I think you have the first team pretty well nailed--except--and I'll put this in the form of a question.
As much as I loved Todd Lichti, was he really better than Casey Jakes? I just don't know. I might have them sharing their position. Cop-out, I know.

Love seeing the big redhead on the first team. My one enduring memory of Adam Keefe is that when he got an offensive rebound anywhere near the basket, we got two points. Period and exclamation point. (NPI)

While Jacobsen might have been a better player, I decided to go with Lichti for two reasons. One, he was All Pac-10 all four years. Two, he was like a god to my friends and me. Remember the old arcade beneath LOTS? Four of us were playing pinball one night, and Lichti came in and started playing the machine next to ours. We couldn't even speak -- not even to each other -- the whole time he was there. A couple years later, the year after he graduated, Lichti was back for a particularly big basketball game and he stayed with his old buddy Andrew Vlahov in the Manzanita trailers. I know this because that afternoon two of my friends came racing back to our trailer to tell us that they had just finished getting their asses kicked in pool by Vlahov and Lichti as Jennifer Azzi watched. (God, the crush I had on Azzi...)

So, yeah, Lichti stays on the first team.
