Comments

Opening sentence of lead has 45 words. Too long.
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:20, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"that ensnared defending" a little bit dramatic.
- ensnared -> involved.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:21, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"defending champion Harvard.[1] Harvard won" a little too soon to repeat Harvard for good prose flow.
- I have rearranged the first sentence.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:43, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"ensnared Kyle Casey and Brandyn Curry" again, too much. Perhaps "involved"?
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:10, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"the CBS Sports Network.:[5]" odd colon.
- Thanks.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:11, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"5 Ivy League Player.." five. "6 Rookie..." six. etc.
- O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:14, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"('89)" does this mean "(1989)"?
- Clarified.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:29, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"third-team selection in 2012, was selected " repetitive use of "select".
- Thanks.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:31, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Each week the Ivy League selects a" -> selected.
- Updated.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:34, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not really, the sentence still says they select "a" player... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:36, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No key for position, class?
- Added.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:49, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not a requirement of GA but it would be nice for the table to be accessible per MOS:DTT.
It's not sortable so you don't need to relink Hummer.
- fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:40, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It says "a player of the week" but there are frequently more than one winner each week.
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:42, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"(Jr., G - Brookfield, Ill.)" etc, what does this all mean? And you should use en-dashes here instead of hyphens (per WP:DASH).
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:27, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"its 2011–12 Men's All-District Teams," shouldn't that be 12/13?
- fixed artifact from copy/paste.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:57, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What's "Big Ten"?
- fixed artifact from copy/paste.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:57, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In District I you link New England, but in District II you link nothing. Be consistent.
- Unlinked New England.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:01, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Don't use hash in place of "number" or similar, per WP:HASH.
- O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:24, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Why is the text in the NCAA Tournament table so small? And what is the point of it being sortable?
- The format is copied from other conferences for consistency.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:10, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"68-62" en-dash.
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:16, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Refs 5 and 11, remove SHOUTING.
- fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:13, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 21, en-dash.
- I don't usually do this in titles, but per your request this has been done.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:18, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Normally refs for PDFs have format=PDF in them.
- Done.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:22, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why the difference in format for Player(s) of the Week vs Rookie(s) of the Week? You have a Class col for Players but combine it for Rookies, it would be a little more consistent and less confusing if you did the same thing each category. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:38, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Rookies are almost always freshmen. This is the first time I have heard of a rookie being a sophomore. It is almost as if an asterisk would be appropriate in this case rather than have a separate column.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:36, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - You know that, our novice readers don't. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:14, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
