Getting in under the deadline...

The official ALL-WAC player selections are to be announced tomorrow and we need to amend our choices. We didn't think it would be necessary and typed as much in our earlier post but we were wrong.

As of Saturday night, it should be:

First Team

Gary Wilkinson - also MVP, Utah State
Jahmar Young, New Mexico State
Mac Hopson, Idaho
Sylvester Seay, Fresno State
Luke Babbitt, Nevada

The Second Team

Roderick Flemings, Hawaii
Wendell McKines, New Mexico State
Armon Johnson, Nevada
Paul George, Fresno State
Jared Quayle, Utah State

If there was a third team, it would be:

Adrian Oliver, San Jose State
Tai Wesley, Utah State
Kyle Gibson, Louisiana tech
C.J. Webster, San Jose State
Magnum Rolle, Louisiana Tech

We moved Jared Quayle to the Second Team and moved Magnum Rolle down as Quayle had a stronger finish and was more of a factor more often than Rolle. However, Rolle's role -- if you will -- was hindered by the presence of Kenneth Cooper for much of the season. Rolle was much more productive after Cooper's suspension and not necessarily because there were more shots to be taken and rebounds to be snared.
