Posted by George Hershey on November 11th, 2013

The RTC Big East microsite writers have put together their Preseason Awards and First Team. Some quick notes on the group:

  • There is lots of experience on the first team. Semaj Christon is the only player who isn’t a senior.
  • Doug McDermott and Christon are newcomers to the Big East and arguably the two best players in the league. It will be interesting to see how they adjust to the tougher competition, and how the other teams adjust to them.
  • No team had more than one player receive any award.
  • The freshmen selected are great players and are expected to contribute from the start, a big reason why they were picked. There may be some freshmen with more talent, such as Brandon Austin and JaJuan Johnson, but they may not have as big a role this year as Billy Garrett and Rysheed Jordan.
