The Georgetown Hoyas' excellent season was rewarded today as three Hoyas were named to All-Big East teams. Jason Clark earned 1st Team honors, Henery Sims earned 3rd Team accolades, and Hollis Thompson was named as Honorable Mention.
Perhaps most curious however, was freshman forward Otto Porter, considered by many to be one of the top freshman in the nation, being left off the All-Rookie Team.
All-Big East after The Jump:
For the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team, the coaches included the two top freshman scorers in the league, St. John's teammates D'Angelo Harrison and Moe Harkless.
