Went a little more in depth this week. I went top 15 for each award and moved a couple more around after seeing them.
After watching so many games this year I can say the most talented conferences (individual talent) are the MVFC, CAA, and Big Sky and it's not even close. There is so much talent in those leagues right now. Southern Conference is down while the Big South has more than it has in the past and the OVC is solid with talent as well.
It seems Dedmon isn't getting much attention at William & Mary. He's a very good player who should have a huge 2015 season. Thought I would mention him as an under the radar name to keep an eye on.

After watching so many games this year I can say the most talented conferences (individual talent) are the MVFC, CAA, and Big Sky and it's not even close. There is so much talent in those leagues right now. Southern Conference is down while the Big South has more than it has in the past and the OVC is solid with talent as well.
It seems Dedmon isn't getting much attention at William & Mary. He's a very good player who should have a huge 2015 season. Thought I would mention him as an under the radar name to keep an eye on.
