He did, the post wasn't up when I compiled the list, just the defensive POY.No Trent on All-defensive team? That is the biggest letdown of all time! Players averaged almost 6 points less a game when he guarded them than they did in other games!!
Kind of disappointed for Miller not to be on Freshman team, but he is developing and getting plenty of minutes. Hope he uses this as fuel just like Ayo uses this as fuel not winning the whole thing, or co player (although in all seriousness, Garza is a great player as much as I hate to say someone from Iowa - though I really don't mind Weiscamp and Garza other than floppy elbows does not really bother me in all seriousness - it's more of the McCaffrey/in general Iowa I have issues with). I'm sure the bigger will be Howard will COY and Illinois not being co-champs although they should.Full summary of Illini awards:
- Kofi and Ayo all-B1G first team consensus
- Trent honorable mention all-B1G - consensus
- Curbelo all-B1G freshman team
- Curbelo B1G 6th man of year
Not sure how we are defining 'consensus', but doesn't the media has Kofi as second team?Full summary of Illini awards:

Whew, thanksHe did, the post wasn't up when I compiled the list, just the defensive POY.
No, Kofi is on the first team on both lists.Not sure how we are defining 'consensus', but doesn't the media has Kofi as second team?
Big Ten website has them both 1st team Coaches and MediaNot sure how we are defining 'consensus', but doesn't the media has Kofi as second team?
Most definitely.Was looking at the criteria for having their jersey hung from the rafters (https://fightingillini.com/sports/2018/1/10/mens-basketball-honored-jerseys.aspx).
Players selected to have their jerseys hung must have achieved any of the following criteria:
1) National Player of the Year
2) Enshrined in the National Basketball Hall of Fame
3) U.S. Olympian
4) Big Ten Player of the Year
5) Consensus First- or Second-Team All-American
6) Illinois All-Century Team Member
7) Individual whose pioneering efforts made a significant impact on Illinois and international basketball
Ayo will get there with First Team All-American.
Kofi is second team in the Sporting News B1G honors.Not sure how we are defining 'consensus', but doesn't the media has Kofi as second team?
That's for their all-american awards. However I think people are conflating consensus (coaches and media) with unanimous which means every eligible voter selected a player.Kofi is second team in the Sporting News B1G honors.
AP News & Sporting News follow the old school format of creating a "balanced" team, they left Kofi off since he and Garza are traditional Centers.Confusing...Kofi is 2nd team AP. But 1st team media.
Yeah, I got confused. I had it correct before, then second-guessed and changed it.That's for their all-american awards. However I think people are conflating consensus (coaches and media) with unanimous which means every eligible voter selected a player.
All-Glue team?Feel like Damonte should have gotten more recognition in his time here.
