I'm guessing that winning Summit League Athlete of the Month - for ALL conference men's sports, not just basketball - in the only two months that your sport qualified for the honor, might be a harbinger of hardware-to-come for Max on Thursday.

As you say, it should be a no-brainer...or a very cruel consolation prize.

Yeah. Playing at Rupp Arena in front of 24,000 fans, adored by millions, being coached by a hall of famer, on national TV every night would suck. 

Does he want to be a big fish in a little pond or a very little fish in a HUGE pond?:)  Question he has to answer for himself. Of course as bad as Kentucky is this year maybe that is not the case. 

At ORU he does anything he wants as far as shot selection or the way he plays. At Kentucky he would drastically have to change his game. 

You are right it would be great to play on TV every game and get yelled at by his coach. How about playing 15 minutes a game and being a spot up shooter instead of controlling the game. That is big adjustment. 

Be interesting to see what he does. 

I don't know anything about the coaching staff there now or what type of people they are so can't say how enjoyable they are to play for.

  • Old Titan changed the title to Max Abmas (and Kevin Obanor!) 2020-21 Honors

This USBWA All-District team (chosen by media) is a MUCH more select distinction than the NABC district team (chosen by coaches):  NABC District 12 is just two mid-major conferences (Summit League and Horizon League); USBWA District VI is geographic, including all the "Power 5" teams in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

VERY select company for Max - the ONLY mid-major player on the 10-man team!

AP All American Honorable Mention is also a great honor.  Congratulations to Max!  This honor is well deserved.
