Great stuff. I agree with Leo being a possible All-American, although I just can’t imagine teams continuing to put a short stick on him (I was surprised that Maryland never poled him). I also agree that Rice has been our best player on defense this year! I think Thomson is a star, but he just has to show it. If Spallina, Leo, Kohn, and Mark can all be All-Americans (1st, 2nd, or 3rd team), then that would be awesome and I think we could make some noise this year. I think that‘s a big If though. The appetizer of our season has now ended (with the exception of Maryland), and as we start the main course of our season, I’ll be looking for who will be able to step up to an All American level and carry this team back to the Final Four, or at least just the playoffs. If we don’t have at least a few players playing at a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team All American level, then we may get exposed by the better teams. I don’t care too much about individual points (which can be racked up against weaker teams) or even losing an early season close game against a great team like Maryland, because I’m more interested in looking for potential All-Americans or for any team glaring weaknesses. I don’t think we have any locks for making the All-American team, but I agree that we have multiple potential players that could make it, which is exciting! Having All-Americans on your team means that they can carry your team against the best teams and in the biggest moments. Virginia looks too good this year, but we always play them tough, and if we have All Americans of our own, then who knows?!
