Below are the All-MAC awards as selected by the coaches---they can't vote for their own guys. As you can see, Freeman and Simmons were unanimous choices. I don't have any problem with the guys you see here...Barbee's team was picked last and finished #4.
BG has two guys honored. Marcus Hill is first-team All-MAC, certainly well deserved. And Rashaun Agee was second-team, also well deserved. In fact, he had a first-team All-MAC season, but you can't argue with any of the guys who made it ahead of him. You could say the same for Jihad. That's how it goes sometimes.
Really proud of these guys. Marcus and Rashaun carried this team on their shoulders most of the way. Rashaun might have shown more improvement in one year than any player since Richaun Holmes. Both of them play unbelievably hard on every possession. I thank them for helping to make this an enjoyable year and for being Falcons.
