Certainly to be named one of the 10 best Collegiate players in America is quite an honor and for that we congratulate Greivis. But in truth the kid deserved clearly to be 1st Team. John Wall might turn out to be the best NBA player of the field but he certainly was not more instrumental in his team’s success then Greivis. In fact all the members of the 1st team were surrounded by much greater talent then #21. Wall had Cousins, another 1st teamer, Patterson and Bledsoe. Switch Wall for Greivis–which team would suffer the most? Same with Scottie Reynolds. Whatever. Greivis final 2 minutes as a Terp will never be forgotten. Even in defeat, Senor Vasquez was an All American!!!
