Gonzaga University's Graham Ike, Ryan Nembhard and Yvonne Ejim could soon find themselves amongst the elite names in college basketball, as all three were named to their respective award watchlists on Monday.
Each season, the U.S. Basketball Writers’ Association votes on the Oscar Robertson Trophy and the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award, which honor the top men’s and women’s Division 1 basketball players in the country.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan and Caitlin Clark are just a few of the titans of the college game that have been honored with these awards in the past.
Ike and Nembhard were both named to the 50-player midseason watchlist for the Robertson Trophy.
