UConn Huskies men’s basketball senior guard Jerome Dyson and sophomore guard Kemba Walker have been named to the 2009-10 Preseason Wooden Award. They join 8 other pairs of teammates to be named to the list.
The only member of the list who was John R. Wooden All-American last season is Luke Harangody of Notre Dame (Is he like 50? Seems like he’s been at ND for 15 years).
