with their little shots at the National player of the year…. the little “sorry jimmer” comments are just petty and simple in my opinion… in looking at the two seasons these two player produced, it should be a no brainer who was the better player…. jimmers team was consistently ranked higher… he averaged 5 more points per game. shot much better from the field, from the line, and the three point line… jimmer had monster games all year…. and was consistently doing work all year long…. kemba disappeared for half the reg season…. its a no brainer…..
