Around SBN: The Gift Of The 2003 Tigers

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."

National POY At UK

LeRoy Edwards in 1935.

Alex Groza in 1949.

Bill Spivey in 1951.

Cliff Hagan in 1952.

MAYBE one of those.
