Who do you think deserves it, and who do you think gets it? Is there any chance in hell Will Wade can be the selection? I think Grant and coach Barnes deserve it. I’m obviously biased. Small part of me thinks they’ll give it to Cal. Smaller part of me thinks they’ll give it to Washington over Grant.
Cal should never get COY when UK doesn’t win the conference. They’re supposed to be the best team every year. Wade was a lock IMO until the FBI stuff. My gut tells me it’ll be Kermit Davis. Grant should be POY without a doubt. It was close between him and PJ but I think Grant separated himself in the Knoxville rematch.
Barnes should get it. No losses at home. No top recruits. #1 for a month, not 3 days. 2 of 4 losses in OT. Coach of POY.
It should be Barnes. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kermit get it though. I think Grant still gets POY again. His numbers are better and they (PJ) split the games performance wise.
I want Kermit to win it, but it would be hard to justify with how they have finished down the stretch. Not sure how Barnes will win when he brought back everyone from a returning conference champion. Grant is definitely POY.
Essentially the same team as the one picked to finish at the bottom last year. Is it less impressive to do it this year? Not like the team got more talented.
I hope Davis doesn't win it simply because of the petulant whining Ole Miss media and fans are doing about it how it would be a travesty if he doesn't win. Ole Miss is 20-9 with a horrible out of conference schedule and a SOS in the 60's... 9-9 in SEC... Their best two wins in conference are Auburn and Miss St and they split the series with both teams. They has Mizzou, UGA, and GA 2x. Throw in Vandy and 7 out of 9 SEC wins are non Tourney teams.
