Most valuable player: Jerel McNeal.

Great to see Jerel get the kind of respect he deserves. I love Dominic, but I really think Jerel is our best player.

I just can't believe Kinsella didn't win anything.

And I can't believe we have an award named after Bart Miller.

I was out a few days this week so sorry this is coming late.

This was my 3rd awards banquet and I don't know about any of you but I thought this one was the best ever.  The players were very accessible if you wanted to talk with them, had a lot of fun talking with Fitz, Barro, Burke, Matthews, McNeal and DJ they all seem like a very nice group of guys.  I enjoyed the assistant coaching "stations" got to talk to the coach Rabs about why they do certain things on the floor and had them explain the offense to me, and things like that.  My Dad won a basketball that all the players and Coach signed for him, so that was fun.  The food was 100 times better then any of the past awards banquets, nice piece of beef that wasn't over-cooked and dry with some giant prawns.  I liked not having a speaker, I thought the event was better without a Digger or a Seth Davis (though Davis was more entertaining then Digger was for me).

I hope they do the awards banquet like this forever!

He finished graduate school at MIT I believe.  Great kid, outstanding student.

He is with an Architecture firm in Atlanta and is working on the design of the new University of Louisville Arena.

I have no doubt he's a great kid and was an outstanding student. He just shouldn't have a basketball award named after him.

Haha.....I'm pretty sure Amoroso would have been the inaugural recipient.

Btw, isn't the Miller award more for academic/off-court achievement then on-court?

Why?  The kid was a 4 year letter winner and did an incredible job in the classroom and outside of it.  I see zero problems with having that kind of award, showing that some people can do both.

Lighten up, Francis.

The award is named after Bart Miller because of his academics. These players go to Marquette UNIVERSITY, not Marquette Professional Basketball Club.

The team should recognize players with strong academics.
