Russ Smith Named First Team AP All-American

For the first time since 1994, Louisville has a first team Associated Press All-American.

Russ Smith picked up the honor on Monday, which allows him to claim consensus All-American status after also being honored by the United States Basketball Writers Association, Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News, among others. He is also U of L's first consensus All-American since Clifford Rozier in '94.

Here are your AP All-American teams:

FIRST TEAM:

• Doug McDermott, Creighton
• Shabazz Napier, UConn
• Russ Smith, Louisville
• Sean Kilpatrick, Cincinnati
• Jabari Parker, Duke
  • Nick Johnson, Arizona
  • Nik Stauskas, Michigan
  • T.J. Warren, N.C. State
  • Andrew Wiggins, Kansas
  • Melvin Ejim, Iowa State

  Congrats to Russ on an incredible season and a remarkable career. I think it's safe to say that you are, and will likely always be, the most unlikely Cardinal All-American of all-time.
