Congratulations to Devonté!

As noted in the pinned "Jersey in the Rafters" post, TSN is just one of the 4 major AA teams that the NCAA uses to build its "Consensus AA" teams. The other major AA teams used are published by the AP, the NABC, and the USBWA.

I have been searching the Net for news on AA lists, and as noted in the pinned "Rafters" thread Devonté has earned First Team AA status from USAToday and NBC Sports.

I also see today that Andy Katz on NCAA.com has named Devonté to his first team, with Jalen Brunson as his choice for NPOY. Again, this is one person's list, and even though published on NCAA.com website, it is not used in determining who the NCAA D1 Consensus First Team All-Americans will be.

Bleacher Report named Devonté 2nd team.

Seems every hoops website is coming up with their own All American lists, mostly just 1 or 2 guys publishing their favorites.

The plus for Devonté is that all but one of the lists I have seen so far have him as first team AA, so here's hoping the AP, USBWA and NABC agree!

Rivals.com national analyst Eric Bossi has published his 2017-18 list (linked here, not sure if it is a general public or subscription only article), and once again Devonté is on the first team.

Devonté Graham, KANSAS
DeAndre Ayton, Arizona (and some pungent remarks about how everyone thought he was going to KU until he didn't)
Jalen Brunson, Villanova
Marvin Bagley III, Duke
Trae Young, Oklahoma
