Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Congrats to Otto Porter and Doug McDermott on being named consensus All Americans.

Hope Dougie McBuckets comes back next year to try and get a 3rd 1st Team All American nod.

Was Semaj Christon a Consensus All American or is there a distinction between just being an All American ?

Consensus means all of a select set of prestigious All American rosters had the player. Semaj was not the same All American, anyways, he was a Freshman All American.

whoops, yea, that is on a whole different level of prestige

Not to downplay Semaj, though, still an awfully impressive honor.

I think the consensus All Americans are the five players who received the most cumulative points among the major voting services: AP, USBWA, and a couple of others.

here are the results for All American
The four groups used to select consensus teams are the Associated Press, The National Association of Basketball Coaches, the United States Basketball Writers Association and Sporting News magazine.Consensus All-America Standings
