Congratulations to him.

NDSU's Ben Woodside was also AP All-America Honorable Mention and will be playing in the Hershey's All-Star game. It's good to see hard working athletes from the mid majors get recognition for the years of sweat they've put in to help them surpass many players who were recruited over them in high school.

A reminder...ALL Conference Players of the Year (i.e OMV) get on the Honorable Mention squad.

Ah... didn't realize that, makes sense now. xthumbsupx

I was wondering how exactly Woodside could've gotten that much recognition before the NCAA tourney to even get to honorable mention status.

I've always thought it was a good move for the Associated Press.
