Lasan Kromah, 2009-10.

Wow, long time.  Would've guessed TNJr or Garino but had a feeling it had been that long.

Didn't Jamison make it two seasons ago?

You are right. I was looking in the most recent A10 media guide, which was put out before the 19-20 season. I don’t know why they haven’t put one out the last two seasons. But Battle was on the all rookie team at the end of that year.

Here is the complete list of GW players to make the Rookie/Freshman Team:

19-20 - Jamison Battle
09-10 - Lasan Kromah
06-07 - Damian Hollis
03-04 - Carl Elliott and Danilo Pinnock
02-03 - Mike Hall
01-02 - T.J. Thompson
99-00 - SirValient Brown (ROY) and Chris Monroe
97-98 - Mike King
95-96 - Yegor Mescheriakov and Shawnta Rogers
94-95 - Alexander Koul (ROY)
92-93 - Yinka Dare (ROY) and Vaughn Jones
89-90 - Sonni Holland
88-89 - Clint Holtz
87-88 - Glen Sitney
85-86 - Moti Daniel
83-84 - Tim Dawson
82-83 - Troy Webster (ROY)
81-82 - Mike Brown (ROY)
80-81 - Wilbert Skipper (first year the A10 had a rookie team)

Great find, interesting list

from 92-99 GW had 8 players on the all rookie team including 3 different ROYs

post 2007, we've had only 2 players in 15 years make an all rookie team.

Suprisingly, none from the ML years

All Rookie Team by Coach:

Jarvis   6
Hobbs 6
Penders 3
ML  0
Mojo  1

In 2007 we had 13 All Rookie players in the prior 14 seasons and 8 NCAA Trips. 4 for Jarvis 1 for Penders and 3 for Hobbs

Since 2007 we've had 2 All Rookie players and 1 NCAA trip in 15 years.

No A10 first teamers under Lonergan either, although he did have 3 second teamers, 2 of them in his last year. Also Yuta won Defensive POY after Lonergan left, and Kevin Larsen won Most Improved one year under him.

And yet, three NBA players from ML recruits.

Great point.  He certainly brought the best out of the players that could deal with his issues.

It’s hard for me to see him not making all league, unless they let transfer newcomers or second year freshmen.  But among freshmen, Holmes and smith from Dayton are locks.  Erik Reynolds and Brayon feel pretty safe.   Kobe Brea probably should be on it, though at 8ppg he could get snubbed.

The only other serious contender I can think of is Amir Spears from Duquesne, who is averaging 12ppg so if voters just look at scoring leaders, he’ll make it.


As a side note, the Big 12 did separate categories for all-rookie and All-newcomer, with all-newcomer basically being transfers (Isaiah Brockington, who played for the Bonnies and Penn St won it).

If they have all-newcomer, I would think JoeBam is a shoe in for the team, though Foster Loyer probably wins newcomer of the year.

It's all about developing talent. A great coach once said it's not how good they are when they come to me but how good they are when they leave.

The SUCK continues into year 7 of the post Knapp/Maltzman/Nero era! 

Raise High! or just high enough to avoid the Tue night play-in games for 11-14
