Los Angeles (August 19, 2009)— The 2009-10 preseason candidates for the John R. Wooden Award All-American Team and Player of the Year trophy were announced today by Richard “Duke” Llewellyn, Wooden Award Chairman and founder. The list is comprised of 50 student athletes who, based on last year’s individual performance and team records, are the early frontrunners for college basketball’s most prestigious honor.
Luke Harangody of Notre Dame is the only 2009 Wooden All-American returning to college basketball in 2009-10. He returns to South Bend for his final collegiate season and has a chance to become a three-time Wooden All-American. Harangody averaged better than 20 points and 10 rebounds each of the last two seasons. He ranked among the nation’s top 10 scorers (25.2) and rebounders (12.8) in 2009 and was a second team All-Big East pick.
