** If I released a preseason First Team, Takal Molson would have been on it.  At the time he played his last game at St. Mary's, he was still there.  It's unknown how things would have turned out, and I didn't want to take someone else's spot in the top 25…..however, the season he had through 21 games warranted recognition, which he is getting here in his own space, next to the First Team, where I think he was headed.**
