College POY Voting

To me there is no doubt Blake Griffin is the top player in the nation. Being a lifelong fan of Big Blue I have a soft spot for Jodie. Meeks has lifted a undermanned Kentucky team to some key wins and possible tournament berth (NIT), Curry is the media mid major darling, James Harden averages over 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists per game and plays 35 minutes, and DeJuan Blair has been consistent each game and came up big against No. 1 Connecticut on Monday. Blair is a great candidate but you hate to leave Young or Fields out of the voting... College POY

I think ...

… it’s a bit of a shame Ty Lawson doesn’t get more consideration. I think he has been better than Hansborough, all things considered. I have not seen Griffin play a whole game, but of the players I have seen, Luke Harangody has been the most consistently awesome.

I do think Meeks is awesome, but he is a “Jodie-come-lately” to this whole process and I don’t think he’s going to be seriously considered. Look out next year, though.

I do think Griffin has it sewed up, as I said in the Round Table.

Agree

Much of the award for POY has to do with pre-season hype sadly. Jodie had none of that this year. Next year (assuming he stays) he’ll have it in spades. Couple that with a vastly improved Kentucky team (hey… a guy can dream right?) and he could be a major contender.

When was the last time Kentucky had a National POY? (Paging 40yrcatfan…)

Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
