Hayward makes All Big East 2nd Team. Butler, honorable mention
Written by: noreply@blogger.com (muwarrior92)
The Big East conference announced their All Big East teams this morning. Marquette's Lazar Hayward, a preseason all Big East first team selection, landed on the 2nd team.
A complete list of the teams can be found here. (http://www.bigeast.org/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=19400&ATCLID=204903102)
This is a tremendous honor for Hayward, especially in light of the Big East changing the number of honorees several years ago. It used to be that 11 players made the first team and all rookie teams. Now, only six players make the first team and five additional players make the 2nd and 3rd teams respectively.
Junior forward Jimmy Butler made All Honorable Mention.

I'm guessing you have to be a freshman to make the All-Rookie team and not just new to D1? Why isn't it just called the All-Freshman team then?

I was thinking the same thing, because otherwise DJO certainly belonged on that team.
Hayward and Butler were appropriately assigned, IMO.
My first reaction when I red the article, was that they should be higher (Lazar first team and Jimmie third). Then I looked at the players that made the first, second and third teams. damn the Big east is a hell of a conference!
