Jackrabbit Mens Basketball All D1 Team

I realize I don't write much about either of the basketball teams but Mike Daum reaching 3,000 points makes me realize how lucky we have been to see some great basketball the last 10 years.  For fun, I put together my Jackrabbit All-D1 lineup.  I'd love to hear your thoughts and who you think belongs on this list. 1st Team: PG: Nate Wolters SG: Deondre Parks SF: Reed Tellinghuisen PF: Mike Daum C: Cody Larson I think you would be hard pressed to find another mid-major school who could build a better starting five (not counting Gonzaga) in the last dozen years.  Wolters, Parks, and Daum could/can score however they want while Tellinghuisen and Larson filled the stat sheet in so many other ways.  Wolters and Parks have enjoyed stellar international playing careers while Tellinghuisen passed on that opportunity and chose to get into the coaching ranks.  Daum may get drafted and if not will certainly get an opportunity in the Summer League which should turn into a train
