Interesting Lillis had the lowest scoring average(13.4ppg) of the 5 mentioned but still made 2nd team, he must be very respected in Iowa!!!

I've been away for a week so I'm just catching up on some posts. In our brief D1 history I don't recall us every having a first team all state player before. This year we have one first team, a second team (Lillis) and a third team (Dyson). I was curious where the other first team all-state players from Iowa were going and was pretty impressed:

Alex Thompson-Iowa

Jimmie Binnie-Dayton

Jason Bohannon-Just a sophmore, supposedly being recruited by Arizona.

Carlton Reed-Iowa

Brent Wilson-Albany

Pretty good company. We've been following Lillis in part because he has been easier to find media coverage about. Meanwhile Brent Wilson has been having a terrific year.
