Can some retain the MVP status for the wildcats this year? I think that Hughey has the potential to be the MVP this year... Anyone else?

Newcomer: Bamforth or Porter
MVP: Hughey
Fresh: Fulton or Tresnak

In all honesty, there are three or four players who could get the MVP this year. Cameron Jones of NAU, now that Lillard is gone, is the front runner, but Devon Beitzel from UNC and Broderick Ghilcrest of ISU are both candidates. Oh, and we can't forget about Bobby Howard and Eric Rusch at MSU. UM has two in Will Cherry and Brian Qvale.

Broderick Ghilcrest? Child Please!! We all know that the MVP goes to the best player on the best team which means that this guy is already $hit outta luck! Thanks for the good laugh though :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
they usually dont give the mvp to a player on a team that doesnt qualify for the big sky tourney. so ISU has no chance.

it goes to cam jones by default. he will not only win it he will be unanimous.

bam could get new comer if he plays the whole season

i agree trez or fulton are good ones for fresh award.

fresh of the yr is our best chance of any single awards.
 
so far i'd have to say it goes to Qvale. He's had some big games against big opponents.

If weber doesn't get the Freshmen of the year for one of it's 4 contributing freshmen, i'll crap a brick.
 
Based on pre-Big Sky conference play I'll go with:

1st - Qvale
2nd - Jones

I don't think it would be much of a stretch to throw in any of combo of Beitzel, Cherry, Howard, Hughey as the season goes on.
 
MVP is more about how the team does. To win it, your team usually has to be in the top two. Anything else, and how valuable could you be, anyway. If your team sucks, its hard to get any kind of recognition. I'm sure that there will be plenty of recognition after its all over.

he was MVP i think they were 8-8 or soemthing. his last yr he didn't get it cuz his team sucked. patten beat him out and stuckey was a first rd draft so its true about being on one of the top teams if not the top team.


of the past 11 mvp winners only 2 of them weren't on the hosting/championship team - stucky in 2006 and te show in 2000.


MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

2009-10 Damian Lillard, Weber State
2008-09 Kellen McCoy, Weber State
2007-08 Jeremiah Dominguez, PSU
2006-07 David Patten, Weber State
2005-06 Rodney Stuckey, EWU
2004-05 Seamus Boxley, PSU
2003-04 Alvin Snow, EWU
2002-03 Jermaine Boyette, Weber State
2001-02 Jason Erickson, MSU
2000-01 Brian Heinle, CSN
1999-00 Harold Arceneaux, Weber State
 
Right now Cameron Jones is the front runner. How could he not be? After Lillard, he is the overall best player in the Sky. Yes, a lot depend upon who wins the regular season title, but I wouldn't doubt, if NAU doesn't win it, that Jones gets the MVP. Especially if he continues playing like he has. Against UM he went off. They only way they limited his game was by double and triple teaming him.

Unfortunately, no Weber State player will win MVP this year. The Big Sky has notoriously voted for the MVP to come out of the school who wins the regular-season title.

So unless Weber State wins out and somehow, miraculously wins a share of the title, it isn't going to happen.

My money is on Qvale, assuming Montana wins it, who seems to be the Big Sky's poster child this year. To be honest, even if Weber finishes in the top three, I don't think the Wildcats will get a first-teamer this season.

Here are my predictions for all Big Sky at this juncture in the season:

First Team
Devon Beitzel, Northern Colorado
Brian Qvale, Montana
Cameron Jones, Northern Arizona
Will Cherry, Montana
Eric Rush, Montana State

Second Team
Bobby Howard, Montana State
Lindsey Hughey, Weber State
Broderick Gilchrest, Idaho State
Charles Odum, Portland State
Chehales Tapscott, Portland State

Honorable Mention
Scott Bamforth, Weber State
Kevin Winford, Eastern Washington
Sultan Toles-Bey, Sacramento State
Derek Selvig, Montana
Taylor Montgomery, Northern Colorado

For the most part I can agree with you. Other than Erich Rusch and the leagues MVP is added to the first team, giving the 1st team six spots, I think you are right on target. Howard or Rusch are virtually interchangeable, and since Howard has been the Bobcats team leader the last couple of seasons, i think Howard will end up as a first teamer instead of Rusch. Even though Rusch has a slight edge over Howard statistically speaking.

If we are strictly picking based on position, I think Bull is the best 3 in the league. He has been consistent since Lillard went down and has been playing exceptionally on the defensive side of the court, and his intagibles (rebounding/steals) have been higher this season.

Since Bamforth is going the be the Newcomer of the Year, and as such, the Newcomer almost always gets on the 2nd team. Freshman of the Year usually makes at least the honorable mention and as of right now thats between Fulton, Richardson, Kamar, Garnica, and Carabaja.
