I am also very impressed by Ochai and his family's character. In fact, I think this team is made up of high character people that are also doing very well academically. Makes it even easier to pull for them.

!st team AA is a really impressive feat. It sounds like the whole team is doing pretty well academically which I agree makes them easier to root for.

As of 2022-03-16 Ochai is a Consensus First Team All American, having been honored by:

AP
The Sporting News
National Association of Basketball Coaches

Of the four awarding sources the NCAA uses to confer “consensus” status, only the US Basketball Writers Association has yet to announce its All American teams. That announcement should come any day now, and we can expect that announcement to make Ochai a “Unanimous” first team AA. The only higher individual player award is to be named a National Player of the Year.

Heartiest of congratulations to the young man!
