Has been announced. Apparently I think much higher of Marcus Williams than the Big East Coaches, who put him on the third team. Chris Taft was put on the “Honorable Mention” squad. Ronald Ramon made the All-Rookie team. Here’s how the list looks:

2004-05 All-BIG EAST First Team

Jared Dudley, Boston College, So., 6-7, 220, San Diego, Calif.
Craig Smith, Boston College, Jr., 6-7, 250, Los Angeles, Calif.
Chevon Troutman, Pittsburgh, Sr., 6-7, 240, Williamsport, Pa.
Ryan Gomes, Providence, Sr., 6-7, 240, Waterbury, Conn.
Gerry McNamara, Syracuse, Jr., 6-2, 182, Scranton, Pa.
*Hakim Warrick, Syracuse, Sr., 6-8, 219, Philadelphia, Pa.

2004-05 All-BIG EAST Second Team

Josh Boone, Connecticut, So., 6-10, 237, Mt. Airy, Md.
Charlie Villanueva, Connecticut, So., 6-11, 240, Brooklyn, N.Y.
Carl Krauser, Pittsburgh, Jr., 6-2, 200, Bronx, N.Y.
Allan Ray, Villanova, Jr., 6-2, 200, Bronx, N.Y.
Curtis Sumpter, Villanova, Jr., 6-7, 223, Brooklyn, N.Y.

2004-05 All-BIG EAST Third Team

Marcus Williams, Connecticut, So., 6-3, 205, Los Angeles, Calif.
Brandon Bowman, Georgetown, Jr., 6-8, 219, Santa Monica, Calif.
Chris Thomas, Notre Dame, Sr., 6-1, 190, Indianapolis, Ind.
Daryll Hill, St. John’s, Jr., 6-0, 167, Queens, N.Y.
Randy Foye, Villanova, Jr., 6-3, 205, Newark, N.J.

Five forwards on the six-man 1st team. Well, that’s one way to get very deserving Dudley and Gomes on the squad. I still can’t believe Marcus Williams was dropped so far. I don’t really have much of a problem with Foye getting in over Quinn. I realized late that I left him off my just missing list. Not real sure about Brandon Bowman. He had a solid year, but there were several players I thought were better.

UPDATE: Here’s the press release announcing the squad from the Big East.
