[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1409669, member: 7292"] That is an exaggeration, for a player who no one could match up with, it is certainly a big surprise that he only got Honorable Mention and not 1st, 2nd or even 3rd All-B1G team on either poll. It was certainly enjoyable to see him come to life and become very solid after a disappointing freshman season where most fans expected more, but you are exaggerating in your evaluation of him. I thought Dee certainly deserved the accolades and 1st team unanimous selection on both polls that year. Was he much improved from 2005? I do not think so, but his senior year certainly cemented his place as arguably the most impactful personality in modern illini history, truly exemplifying the Fighting Illini spirit and becoming the poster boy of college basketball in that era.
