The first in the list of criteria, so it must be pretty important to the committee. This kid's got his head screwed on straight, and works as hard or harder than anyone on the team. His character is the greatest of his many assets. Duncan's grade= A+
Leading the league in scoring isn't bad. Neither is "near the top" in the nation. Duncan's grade= A
All academic team, and perhaps one of the most humble athletes to wear the Sioux sweater. Duncan's grade= A+
Check, check, and check plus, completing much more than 50% of the season. (100% of TWO seasons, btw) Duncan's Grade= A+
Say what you will about Hensick etal, but if Duncan doesn't get this award, he (like Panzer) will be robbed. Based on the above criteria, there is not a more deserving player in the NCAA than Ryan Duncan.
