As of right now. I think Barnes has the nod over Kessinger for ISU-B. But with Bell quitting the team that gives Kessinger more minutes so only time will tell.

If Shamet is eligible, he has to be clear leader right now.

He's the 3rd best player on the best team.

Shamet is not eligible.

So if Shamet isn't eligible, who is the frontrunner?

I haven't watched enough MVC teams to know all the freshmen, but I would guess the frontrunner is Darrel Brown.

That award almost always goes to the freshman who is relied upon the most by their team for points, which usually means a lower-tier team. That will keep Austin Reaves out of the running.

True although McDuffie won last year.

Last year was a pretty weak year for freshmen.

And McDuffie was a whale of a talent and a contributor.

Contributors seem to be:

Aaron Cook SIU

Brown, Bar, Kennel & Hodgson all for Bradley with Brown being the best of the group.

Skokna & Satterwhite for Loyola.

Smith and Eaves for Evansville.

Barnes and Kessinger for Indiana State.

Brown, McCloud and Haldeman for UNI.

Reaves for WSU.

Miss anyone?

I was joking about Shamet, btw. I see no reason he won't be eligible.

Are any of those new guys on Missouri St. Freshmen? They are awfully good for newcomers.
