Coaches vote. He had some off games this year, like every player but he played what seems like every minute of every game this season. His frosh or soph season I wrote here that he is the face of sooner bball. I'm a humble fellow, and I'm wrong way more often than I'm right (86/14% in Dean speak). As a 5'9 white man who juggles bballs like theyre soccer balls I feel compelled to boast because buddy pulled through. Only Hollis and Blake have this honor for us. Damn fine company.
