Lol....the SWAC is something else. Congratulations to all honorees, but how did Derrick Griffin win those other categories and not freshman of the year considering he is a freshman?
They didn't want the individual awards to be swept by one player or, better yet, one team.

Also I agree Marcus Romain should've been at least 2nd team ahead of the other two guards listed.

All I can think of is that they didn't want to give him EVERYTHING. LOL

BTW, When was the last time a freshman won Men's POY in the SWAC?

So do you think they should've taken Riley off and had Romain in his place instead? Keep in mind, the other two guards on the second team did lead their teams to a 2nd and 3rd place finish.

If you use that logic, then Tabb shouldn't be on the team either (despite leading the conference in scoring) since they're below Valley in the standings

Looking at all previous Freshmen of the Year awards have went to TRUE freshman. Griffin is a redshirt freshman.

Riley is a statistical leader on the #1 team in the conference and also a Forward. Although Wilson improved YOY, Collins was more of an impact player for the team.

People don't want to see my All-SWAC team... it might make too much sense than this list, but it is what it is. I'm just a guy behind a computer.

I want to see it
 
The SWAC never seems to get it right when it comes to recognizing it's own players......I am sure Romain will be recognized by some organization other than the SWAC.....

I used that logic because Romain is the best player on his team just like Wilson and Collins are for their teams. Riley is the 3RD best player on his team.
 
debating... do I want my teams to do well and have one win the swac tourney and head to the ncaa or... have Griff and TSU dominate the tourney and have Griff destroy a couple of high major squads and be compelled to leave college basketball as a nba draft pick. decisions, decisions

I don't know about that. Riley hit a slump but he is arguably tied for second on this roster. He is probably the best outside shooter on the team.
