I guess the votes didn't go Calipari's way despite his dozens of 5-Star recruits...
..and only one UK kid named on the all Conf. teams!

I have a real issue with a 1st yr player being selected to an all conf team when he has yet to play a game!

I don't care how good he is, you should have to earn those honors, especially in a BCS conf

It is a preseason all conference team. In the BCS conferences, I am sure they have a pretty good idea what an incoming player's abilities are. Now as the season unfolds that pick may be proven wrong, but we will have to wait and see.

As for Kentucky not being the preseason favorite, it just gives them some added fuel to play that much harder and prove them wrong.
