Well deserved.  Congrats!!!

[Daledangdarn]

Awesome, congrats Shavon!

[Norm Peterson]

Very well deserved.  How many conference freshman honors have any of our players received over the last dozen years or so?  I'd hazard a guess of not many.  And Shavon has now been honored twice?  Good for him.  And good for us.

yay, shavon!!! always a good sign when you rack up a few of those in this league. and there's some pretty good freshmen out there.

First team Freshman All-Conference?  I'd say so.

 

That is, if the B1G has such an all-conference team.

 

Kid is a lot better than I thought he would be.  I like being wrong in this instance.

Best part about him is we get 3 more years!

yes.  pretty exciting to finally have an outstanding freshman that also has his head on straight.  can't see Shavon making his sophomore debut 40lbs overweight or jacking items from teammates' lockers.  knock on wood

Lol, I am one more Joe McCray away from losing it.

I don't know,  with all this talent coming in next year, were is he going to get his minutes.

Gary Harris, MSU

AJ Hammons, Purdue

Nick Stauskas, Michigan

Mitch McGary, Michigan

Glenn Robinson III, Michigan

Shavon Shields, Nebraska

Yogi Ferrell, Indiana

Sam Dekker, Wisconsin

That is 9.  Anyone I am missing?  I would think the first team would be made up of 5 of those 9 off the top of my head.

Besides Shields, have any of those players been freshman of the week more than one time this season?

That's pretty good company he's keeping though.

[Norm Peterson]

Here's guessing he doesn't make it two weeks in a row.

 

(Sorry Shavon.)

[hhcmatt]

That's the nature of freshmen...they're often inconsistent

[BigTexHusker]

He's played great under tough circumstances all year, and to add some icing, I for one think he'll improve vastly from this season to next.  His ceiling is high, and the nice thing about that is he's not standing at the bottom looking up at that high ceiling.  His Freshman season has him with a huge head start compared to the majority of D1 kids his age!

 

Cheers to Shavon

[PimpMario]

Congrats to Shileds.  He has had some tough games but shown resiliency since I posted a thread telling people to calm down.

[Hooper]

Shavon will learn from both the ups and the downs this season. When he doesn't play all that well, he can study what went wrong and try to improve. 

 

He's already well ahead of schedule in my book. I don't know many who expected him to play this well so quickly. He was also reported by Rivals to be 6'4", only to report at 6'6", which was another pleasant surprise.
