A lot of that is pretty dead on. Very good job of giving most of the 4 real big ten teams.
Just a few comments...what about Marcus Landry? Third leading scorer, 2nd rebounder on a top 10 team. Seems to deserve some honorable mention.

As for the national stuff, I'd expect a lot of national magazines and such to load the all-american team with bigs. Simply put, Love and White have both been better than Gordon. Also, I'd have Nelson or Singler on that 3rd team.

Finally, Bruce Pearl is tough to top for COY. But Painter is definitely top 3.
