Are you kidding me?
John Wall is still in high school, expecting him to be an all-american (Derrick Rose) is simply ludicrous. DUMB.

John Wall hasnt even put on
John Wall hasnt even put on a college uniform yet so he's gotta be excluded. Jujuan Johnson might be a good one to have on that list somewhere.
If the hype is to be
If the hype is to be believed, John Wall will have to be on the list somewhere. He's being projected by many as the top pick in the 2010 NBA draft.

Is nobody going to even put
Is nobody going to even put Gerald Henderson in the running. I mean come on guys, you put Jon Schyer in there before Henderson. Henderson transformed at the end of the season, getting ready to show everybody what kind of a player he is in his senior year. I like the Kyle Singler pick because he does everything but so does Henderson, they both were tied with 16.5 point per game to lead the devils. Nobody even knows who Evan Turner is anyway, get him out of the All American first team. Oh and by the way John Wall is going to Duke.

Yeah! And where's Blake
Yeah! And where's Blake Griffin?
Oh, that's right. He's going pro. Just like Gerald Henderson. Maybe that's why Henderson's not on the team...?
I'm going to go ahead and guess you didn't get into Duke...

2009-10 All Americans
Wow, you were way off last year. I got 4 out of 5 right missing only Harangody.
As for 2009-10, here's my top three All-America teams:
First Team
Jonny Flynn, Syracuse
Stephen Curry, Davidson
Kyle Singler, Duke
Greg Monroe, Georgetown
Cole Aldrich, Kansas
Second Team
Sherron Collins, Kansas
Kalin Lucas, Michigan State
Nick Calathes, Florida
Evan Turner, Ohio State
Al-Farouq Aminu, Wake Forest
Third Team
Jeff Teague, Wake Forest
Scottie Reynolds, Villanova
Jodie Meeks, Kentucky
Robbie Hummel, Purdue
Craig Brackins, Iowa State
Of course this list assumes guys like Curry, Calathes, Aminu, and Meeks will not stay in the draft (and I don't think they will). I'll come up with my final draft sometime before the season kicks off.
FWIW, Dick Vitale, Ken Davis, and Mike Miller all selected Kansas as their National Champion next season.

Singler better than
Singler better than Brackins? Please.

Wall/Henry
You will have to omit some of those names later on to make room for Xavier Henry and John Wall.

Patterson???
No Patrick Patterson? I think he was considered a 2nd or 3rd team this year. If he stays, he is certainly underated and should be at or near the top.

Seth Curry is going to a
Seth Curry is going to a bigger school. That's all im gonna say.

Yeah, and due to transfer
Yeah, and due to transfer rules he can't play until the 2010-11 season.

CHECK THE STATS
For the guy who doesn't know who Evan Turner is, you obviously don't know college basketball. If anyone belongs on the first team All American list it is him. He's one of only two college players to AVERAGE 17 pts 7 rebs and 4 ast.... Clearly one of the most consistant and well rounded players in collegiate play, and the sole reason Ohio State made the NCAA tournament in which he had 25 pts 9 rebs and 8 ast against Siena.

For those of you who say the
For those of you who say the reason John Wall isn't on here is because he's a freshmen...why did John Henson, Lance Stephenson, and Kenny Boynton make this list? It's pretty ridiculous that those guys made it and not Wall

texas longhorns gonna woop up this year!!!!
ummm...how do you have DAMION JAMES not even on here??? he is at least a 2nd team all american!!! duh
he is a beast in the making!!!! come on!

This guys a retard worst
This guys a retard worst guesses ever.

AA
Omar Samhan - Saint Mary's College will be in the mentions come the end of the season when it matters.

Brandon Johnson should be
Brandon Johnson should be mentioned as well.He was the star two years ago on the USD team that upset UConn. He is back and healthy I seen him practicing hes looking explosive once again.
