Be poy

I've been surprised to see some people not even putting Howard on their freshman first team. Lots of love for Ponds, LoVett, Baldwin, Powell, and Patton. Personally I think it's insane to leave him off the first team, but there's a decent number of quality freshmen in the league.

That bodes well for the league, as I think Patton is the only one that should be going to the League after this season.
Big East overall might be even better next year. Funny, one team I think could be a bit worse than this year - DePaul.

I would have said Hart for sure, but reading that Delgado has 16 double doubles in 17 games and 13.9 rebounds per game? That is a big time stat. As Phantom pointed out, Martin and Gaston are tied for second with 6.6rpg. Add both of those two together and you still don't have as many as Delgado. While Hart will get it, Delgado deserves something for that.

Looking back, the current Big East record is held by Dejuan Blair, who averaged 12.3 per game. Add that to 15.7 ppg and he was Big East POY.

D. Blair: 12.3 rpg + 15.7 ppg = Big East POY
Delgado: 13.9rpg + 16.2 ppg = Runner Up?

I'm not sure the BE has a "first-team all-freshman team."

I may be wrong, but I think they put as many on the team as they think deserve the honor. I belive I have seen six on the team some years and even seven.

My guess is that there will be at least six - Markus, Ponds, LoVett, Patton, Baldwin, and Powell - and that Sam could also make the team as he has had more of an impact than players like Cyrus of DePaul, Diallo of Providence, Mosely of GTown, and Goodin of Xavier.

It will, however, be interesting to see how the league deals with DiVincenzo of Nova, who is, technically, a freshman even though he played in a few games last year (74 minutes) before being out for the season with an injury. His stats are not all that impressive, but he has been averaging over 25 mpg in BE games, and he has been an important part of that team's success. Not sure how he will be viewed when it comes time to select the all-frosh team.

Wow, those are some impressive numbers. I haven't seen his name in any mock drafts so I think he will be back.
I'd have to give him some consideration based on those numbers.
