My thoughts:
-- Kinda dogshit that Brog missed out on the First Team nod.
-- I like Joe on the Third Team. That's what he earned this season; that's where he belongs. Third team All-ACC, First team in our hearts.
-- Speaking of which, go watch THIS SHIT. Right now. Go.
-- Akil, Honorable Mention. Hockeypucks. But there's THIS that you also need to watch. GO DO THAT, RIGHT NOW. GO, DAMN YOU!
-- Man, I'm really going to miss those guys. But this season isn't over. There's one last chapter to be written in Joe and Akil's UVA careers, the 2014 Postseason.
-- Really pleased to see London Perrantes was the third-leading vote-getter for the All-Frosh Team. He deserved those votes.
-- I'll go ahead and call our shot for 2015's awards:
- Brog: First Team
- London Perrantes: Second Team ('cause he's going to keep shooting and shooting and shooting and shooting)
- Anthony Gill: Third Team
- Justin Anderson: Honorable Mention
-- I know four is a lot to place among ~20 spots in the ACC, but I think we're going to be very good again next season, with those four guys really earning some namebrand sway, some real curb appeal. Plus, Virginia Basketball is suddenly vogue again... for the first time since 1984.

| Thanks, Joe and Akil! |
Akil made 3rd team all acc defense! I don't know how he wasn't the leading vote getter
