Incredulous Da’Sean Butler may have a hard time believing this: One of the 10 best players in college basketball.

Heady stuff. He’s WVU’s first All-American since Joe Alexander was AP honorable mention in 2008. Kevin Pittsnogle made the Wooden Award team in 2006 and was also third-team National Association of Basketball Coaches and AP honorable mention all-America in 2006. Wil Robinson was AP third-team in 1972. The last AP second-team player was Rod Thorn in 1962.

Butler will probably join Pittsnogle with the Wooden honor, which is given to the top 10 players among 31 voted-on finalists. Butler was 10th in the AP voting with 10 first-team votes and 128 points. Georgetown center Greg Monroe was the first player on the third team with 119 points. Duke’s John Scheyer was No. 4 on the second-team with five first-team voted and 144 points.
