DJO got a little lost in the Jae madness, but this is well deserved. I actually think he's got a better shot at NBA success. Attaboy Darius!!

Awesome news for "All chin & shoulders" - congrats DJO! You'll be missed.

DJO was a rock of consistency this year.  Will be missed and deserves be an all-american.

Was surprised nobody had commented on this during the day, but I guess that "other thread" was distracting.

Congrats DJO - joining the AA ranks.

Would love to see DJO's three-year stats put in perspective with MU's other three-year players.  Like Jimmy Butler, it is simply phenominal what he accomplished in his MU career.

Jimmy, Buycks, DJO and Crowder have played an very important role in MU hoops well beyond their individual achievements.   They provided the talent needed to bridge the gap between the Big Four of the Tom Crean era and the group MU will field next year, which will for the first time be dominated talentwise by Buzz's four-year guys.

Instead of the predicted dip in the program due to very young players thrown into the BEAST grinder, those four delivered two Sweet Sixteens and a 2nd place BEAST finish and left the current crop of now seasoned players in a position to keep the good things going.

Thanks Jimmy, Dwight, Darius and Jae.
