Maybe my eye sight is failing me, but I don't see a twerp on that list. Congratulations Brian and Ryan. Go Duke!

Awesome! Congratulations, guys. I wish that these academic honors got more national media exposure, but I guess these days the focus is less on 'student' and more on 'athlete.'

Does Z have any eligibility if he goes to grad school? For the first time in his career, I'd actually love to see it

No. He has used all of his eligibility

Noticed the same thing. Attached is a link on Maryland's site for Academic Honors. I thought this was odd for a university of higher education that graduates 10% of their basketball players. The last member was in the 2000-2001 school year. Notice the names, they are also Maryland's top players.

I wish RKelly was rewarded for his on court performance instead, but that may be years away.
