CollegeHoops.net's Preseason High-Major All-America Team is dominated by an impressive set of senior guards who are hoping to lead their teams deep into the NCAA Tournament. VCU leader Eric Maynor, a returning 2nd Team High-Major All-American, edged out Pargo and Vaden for Player of the Year honors. Besides Maynor, other returning CHN High-Major All-Americans include Robert Vaden (1st team last year), Jeremy Pargo (3rd team), Lee Cummard (4th team), Dionte Christmas (3rd team), Stefon Jackson (4th team), and Josh Young (4th team).

 

The CollegeHoops.net All-American teams are voted on by staff writers. Coming up later this week is CHN's Mid-Major All-America team.

Nevill

Nevill is so underrated. He puts up numbers, but on a weak team. I guess he's overhyped because he plays a weak position. Dionte Christmas should be 1st team, but all the good players are guards anywys. I'd knock off Pargo to be honest.

Temple/Creighton

Both of these teams are going to be tough to beat this year. Even though I initially had some doubts, Fran Dunphy is doing a great job in Philadelphia and Dana Altman, as always, has his Bluejays in position for the Conference title.

Thoughts on the Mid-Major All-American list

I posted some thoughts on this list including snubs and changes I personally would have made.

Huh?

How the heck is the CAA in a different category than the Horizon League? At best, they're peers, and that's being generous to the CAA.

Based off recent accomplishments, the HL has outperformed the CAA in just about every way year to year (one George Mason FF run being the lone exception). Look back historically, and its not even close, as the MCC/HL makes the CAA look like a low-major.

You should consider fixing this, it's a joke. The HL belongs in this category too.

Umass - Big miss

You missed Chris Lowe - Not only should he vae been mentioned, he should have been a second team choice at worst. There are very few guards in ANY conference that can get the ball up the floor as fast and as efficiently as this kid. He has improved his defense to the point where he is a legitimate stopper and will be a force in the A-10 this year and raise a lot of eyebrows in the process.
