Yeah like I said, I think he's got the potential to be a big time player, but All Americans put up numbers. I think he will eventually be an AA, but as of right now, he's unproven

Why the **** would anyone put Zbikowski anywhere near All-American teams?

[Unbiased]

Taylor Mays should be on a few second teams.

[Sniper]

What has he proved so far?

I must have missed the memo where Wisconsin Badger players aren't eligible to be all americans.

Travis Beckum was the #1 receiving tight end in college football last year by a substantial amount, coming off a season where he played defensive end/linebacker. ESPN picked CB Jack Ikegwuonu as the preseason defensive player of the year in the big ten. I don't think P.J. Hill has all american caliber ability, but the way Wisconsin runs the football, he has a good shot to make it on production. That's three players who could make it, yet none are listed. At least Beckum and Ikegwuonu should make 2nd teams or better. If Ikegwuonu duplicates his performance last year he should be comfortably in the top of the half of the first round of the draft (gbnreport already has him there).

[DorianSmith]

Where is Bernard and Straughter

[Sniper]

Who would Bernard and Straughter replace?

[bored of education]

J Lehman will make the 2nd team

As long as Ikegwuono doesn't have anymore off the field issues.

Well he was a 3rd team AllAmerican in 2005, and there's not that many well known safeties who do what he does. You can argue Ellison from USC or whatever, it's just a list I threw on there without thinking real hard, it was off the top of my head really. I wouldn't be suprised if Zbiskoskwosksisi was an allamerican this year again.

Only Kenny Phillips or Michael Hamilton would really overtakes the SS position..

It's a terrible year for SS.

c'mon, ya can't leave off Beanie Wells. He's the most talented back in the nation and he will be the full time starter this year for a top 10 team.

More talented than McFadden? I don't think so

[keylime_5]

You can't say he's not as talented as McFadden, Wells was the #1 recruit in the nation coming out of high school, I think Darren was like the #4 RB. Both are really awesome and probably top 5 picks in their respective drafts, but no one is more talented of a RB than Wells. As talented, maybe. But not more. Wells is a bigger, stronger, more power version of Adrian Peterson except a bit slower.

Dude, I agree Wells is a supreme talent with loads of potential, but to say he's more talented than McFadden is a ridiculous assertion at this point. You have to prove it on the field. He did look great last year, but not as great at McFadden. It's like saying that Ronnie Brown is more talented than Ladainian.

"no one is more talented of a RB than Wells"

I'd edit that.

So Kyle Wright is the most talented QB in the country?

[keylime_5]

Wells is as talented as any back in the country. You don't have to be proven to be talented. Somebody said I can't say Wells is as talented as McFadden, they're wrong, he might be more talented than McFadden. McFadden is a great Rb, but he's getting overrated a bit on here, people act like he's the best thing since sliced bread. Flavor of the week I'd say.

Kyle Wright is not that talented apparently. If you suck then you can't be that talented. To be considered talented in football you have to at least have benefit of the doubt by not having played much.

i'm talking about in college football right now, not all time or in all of football or anything.

Wasn't Anthony Morelli #2 in that class? ;)

[kmartin575]

Not much love for Missouri's talented tight ends, Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman. They are certainly the best tandem in the country at TE.
