Wesley Matthews, Player of the Year

The accolades keep pouring in for Wesley Matthews. Earlier today, the Madison Memorial senior was named was unanimously selected as the Associated Press' Player of the Year. In addition, Matthews was a unanimous first-team all-state selection as well.

Matthews, who capped his high school career by scoring 85 points in his final three tournament games, will join talented backcourt mates Dominic James and Jerel McNeal as freshman at Marquette later this year.

Also, a couple of other 'must-reads' on MU's incoming freshmen :

• This tremendous write-up on Jerel McNeal by Mark Miller on John Dodd's Marquette Hoops site.
• Mark Miller's feature on Dominic James, MU's point guard of the not-too-distant future. James is a leading candidate for Mr. Basketball in Indiana, and was the state's leading scorer this past season.
