Message: [QUOTE="LaxAddict38, post: 4984947, member: 9891"] First time commenter, long time reader. I would argue that having All-Americans, as you describe, can actually be a product of winning games. If Cuse beats MD this past weekend on that crease dive I would bet that a couple extra Cuse players would be on the mid-season AA list in a couple weeks. Sergio Perkovic got 1st team AA his senior year over Zach Currier despite Currier having the edge in every statistical category... The reason? Princeton was mediocre and Notre Dame was a top 5 team in the country. It's chicken or the egg, but this team has talent... if they can put together some wins I would expect multiple All-Americans when it is all said and done. Great coaches will tell their players, "You want to be an AA? Be a team player and win games. Almost every starter from the Final 4 gets AA." [/QUOTE]
