Anyone when the announcement on this award would be? I just noticed Zags reporting McBuckets took the POY, no shocker there.

I'd be very surprised if it's not Billy Garrett. With his numbers and the news that he's playing with sickle cell, he's got to be the favorite.

He had the episode of leaving the team amid rumors he was going to transfer. Then he came on midway in the season before leaving again. Garrett played straight through and despite playing on a cellar dwelling team, his name was out there throughout. I'd take Sheed anyday but got to give this award to Garrett.

If Newcomer consists of transfers then it is Sterling Gibbs.

Jordan leads in everything but points, really could go either way. One player lead his team to 10-8 the other played on a struggling team. Hopefully Rysheed uses this as motivation to come back and be next years BE player of the year.
Depaul was 11-21 last year (three OT conference losses) and entered today 11-20 (one OT conference loss). What difference did Garret really make?They returned everyrone...including their last Big East ROY form 2010-2011. They also added another really good freshman big man. They just lost by 33 points at home in a battle for last place against Butler.No way Jordan doesn't increase their win total by 4-5 games and put up better stats. I like Garrett..but Jordan would eat him alive.

Jordan is more talented, and clearly has more upside, but Garrett was steady, and IMO more polished and consistent for a freshman.
