It seems like if you are going to include Milos Knezevic, Terry Johnson, Marc Sonnen, and Kenny Manigault in the "Most Productive Freshmen" category, then you should probably consider a few others as well.

Jermaine Mallett (MSU)..........26.3 mpg, 7.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 2.9 apg, started 9 of 9, 43.2% 3's
Troy Taylor (UE)..................22.9 mpg, 4.0 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 2.4 apg
Aaron Hawley (DU)...............14.8 mpg, 5.8 ppg, 2.3 rpg
Koang Dolouny (InSU)...........12.9 mpg, 3.2 ppg, 1.6 rpg


If I had to rank the top ten most productive freshmen in the valley so far, it would probably look like this.

Colt Ryan
Ben Simons
Jermaine Mallett
Seth VanDeest
Ned Cox
Ethan Wragge
Kendal Brown-Surles
Troy Taylor
Jackie Carmichael
Dyricus Simms-Edwards

Just Noticed Mallett was a Jr. Disregard that. He's listed as a Freshman on the Yahoo sports site.

Carmichael is a man. He has the body of a junior/senior. The Birds have a good one there.

I tried to list only those who were getting at least double digit minutes or at least 3-4 ppg...
but included a few who even tho lower in production, had gotten a lot of pre-season talk...so they may yet have potential.

First time poster long time creeper. Carmichael has impressed every ISU you fan to the point of wondering maybe how we ended up with this guy. Im not trying to just talk up our best freshman to stir the pot just simply saying. Many are crying for him to play more minutes. Simms-Edwards appears to be a great get for the braves. I personally was disappointed he didnt end up at ISU. I think he might have been hoping for an offer from a bigger conference and when he didnt get one he liked Bradley was there with open arms. One of those kids I think just knows how to play the game and sometimes that doesnt show up on tapes that might have lead people to be a little hesitant of him.

I agree, just from watching him a couple times and looking at his numbers, that Carmichael is the real deal!

I just posted the numbers for Valley freshmen to the Production Per 40 thread.
