Not sure when the real all American lists come out but this one is Jeff Borzello’s fromESPN.
So far the couple media AA lists I’ve seen all have Shead on it.
@Hill ive seen consistently Edey, Knecht, Shead, Rj Davis
Those 4 seem like locks
Then the 5th is either:
*Tristen Newton (UCONN)
*Caleb Love (Arizona)
*Tyler Kolek (Marquette)
Kolek’s injury will keep him off the 1st team.

It’s amazing what a conference change can do for the perception of our players. I hope that we have some real Heisman contenders in the near future on the football side too.
What makes a consensus AA?
Interesting. So there are always consensus all Americans every year.
When is the last time that we had a first team all american?
Last year. Marcus was a first team
Was Sasser first team or second team?
What publication is that?
Marcus was 1st team in every publication except Sporting News (where he was 2nd team).
2nd team
Highlighting his stats vs depaul
Filed of 68, TSN, ESPN’s lists are all the same for first team so it’s looking like a consensus pick. I think Gottlieb was saying Kolek possibly over Shead but he said Shead is a solid pick.
Other than that, I’m not seeing any talking heads argue against Shead. I think his EvanMiya ranking being so high is driving the argument that 20ppg isn’t the only metric they should be looking at.
Mateen Cleaves made second team in 99-00 and he was a lot like Shead. Shead is a much better defender though so that is why he’s a consensus first teamer. Having back-to-back guards make the first team plus the success of Gray, Davis, and Grimes just makes us a top destination for guards that want to play here.
Good time to be a Coog fan.
2 straight 1st team All Americans! Congrats to Shead!
